Chronicles of Flames
The powers that come with a covenant are strong, intoxicating and head-turning. Like a surfer on the waves, you feel on top of the world. Until the wave comes tumbling down, crashing upon you. Such was the case of Ella Macmillior alias Aquifer, chosen of the Seven Seas to open the portal for Lord Dagon, Leviathan, Behemoth and the Queen of the Coast to invade the earth realm. She didn't ever want to be controlled. She wanted to control. Unfortunately, that wasn't to be the case. She was destined to be a mere tool to be used and dumped. A slave. There was no backing out. She was stuck deep in the mud. The heat was stifling, gradually siphoning life out of her. Until she encountered her means of escape. Until she broke free from a lifelong shackle. Or so she thought... Beware, lest your foe pounces upon you like an unsuspecting prey. Beware, lest you are led to assume that the flame of evil has been quenched. Because, as you stomp on one, squelching the flickering embers, the minions are just around the corner, gathering sticks to ignite another fire. Ella Macmillor, chosen vessel of the seven seas who has water-bending powers, meets Deborah, a vessel of the One called the Redeemer, and breaks free from the clutches of her captors-Mergirlina, her assigned mermaid demon, Leviathan, Behemoth and Queen of the Coast and the head of them all, the ancient Lord Dagon. Find out how she battles her hideous past, finds her formerly unknown siblings, finds love and becomes truly free. ~~~ Second place winner of The Seasonal Contest Awards, paranormal category. #tsc22 First place winner of The Phoenix Awards 2022, Mystery and thriller category.Complete
