Nightmares, the harbingers of fear. They permeate the world through the minds of the scared, or of the insecure. The year is 1843, and in the midst of the Industrial Revolution, there is an epidemic. A silent, deadly, mind rotting epidemic. Nightmares have begun to take over the minds of the fearful and insecure, dragging them into the deep pits of a long lasting mental abyss. Turning them into shells of people, and coercing them to do the bidding of Insanity. Now, even more horrific, the nightmares are coming to life, materializing out of the minds of the deluded. They are impossible to fight, but one so damsel will not accept that.
Ashling DeGenesis is a young women who fights the nightmares, both mentally and physically. She is the holder of a special gift, the gift of Coelesense. The magic is used to reverse nightmares, to turn them for paralyzingly horrors of the mind into images of light.
For three long years Genesis has fought the insanity, which is slowly poisoning Britannia and its inheritance. This being is as ancient as it is powerful. The pinnacle of insanity, the incarnation of evil. And it's visit to this realm is long overdue.
He is coming.

How To Be Human
"I have been shot at by people today, been chased around by people wearing hazmat suits, I overheard my boss saying he wants to kill me, and I'm now stuck with a vampire-turned-human that is cranky 24/7. All I am asking is that I get one night of sleep. One night. So, for the love of all that's holy, let me sleep in peace." Warren stared at me for the longest time, and then finally blinked. "I tuned out after you said you were shot at, you mind repeating that again?" Alexa Kay Hazelwood was on the brink of discovery. She was going to reveal to the world that the monsters that haunted little children's dreams were real. She was also going to reveal that she had a weapon to stop them. An antidote. She was going to turn every vampire in the world back to a human again. But everything started to go the opposite way. Her boss wanted her research all to himself and the vampire she found had problems of his own. She was caught between the middle of it all. She had to teach this vampire how to be human again. "All I knew about Warren was that he was born in the 1700s. He had a sister and a father. He was one of the first vampires created. His best friend betrayed him (on what, I don't know) and that his name was Ryan Caine. That's all I knew about my dear friend Warren. That, and he was moody all the time."Complete

My eyes were literally glowing, there was no mistaking it. It was not a reflection of light, or any of the other excuses I had used or others had assumed. They were glowing a light sapphire blue color. It was not a bright glow, but it was definitely a glow. Glowing eyes were not normal. Okay, at this point I had to admit it, I was no longer normal.
