AN EPIC STORY OF MAGIC, LOVE, AND WAR The birth of a new star and a new goddess thrusts seven exceptional people's lives into turmoil, forcing them to become fugitives, warriors, spies, and saviors. Junari, a courageous priestess with newfound faith, becomes a reluctant prophet leading a pilgrimage of believers toward the Forbidden Realm. Sao-Tauna, a brave and gifted six-year-old Tanshen princess, her resourceful tutor, Lee-Nin, and their protector Sha-Kutan, a man with unearthly powers and a mysterious past, are hunted by palace soldiers who believe the girl is a threat to the realm and must put to death. Tin-Tsu, a prince turned priest, unwillingly assumes the throne of the Daeshen Dominion as unseen enemies within the palace attempt to end his nascent rule by ending his life. Kellatra, a powerful seer with a secret past, flees her home with her family and an indecipherable lost book, hoping to escape the magical creatures who will kill her and her loved ones to possess it. Sketkee, a brilliant reptilian philosopher from the Sun Realm, races to recover a stolen ancient artifact that may reveal crucial knowledge about the urris ― the elusive magical creatures who have proscribed access to the Forbidden Realm for thousands of years. Leotin, the world-weary leader of a traveling carnival, enlists the protection of a trio of non-human outlanders from other realms as he fights to keep his people alive while trapped in a castle under siege. And Ondromead, a man who cannot die, awakens each morning in a new place to behold events he cannot fathom, such as a young boy named Hashel, whose traumas leave him speechless, but who sings songs not heard for a thousand years. With their lives irrevocably intertwined and altered, they all ask the same question: Will the goddess truly appear, and will she shatter the world as the dreams foretell?

The fat person's obese frame shook as he laughed. He pushed Roseanne towards the broken table. Before the man could process the further things, Roseanne pulled out the old table's leg and stabbed it's pointy end into the fat person's chest.

My eyes were literally glowing, there was no mistaking it. It was not a reflection of light, or any of the other excuses I had used or others had assumed. They were glowing a light sapphire blue color. It was not a bright glow, but it was definitely a glow. Glowing eyes were not normal. Okay, at this point I had to admit it, I was no longer normal. What was I then? For that, I had no answer [[Word count: 495,000]] Copyright August 2016. All Rights Reserved. Readers may not copy, alter, or steal this story.

Lacey Waits has gotten too comfortable appealing to the good natures of the spirits she can communicate with. See, these spirits, they breathe salt on the little sills and doorways to keep the evil out. But when she moves back to Iowa for the spring and a little Jane Doe asks for her help in bringing justice to her gruesome murder - and when Lacey subsequently denies her request - the restless spirits see no reason to stick around, allowing demons and ghouls with lesser-than-holy intentions to wreak havoc. Caught in constant danger, it's up to Lacey to get on the case of Jane Doe's death, rescue a childhood friend from a string of missing persons cases, and regain the good graces of the dead before she joins them at the hand of evil entities and water that just keeps on rising. *Previously featured on the @mystery profile* *Featured on @Paranormal's "Life After Death" reading list* *Featured on @Ghost's "Bustling Ghosts" reading list* *Featured on @crime's "Policing the Paranormal" reading list* *cover by cosettetapes*
