In the human realms, there are stories of a great monster that prowls beneath the full moon. Half man, half beast. A story made up so children would never wander too far into the forest late at night.
Brenna James grew up hearing these stories, but she was one of the few who knew that the stories were true. She and her family were hunted for their gifts. They'd been hiding in the human realms her whole life. That is, until the day they'd finally been found. And, everything changed. 

Brenna is whisked away to the realm of Vervale in the world of Crescent, a land of equal magic, malice, and danger. As she navigates a court of deception and secrets, Brenna battles between learning the truth about her history and building a home where she and her family will be safe in the future.

He is also one of a kind. When they first met it was a supernova, two stars coming together in a stellar collision with stellar dynamics. As an evil is looming, threatening to destroy the Earth, can these two outliers save the world with powers neither utterly understand? ~~~~~~~~~~~ Zora could only shiver as: his eyes darken looking at her, becoming more onyx black, and purple bruise-like shadows appear beneath his eyes. Bryce stands at 6'2" and has a thin and lanky but muscular body. Zora felt a tiny piercing pain trying to hit her over and over, but somehow it was blocked. "Where am I?" "Who are you?" Bryce asked sternly, glaring down at Zora. "It's her!" Piper said running onto the field. "That's the girl! She is the girl from my dreams! She is the one to bring Hell Fire!" ~~~~~~~~~~~ Updates every Wednesdays! Participating in: #theseasonalcontest
