In the lands of Greyspire, the government is run by the corrupt President Grey, as the citizens seek freedom, they soon realise the truth is not what it may seem.
*
April Wren was born to be a detective with nothing to detect so when a mystery knocks at her door: a secret the town has been forced to keep - a friend who lets on more than she should - the love interest who is far from the truth - the history her family tries to bury - and a killer who hides in plain sight. When she discovers the mystery of the town's government, she soon realises, the story is almost too similar to her life.

Book 1: The Child of Starlight
Comments appreciated 😁 Book 1 of the 4 book series: Ex Navy Seal Chaos Alabaster Frost was a shapeshifter born in a world of monsters, myth, and fantasy. A world where mortal eyes are now blind to the truth about the creatures and beasts that dwell among them... His life was a constant adventure, he couldn't complain...but Elemental-Guardians, and an growing darkness that's hell bent on destroying the earth, now that's just crazy! Come with me and hear the extraordinary story of how Chaos came to meet the Elemental Guardians and the little five year old girl named Aurora, The Child of Starlight! Warning! There is mature content later on in the story. It's not explicit but if your under sixteen at certain parts I suggest you proceed with caution. Mentioning of PTSD, blood, violence, sexually implied content at certain moments. But again it's not anything crazy explicit but I'm still being cautious! I'd hate to have anyone lose their innocence! None of the song videos in this story are mine. Poems are mine artwork at the end also mineComplete
