Amara Briar, 21, is from a small town, raised as an only child by her parents and grandmother. Life is simple, each day she wakes up and works in her parent's flower shop- Amara doesn't need anything else, simpleton life being a nobody is perfect for her.
She begins to notice strange things happening around her though, like the seeds she planted in her mother's garden growing out of control, or vases shattering on their own when she gets overwhelmed at the shop.
It's all just a coincidence though right?
Amara finds out that her life is indeed extremely, unordinary... as in she's actually a shifter. She has powers that are out of her control, and by letting them run rampant, she's endangering those she loves. Other magical beings and creatures can sense the immense power she holds, and she will come to learn her place in the realm of everything supernatural is critical.
As she is found by other shifters who offer her training and control, she learns to navigate love, discover her origins, and her voice. The discovery that she could fulfill a long time prophecy of Circe- the sorceress who gave the first shifters their power- puts Amara to the true test. Will she find the strength in herself to complete the prophecy, or will sinister forces deliver her to her doom?

The Shifters - Awakening** is filled with fantasy lore, creatures, and finds its source out of Greek mythology. If you love of tale of romance, coming of age, and fantasy, then this book is for you. Give it a read, and I hope it brings you as much joy as I had creating it.

**NOTE: This is a rework of my original book, The Shifters: New Beginnings. Mia is rewritten as Amara, and Alex becomes Theo. While the story basis is similar, the settings and characters have been rewritten to some extent, and not set in high school. If you liked my first version, I think you'll fall in love with this one even more, as it is more mature writing and a more developed plot.
In a world where every royalty child is born with magical powers, depending on its kingdom, unexpected thing occur as a powerless princess is born in the ruling dynasty.
The Sirius Bloodline of the moonlands or as one would like to call it 'Lunalurse'.
Time passes and Maria soon turns seven and still doesn't awaken her gift. The King and his Queen find it odd as a royalty child mostly awakens their gift between the ages of 4 and 6. So they strive to seek answers, some deep inside the lunar palace, and some across the realms making long-life friends throughout the way.
Would the powerless princess awaken her gift? And if she does what would it mean for her, the realms and everyone else? And what if her long-awaited gift is something no one has seen coming, not even her?
And what if this power of hers releases unknown and unwanted guests some the world would have been a better place without and what if she's all to blame?
And what if whilst performing her duty of protecting the realms, she becomes aware of the feelings her best friend Ashton harbors for her, knowing her cousin has taken a liking to him for years? Rowan realizes he has fallen in love with her cousin, as well as Zephyr who has fallen for Maria. She finds herself in a turmoil of longing and raw emotions where she has to choose between love or performing her duty.
Read it all as it takes place right before your eyes. It's never too late to hop onto the track of fantasies
"I might be the princess of the moon, but I can also be the bringer of your doom."

All the characters, kingdoms, names, and places are my ideas. Any resemblance to real ones is purely coincidental.
The story contains some violence and some explicit scenes of gore, but nothing too bloody or disgusting.
Keep in mind, that this is the first book I've ever written, and English isn't my first language. Any mistakes or twists of words are unintentional. I'd do better than this in the future so 🐻 with me.
