For years, Alexander Easton believed that his family was always in the way.
He always pushed these beliefs into the back of his mind, for he was determined to have the "perfect" life and a"perfect" family.
As impossible as it seems, he claims that he began to receive visits from a supernatural being.
This being, who he calls "Shadow," apparently possessed and manipulated him, making him responsible for the rape and murder of Courtney Parish, and the slaughter of his family, including his 7-year old sister, Meghan.
Before his trial, his attorney advised that he pleaded Insanity, in hope that the jury would send him for rehabilitation and a light prison sentence instead of a life sentence. ( which was almost positively going to happen )
The young 15-year old, to be tried as an adult, refused to plead insane, for he truly believed that this being, "Shadow," was real.
The boy, only at age 15, was sentenced to 4 life sentences, without the possibility of parole or bail. ( Not that anybody would be willing to pay for him to get out anyway... )
Now, for the first time ever, Alexander is willing to share the dark truth and share his thoughts with the public.
Prepare yourselves to hear HIS side of the story. Maybe, just maybe, some of the confusion and disbelief will clear up...

Sometimes love is the strongest magic of all
***
Nineteen-year-old Rhia Greenbrook has lived in the sleepy town of Oakriver in a house with three generations of witches her entire life. Rhia draws her magic from the earth and likes to spend her time amongst plants and nature. Her practice is gentle, sacred, and-per her family's tradition-secret.
New-to-town witch Valerie Morgan is looking for answers about her mother's disappearance from Oakriver seventeen years ago. Without her mother's guidance, Valerie has cultivated her fire magic on her own and she makes no effort to keep her powers hidden. Although Rhia is immediately annoyed by Valerie's blatant use of magic, she can't deny the instant magnetism between them.
But amidst their magical connection, a dark presence looms over Oakriver. Unsettling visions from Rhia's grandmother and dangerous sleepwalking episodes throw into question Valerie's past and what role her presence plays in the strange happenings. And as Valerie gets tangled up further into the darkness, it's up to Rhia to tap into the full potential of her power in order to save the town she loves and the girl she's fallen for.
