She was born into a shroud of darkness. 
There was no shining light, no bright path upon which the moon could have shown itself. The dirt paths of Andover lay bare, as the low winds rustled the branches of willows. If one was to listen closely, their low whispers would slowly become clear statements of excitement yet underlying darkly with fear. Tragedy. 
The townspeople closed their shutters and hid themselves under the guise of the thick black air that hung still. Some took to praying to whatever gods they depended on, while others threw themselves upon more primitive ways in order to cast away the oncoming danger. 
"𝑇ℎ𝑒 𝑐ℎ𝑖𝑙𝑑 𝑖𝑠 𝑏𝑜𝑟𝑛. 𝑂ℎ, 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑐ℎ𝑖𝑙𝑑!" 
Predators who stalked their prey any other night would do no such thing, for that night was the night of which there would only be one predator. 

The first born of Osiris.

Cressida goes to a completely different place, one she has only heard in stories and read in books, with hopes of finding what her heart has always longed for. But love, mystery and secrets will chase her and it will only be a matter of time before she realizes what her heart truly desires. *This story is a standalone title in the Haverston Family series.
