Otherworldseries Stories

Aiden Elam doesn't quite fit in with the other kids in the mortal world, and for good reason. When the Morrigan, the Celtic goddess of war, kidnaps him and drags him off to Eile, he soon learns there is far more to his strange life than he ever thought possible. Aiden's heritage, much to his surprise, connects directly to the high queen of Eile, and when she insists he spend his summers in her realm, Aiden and his family are understandably hesitant. With the Morrigan defeated and the dark magic of the Otherworld up for contention, this new world Aiden belongs to isn't exactly safe. But deep in the heart of Eile there is an ancient forest protected from the dark beings and harmful magic of this enchanting realm - a place Aiden might find refuge and perhaps, if he's lucky, discover his first real friend.

Once a year, Aneira's village is visited by the Collector, a man tasked with gathering an annual tithe from the people of Inis Seisear. Always hidden beneath a heavy, hooded cloak, it is common knowledge that this unwelcome stranger hides a hideous visage. Not that it matters to Aneira. She is blind, and despite the unquestionable love of her parents, she is tired of their overprotective ways. When her family's tithe goes missing, she volunteers herself as payment instead, unsure of who this Collector really is or if he is as kind as his unusual glamour suggests. What Aneira discovers on the island of Inis Seacht, however, is more than her chance at freedom, but a terrible curse she may or may not have the power to break.
