Read the first chapter in the What Lies Within Us Novel by USA Today Bestselling Authors Kiki Howell and Gina Kincade.
An Amazon Top 100 Bestseller in, Paranormal Romance, Gothic Fiction & Occult Horror
After receiving a letter from an aunt she never knew existed, Kyna Hughes travels to Ireland only to find out her whole life has been a series of well-orchestrated lies.
Suddenly, this poor girl from the foothills of the Alleghany Mountains is thrust into a life of not only the wealthy and affluent, but of dark magic and secret societies.
As Kyna learns of the magic hidden inside her, purposefully stunted for her protection as she grew up, she must now battle mystical hauntings-the result of curses-while getting a crash course in utilizing her powers.
Kidnappings and satanic weddings become her daily events as she struggles not to lose her heart to one of two men-a former Navy SEAL hired to protect her, or a wizard hired to train her.
Soon she will realize just how true it is that "What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us."

As the Crow Falls | ✔
Niccola is a demi-queen undercover in enemy territory. Her little sister went missing seven moons ago, but one lead remains: a picture of a woman's face, drawn by a diviner shortly after the disappearance. Tracking her down has led Niccola to Calis, the realm next door whose border with her own remains closed for a reason. There, the trail goes cold. Until, that is, Niccola runs into a man in the marketplace who bears a family resemblance to the woman she seeks. His name is Isaiah, crown prince of Calis, and he's investigating disappearances, too. They join forces, faking courtship to sneak Niccola into the palace and get Isaiah's wedding-minded mother off his back. It doesn't take long to suspect that a common threat might underpin both their realms' problems. And as Niccola begins to develop real feelings for Isaiah, she's faced with an impossible choice: reveal her secrets and risk breaking his trust, or leave him in order to chase down the woman who stole her sister... a woman whose forbidden magic comes with a cost that could bring both realms to ruin. ❖❖❖ Complete and fully edited.
