Veins of Magic and Midnight

Veins of Magic and Midnight - A shorty story!

Roseville looks like any other quiet town... sunlit streets, familiar faces, and secrets buried deep beneath its roots.

Victoria has spent her whole life surviving, not living. Between school, late shifts at the coffee shop, and a home that never felt like one, she's learned to keep her head down and her emotions locked away. But something inside her has always felt different, like a shadow waiting beneath her skin.

Then the night at the lake changes everything!

A body is found hanging at the edge of the forest.A whisper calls her name from the dark and a stranger with haunting eyes and dangerous secrets walks into her life.

Adam is everything she should stay away from... mysterious, intense, and drawn to her in ways he doesn't explain. But when their worlds collide, something awakens inside Victoria... something powerful, something ancient... something not entirely human.

As the truth begins to unravel, Victoria discovers a past that was never meant to be found... a mother who made a deadly pact, a power that was never meant to exist, and a darkness that has been waiting... for her!.. Because the evil buried beneath Roseville isn't gone.

It's been watching!

Waiting... and it wants what belongs to it.

Her!

In a world of magic, blood, and betrayal, Victoria must decide...Will she control the darkness within her...or become it?

Secrets don't stay buried and some bloodlines were never meant to be broken.
