Story Description:
Terrified she will harm her newly-adopted daughter in the throes of a PTSD flashback, Kymbria James travels to the far Northwood of Minnesota to work with a Native American healer. The windigo of tribal lore had awakened just days before Kymbria's arrival, perhaps drawn early into this forty-year cycle by the connection between them. All too soon Kymbria will uncover the reality of the fabled monster's existence and their shared past, risking all she gained in her fight to overcome her downslide into mental instability.
Silas McCoy is well aware of the new cycle of awakening. Indeed, he is in the Northwood at the agreement of Keoman Thunderwood, the Ojibway healer seeking to confront this cannibal windigo. The day he came home to his mountain cabin to find his wife and son taken by a different windigo, he vowed to find a way to eradicate the supposedly unstoppable monsters. Nothing but his own death will halt his quest for vengeance.
As the monster captures one after another tribal member and drags each off to its lair, Kymbria is finally forced into Silas's quest to learn how to destroy it. Even when she learns the truth her mother has kept hidden for forty years, she has no choice other than to continue. Somehow, even without Silas's assistance, she must confront both her emotional situation and the monster...if she can find the courage to do so.

The Beast (Alpha Trilogy #1)
"I know I'm a monster, but even I have my limits!" I shout at him. He shouldn't have done that. "Wait, please, I- , let me explain. I'm sorry-" "I should've known." I say quietly as I turn around and leave him there. I will never trust him again. Not after this. She wanted to be left alone. He wanted to find his mate. She didn't know about his kind. He didn't know about her past. She was a human. He was a wolf. Will he win her over? Will she accept him? Will they be happy? Or will someone try to ruin them?

For thousands of years, the citizens of Asterria have lived at odds with the reclusive Clans who dwell within the Mountains of Donoa, and in recent times the tension has begun to erupt. An act of self defense which led to two lives lost spurred hostility on both sides, and a vindictive witch seeking revenge for the life of her slain kin invoked a dark curse upon Asterria's twin Princes. Now, two centuries past, Kyran and Konan Renhael have lived in fear of the manifestation of their curse as tensions continue to rise. The Clans have been lashing out with increasing aggression and most fear open attacks will soon follow, but as dark impulses and blooded bodies begin to follow in the Princes' wake, it is clear the Clans are not their only concern. In an effort to find a way to break the curse before it is too late, Kyran travels to a Clan village seeking the Matrons, the same circle of witches as the one who originally cursed him and his brother. There he meets the wild and cunning Ylva, one of the heads of the Matron order. Working his way into her good graces could get him closer to finding a way to break the curse, or ensnare him in a new one entirely. Either way, only one thing remains certain. Failure will leave Asterrians drowning in blood, and mark the dawn of another Dark Age. Warning: This book, while being a work of fiction, still deals with real and mature elements.
