"This is an engaging and historically fascinating story. I became quite invested in the characters whose lives took so many turns geographically and emotionally. It has obviously been well researched and it is beautifully presented. The places and the people were depicted with great colour and important detail.
Highly recommended".

I’m a small town girl that loves the salt air and living with the beach on my front door step.

It’s all I have ever known, and all I've ever wanted.

Growing up with just my mom, I never knew any other family. But now my mom has gone, and left me unprotected. A nightmare creeps into my once peaceful town. Seeking me out to drag me back, back into a nightmare...

They want to break me so I will surrender to their soulless ways. They want to control every aspect of my life. But the more I try to fight back, the more severe their brutality is stowed upon me.

My name is Birdie, and I was born into a cult.

Harlow: After being taken in by a motorcycle gang in Los Angeles at the age of thirteen, I should feel safe and protected. But used at their disposal, I am wielded as a weapon against their enemies and a slave to their every order. Every part of my being is seeking nothing more than to be accepted and loved, so with every demand, I listen and obey. That is until they betray me in the most horrific way, and the one who is meant to be my enemy is the only one that can save me.

Plague: I have it all. Everything I have ever wanted. The road to running my empire hasn’t been an easy one, but it’s been worth every drop of blood I have shed. That is until she comes into my life, skipping and whistling like she is straight out of a musical. Her beauty makes her look harmless, but her eyes show who she really is. Dark and depraved, like me. Now I will make it my mission to take her from the Cobra’s so I can use and manipulate her the same way they have.

As long as I can remember my shadows have whispered to me, speaking in a voice both young and ancient. I have learned to mind them, let them guide me through life even when I do not understand their messages. They whisper now to me, a song of sorrow and heartache that weaves itself around the woman I love. A song I do not want to listen to, yet know I cannot run from.
King Arthur has taken this land. Aided by his advisor Merlin and the legions he commands, he has swept over this once prosperous Kingdom like a plague, chasing the last of the Sylvyns into the far south in his quest for power.
They have nowhere to run now, there is no further to go and I fear the bargains that will be made to protect them are ones that will haunt me for the rest of my immortal life.

I was born touched by Nimmet, both a blessing and a curse.
