17th Century, Britain
~~~~~
Anemone Hottswell had a pretty decent upbringing. Her father was a merchant, and the Hottswells were part of the minuscule middle class of the Tudor era. Her mother was a nurse and seemed to be able to cure anything from a common cold to syphilis in only a matter of minutes. Anemone loved her parents very much and knew she was a lucky girl.
A week before midsummer, however, Anemone discovers a secret her mother never wanted her to discover and seeks out the Coven of the Elements, the most feared witches throughout all of Britain. As Anemone learns more and more of her mother's secrets and hunts for the truth behind the Coven, she begins to comprehend why her mother did what she did, and why she took what she took.

Finding the Fallen
Kala had always thought of herself as normal, but when the world ended, cleansed by a power most would fail to understand, she realized she was far from normal. That day, Kala awoke in a fog surrounded by a nothingness that permeated every pore of her body. The only sounds she could hear were her own ragged breaths in the vast and empty darkness. When the light finally returned, she found herself utterly alone and suddenly part of a struggle much bigger than she'd ever thought possible. With that struggle came something else...power. Power to control the elements. Power the likes of which she had only seen in movies or read about in books. Despite her disbelief, it remained...right there in the palms of her hands. Eventually Kala learned to use her power as it was intended. As she wandered the new world, she met others like herself, other Servants with similar abilities who understood the reason for the destruction...for the loss. And then, six years after her world turned upside down, she met him. A handsome stranger in a tiny town in the middle of the West Virginia woods - not a Servant - not like her. And certainly not the type of man Kala had expected to find herself falling for. But the man she met there turned out to be more than just a hero in her time of need. At her side, he would become a protector, leader, confidant, and so much more. Together, they would find themselves fighting a growing evil...a man like Kala, who had been granted power beyond words or description. He might have been a good man once, but his fall was nearly complete. And now he desired only to rule - not to heal. This man would lead a small army against them, but they wouldn't have to fight alone. There was another, more powerful force on their side...one that could change the course of the war to come.Complete
