Rosewood Maddness

Gabriella has had a very unhappy childhood.

Her father hates her, her mother ignores her, her older sister is cruel to her every chance that she gets, and her older brother confuses her by being kind but distant to her.

Gabriella's whole world changes when she is attacked by wild ferals shifter that take a chunk out of her shoulder before driving her over a cliff.

She wakes up in a small cottage with a older grumbly bear shifter who claims that she is the heir to an ancient totem that has the ability to turn a shifter's body into dust and send their soul to the eternal hunting grounds and she needs to kill him so that he can finally be relieved of his burdern.

Ten years later after accomplishing grueling amounts of traning Gabriella has made peace with her brother and her past...though she changes her name to Gabe... and with his blessing begins to travel seeing the world and all the beauty that is has to offer and making some good friends along the way

However, trouble in the shifter world is being stirred up by a group of shifters who call themselves the 'The Order of Light' whose goal it is to break down the wall between the world of the living and the eternal hunting grounds in order to retrieve their lost love ones whom they feel died unjustly before their time.

As a guardian of the gate between the two Gabe cannot under any circumstances allow herself to be captured and forced to use her sword which is one of seven keys to destroy the delicate balance that has been established since the swords came into being.

Knowing that she can't fight off 'The Order of Light' on her own Gabe returns home hoping that with the help of her brother she can keep herself safe long enough to figure out a way to stop the zelots.

However, returning to her brothers side sets off a series of events that will challenge her beliefs, her heart, and her convinction to the sword that she was choosen to weild.
