“They’ve been waiting lifetimes for you, Kaelia. They want you and will stop at nothing to have you.”

 

The warning’s rung in Kaelia’s ears since she discovered she’s far from the ordinary girl who grew up in the coastal town of Margate. She has power. The first time she shows it, death strikes, the second, she loses someone special, and on the third, her mother disappears.

 

Destiny is coming for Kaelia and there’s nowhere she can hide. THEY have stepped out of the shadows to find her. For generations, there have been whispers of The Chosen One. They speak of a name - Marrock - whose destiny entwines with that of The Chosen One.

 

Kaelia must avenge the wrongs, uncover who Marrock is, find her mother, and . . .

The problem with secrets is they don’t always remain secret, no matter how long they’ve been buried.

 

The dark side of magic beckons to Kaelia. It whispers in her ear, seducing her with the promise of yet more power. Having discovered the truth behind the goddess Hel’s connection to Bran the necromancer, Kaelia is finding it increasingly difficult to tell who is on her side and who is against her.

 

Drawn into an age-long battle, she must fight to protect not only those she loves, but also the humans that her enemies, The Salloki, would devour. Confronting an evil never seen before outside the realms of myth and magic, Kaelia is torn. Should she join with Bran? Is he really as trustworthy as he says?

 

But trust cuts both ways as Bran too discovers, unearthing both secrets and lies about his true identity. There is also someone he wants to protect above all, even if that price is unleashing upon Mortiswood the fearsome Vanagandr.

 

As secrets, lies, magic, and emotions weave their tangled web, who will lose their hearts and who will lose their lives?

 

Sometimes the line between good and evil is so blurred it fails to exist…

When Suzy Harte learns on her wedding day that her bridegroom-to-be has been hiding a huge secret, jilting him at the altar seems the best option.

To make matters worse Suzy uncovers more of her bridegroom’s secrets and discovers he has found a valuable diamond ring. With the discovery of the ring, Suzy becomes entangled in a dangerous web of lies. There is someone else who wants the ring and will stop at nothing to have it, not even serial murder. 

With the body count rising Suzy races to unravel the mystery behind the ring, stumbling across years of family secrets while the killer closes in. 

Can she unscramble the secrets before it is too late, and will she find true love again, or will the secrets that silenced many before her lead her to a grisly end?
