Rowan Evergreen is an Irdisch Witch and able to see and manipulate the life energy of everything around her. As she chooses to follow the Irdisch credo to do no harm to any living creature she makes herself vulnerable to the hunters who would seek to exploit her gifts, or worse, consume her life force.
She moves to the country village of Sheriton in Washington State USA for what she thinks will be just another temporary stay in a block of others - Irdisch Witches never linger for long. However her plans are turned on their head when she meets a host of unusual characters, some of which are other like her.
Adam is the enigmatic book shop owner with a friendly face but a secret steely side. Connor is a Changeling and his Irish charm and wolfish smile win Rowan over enough to break her usual rules. Marrick and Ava are the otherworldly Vaenwyn, ageless creatures capable of opening Rowan's eyes to more of her Witch history than she could ever have imagined.
Drawn into the happenings of the Changeling pack, most of which are out for her blood, Rowan tries to navigate new friendships, ancient alliances and a new way of living. As if that weren't complicated enough, Rowan stumbles across a vile enemy unlike anything she has ever encountered - one that will stop at nothing to hunt her down and drain her life force, inch by slow inch.
Life in the remote village turns out to be anything but simple and Rowan is forced to forgo her life of reclusive solitude in favour of one filled with people, adventures and danger.

Chimera Awakened by k-c-gilliland

He gave me a feline smile as he stalked toward me. I backed away until my heels hit the stall wall and he took advantage of my surprise by stepping in to me, his body a mere whisper from mine. "That's good, Evelyn," he murmured and brushed a strand of hair behind my ear. My heart was pounding and I knew my face was betraying everything I was feeling. Damn him. I didn't want to feel this excited clench in my stomach. I didn't want to feel this longing for him. "What are you doing?" My voice was shakier than I would've hoped and far too breathy. "Something I've wanted to do for a very long time." *************************************************** Two hundred years after a powerful sorceress eliminated all modern technology and most of Earth's population, the people left behind live happily with no electricity, no motorized machinery - no advanced technology of any kind. However, many of them now possess magical gifts that were once considered myth. Evelyn Kentala, a talented horse trainer, is an empath and uses her gift to understand animals. Her abilities don't allow her to know the emotions of people - or so she thinks. When Broderick Ryan, the next leader of his and Evelyn's province, returns home after being gone for five years, Evelyn discovers she's much more than an empathic horse trainer. Frightening and rare abilities begin to manifest and she's left reeling when she discovers why. Evelyn and Broderick find themselves drawn to each other as they discover the secrets of her unknown past and fight to keep themselves, and their province, safe from those who wish them harm.

12 parts Complete
Thirteen-year-old Rowan finds himself in Auradelle, a magical world that appears in his grandfather's drawer shortly after his death. Rowan would do anything to get his grandfather back, which means staying in Auradelle to find the Aura, a gem that holds the energy of the universe together, and has enough power to grant someone anything they wish for. Also after the Aura is Lord Adar, a vicious man who has resurfaced again in order to regain the Aura's power for unknown reasons. Rowan finds himself lost in a maze of Auradellians, who are all born Aardians (boys with the spirit of a forest animal and the ability to run faster than average), Gwydions (boys with the ability to show their emotions via a cloud of color, and can read thoughts), Celestes (girls with the heart, soul, and wings of a butterfly, who can see whatever they want to see), and Genesises (girls with the character and wings of a bird who can control objects with their mind). Lucky for him, Rowan soon meets new friends, all willing to help him search for the Aura as long as they get a share of wishes: Zoe, an Auradellian born hopelessly, ordinarily human, Seraphina, a Genesis with the most useless wings known to Auradelle, and Vivian, a blind Celeste. Together, they fight for their dream, but soon find out that they are keeping more secrets than information shared. Will Rowan find his way home? Or is he lost forever, with no grandfather, no Aura, and no friends to guide him on?
