    About this ebook

    Lost in a forest, stumbling her way through a swirling void of white, Chrissy tries to find her way home. She's running, but she can't remember who is chasing her or why.

    Found by mythical creatures, Chrissy is convinced that she's merely dreaming. Shifters, fauns, and fairies... Oh my! Creatures out of mythology surround her, helping her to retrieve her memory, but at what cost?

    Fenric is inexorably drawn to Chrissy; her scent, her laugh, and the feather light touch of her soft skin. His secrets are about to be exposed, in order to save Chrissy. Will he jump through the shadows, endangering all he holds dear, or will he hide in the darkness?

      Synopsis

      Lost in a forest, stumbling her way through a swirling void of white, Chrissy tries to find her way home. She's running, but she can't remember who is chasing her or why.

      Found by mythical creatures, Chrissy is convinced that she's merely dreaming. Shifters, fauns, and fairies… Oh, my! Creatures out of mythology surround her, helping her to retrieve her memory, but at what cost?

      Fenric is inexorably drawn to Chrissy; her scent, her laugh, and the feather light touch of her soft skin. His secrets are about to be exposed, in order to save Chrissy. Will he jump through the shadows, endangering all he holds dear, or will he hide in the darkness?

      Prologue

      The droning of tires against cement, broken by the soft thump as they drove over pot holes and cement seams along the seemingly endless highway, lulled Chrissy into a light doze.

      Her parents were bantering back and forth in the front seats, play fighting as they always did on these long trips. It was a habit the two seemed to endlessly enjoy. Her father would say something outrageous and her mother would volley back with another that was so far out there that she often had a tough time keeping a straight face.

      Chrissy didn’t mind though, it felt nice to have the sound of their laughter break up the monotony of the long four-hour trip.

      She had her cell with her, but the mountains were blocking any signal, so she just pushed it back into her purse. Maybe when they reached the resort with the secluded cabins, she could sneak away and check in with her friends.

      Once a year, they would pack themselves into the car and head across the mountains of South Dakota for a two-week long camping excursion.

      "It's rustic – no electricity or plumbing. Just us and nature. Afterward, we’ll get a room
