|Book Three of The Soul-Bound Chronicles| ✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧ Everything is falling apart around Josh. If the issues of Cale's Soul Sickness and Mara's growing distance weren't bad enough, now rifts are forming too quickly to hide. With the implosion of pocket dimensions, the very veil between realms is at risk. A potential solution arises in the form of the Elementals. They hold not one, but two of the coveted keys, and their experience with the Energy Realm provides their greatest chance of curing Cale. But there are centuries of tension between the Elementals and the Soul-Bound, and if Josh and his friends don't manage to diffuse it, the Paladins may find themselves losing two important keys to the Shadow Knights. The young Paladins will find themselves tested in ways like never before, and unless they can conquer their inner and outer battles, they will find themselves buried beneath the destruction of a growing darkness. ➢ Amazing cover made by dayisdemigod

Sheila, an MFA candidate at Iowa State spends her days with her friends, James, Jackson and Dave. She writes flimsy erotica and goes to a pub every night with her friends. It all changes when one of her friends is accused of spiking a girl's drink at a party, and Sheila confirms seeing her with him at the party. She is left without friends, all except Kat and the Horror Queen Chloe. What she does not tell anyone is that the two months after, she has felt like a two-sided person, a bright and a dark side. Sheila writes the manuscript she is hoping to be published in her name, every morning. She types paragraphs and deletes them, because writing from a true-life affair is dull and redundant. And in the night, she comes alive with her second book. Obsessed with a murder mystery that weaves her past to present, Sheila writes a book about a campus serial killer who hunts down and kills her friends in the most horrible manner, using Urban legends as inspiration. It is her hope that this book is published in her pen name, never to be linked with her. There is only one problem; she returns home to find the book missing. There is a writing in blood on her wall: Challenge Accepted. It becomes a question of whether art mirrors the horrors of reality, or if it is the other way round. What happens when Legend comes to life, when a Phantom figure looms in the shadows with an all too familiar leather mask, and a hook for a hand? Read as Sheila and her friends try to catch up the killer before the pages of her book turns, and it is their turn to die.
