Just a collection of some of my darkest arts. Dive in if you'd like to see the lowest depths of my mind!

Imagine what life would be like if every twenty-third person had inexplicable access to a strange power, due to a sort of... golden glow in their DNA. Now Imagine you are that one, and the twenty-two are so afraid of your power that you become afraid they'll kill you over it.

This world runs parallel to ours, though some people are born very different from others. These people are born at random, born with features and instincts that bear the likeness of animals. These people tend to be stronger than average humans, but average humans fear them, outnumber them, and capture them for profit. They are the Animalistics.

Deep in the forests of the Olympic peninsula, through the ancient mists and winding roads, lives Kella Burke - the last daughter in an ancient line of witchcraft. Though she is powerful, she is alone in caring for ailing mother. Her ancestral home is crumbling around her, and being the town witch doesn't pay as well as it used to. Magic alone isn't going to put a new roof on the place. She's thrown an unexpected lifeline in the form of Mateo, a gentle nursing student tasked with helping her sort out her life, but with his appearance comes a chill wind, the voice of a god long dead, and a danger Kella never thought she'd have to face for herself. She may not have asked for the responsibility, but the town of Hythe is Kella's to protect. With Mateo's help, she will have to find her family's lost Book of Shadows, seize the power that is her birthright and finally decide who she is, on her own terms. Updated Fridays.
