Eighteen year-old Lee Indridason has a priceless gift. He can play any musical instrument like a master, within minutes of laying hands on it. He's graduated high school, his band is on the rise, and he's found a very special girlfriend, Jesse...who happens to be a Wiccan. The future's wide open for this young Texan from humble beginnings. Only his priceless gift comes with a price. Enough anger or pain can trigger uncontrollable, violent rages. A wild animal sleeps inside of him, always waiting to be awakened. He calls it "The Steppenwolf". And drugs and alcohol are the only things he knows of that can keep it dormant. Initiated into Jesse's coven as a fledgling witch, Lee finds close friends, wise teachers, and a personal path that feels right. One that reveres Nature and trains him in the Old Ways -- the ways of magic -- and ways in which he can begin to control the Steppenwolf without using drugs and alcohol. But he soon discovers that, for the strongest, the path of the witch is fraught with danger -- both from Nature's "world unseen", and from one's fellow witches. "Perfect love and perfect trust" become expendable tenets for those who harbor jealousy, ego, and hunger for power and prestige. And even if Hell and demons are nothing more than Christian myths, there lurk things in Nature easily as terrible. And some far, far worse.

She set out to destroy herself, piece by piece she fall apart until the remains were too scattered and maybe she should've stopped from lighting herself on fire but why would she, when she had a lighter and the world around her was a tank filled with gasoline? Why is destruction so beautiful? She thought destruction was beautiful so she set out to destroy herself.

A military experiment gone awry sent an entire country spiralling into chaos, death and destruction. The modernised nuclear weapons had malfunctioned, releasing toxins that were only meant to immobilise the afflicted. To everyone's horror, the toxins had transmuted (perhaps divulging the warped truth that it had been parasites the scientists had been working with all along ) into a lethal parasite that killed instantly, latching and residing within the minds of its hosts. To those who barely survived, there was an unspoken promise that the parasite, which now lay dormant, would finish its job one day. Only those who had once been mentally- impaired survived this cataclysm, having miraculously recovered in the wake of this ordeal. Then came news of people developing powers, people dissolving into occult groups, going insane and then dying a painful death- one filled with unadulterated madness. But that was not all. There was a madman bent on saving himself and establishing a new and improved rule where survival of the mentally fittest was key. I had to stop them. I had the means. Born with clinically- diagnosed obsessive compulsive disorder and now a telepathic with powers that were beyond me, I could very well level the playing field...

Damien Arden is a failed artist who sells his work in the city's promenade market. From his stand, he can see the beach where a young dancer comes every afternoon to practice- for months now. The two have only communicated through their work, and hardly through speech. But one night after Damien meets with a fatal accident, there is only one painting that will save him, that only the dancer can recognise after months of observation. A coming of age story about loss, friendship and the true beauty of two artists communicating in their own languages of passion which turns into a relationship with profundity.
