Book #1 in the Chrim Chronicles series •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• A small town, perhaps not far from yours, has been keeping a secret since it was founded six centuries ago and has managed to carry its secret into the world of iPhones and social media. In this town, humans are peaceful neighbors to forest-nymphs, witches, werewolves, and vampires. When a ritual turns dark and ends the life of dozens, it marks the end of a long peace. Twenty-year-old Farren, a witch descending of the creators of dark magic, decides that her current job as an executioner is not enough to keep her family safe and gathers an army to dispose of the current council and seize power for her own. But Farren is not the only one who rises. Alliances are formed, plotting each other's downfall. ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

* 2017 WATTY WINNER!* Blurb: Humans are at the top of the food chain and always have been. But what if they weren't? What if another took our place and decided to raise and exploit us as we have every other animal on earth? Welcome to a world after humanity... No one is exactly certain where the sibla came from. Some say they evolved from humans long ago, slowly taking power as their numbers increased. Taller, stronger, and longer-lived, than homo sapiens it isn't too hard to imagine. Now humans must face a reality in which they are no more than animals, domesticated beasts bred for their master's various needs and hungers. Rachel Turner is only eight years old. Born in Demin, one of the last remaining free human settlements on earth, she has never been forced to face the reality of life under a sibla Master, living a carefree existence in her hidden village. Magnus Kendrick is a sibla farmer with a sizable estate on which he raises all manner of livestock, from chickens, to sheep, to...humans. He is also the man destined to purchase Rachel's life. *Warning: This book contains a certain degree of gore and disturbing themes Beautiful cover by @my_fairytale 2016 Fright Fest Gold Winner Cryptic's Choice 2017 WATTY Winner ( Story Smiths category) *All Rights Reserved
