    About this ebook

    Cecilia has inherited a unique talent from her family, the gift of witchcraft which can also be a terrible curse. Feared and loathed in her hometown in 16th Century Spain, she faces arrest and execution. After a daring escape, she crosses the Atlantic to flee the reach of the Inquisition, but in New Spain the home and love she finds is soon destroyed by a pack of werewolves. She can`t escape the lycans`curse, but she develops a uniqueness in her kind, with lycan strength and witch`s mind powers.

    Accompanied by the quirky ghosts of her ancestors, Cecilia finds herself in the remnants of the Aztec Empire, destroyed by the Spanish invaders, and in the world of immortals. Struggling to find her way, understanding her true powers, and meeting others of her kind, she becomes engulfed in an epic journey across New Spain and Europe. Although she is still an outcast, even among her own kind, she learns that her friends are closer allies than she has ever known as a mortal; and her enemies are ruthless. As her journey leads her to her true purpose, to face the werewolves ́ deadliest foe, she realizes that the one battle she has not been able to fight is the one against her own inner demons.

    Cecilia ́s odyssey takes us across two continents and centuries. Unforgettable characters become part of this journey, such as Hernando, her mortal passion; Akira, fount of the werewolves, a fierce and also noble being, and the only one Cecilia ́s mind powers cannot affect; and finally, the story also brings us back to ancient vampire Lucan, and even Aurélie.

    Cecilia ́s tale takes the reader beyond the mirror, to face demons that not only arise from the immortal but also from the mortal world.

    Trigger warnings: in some chapters, this book includes cannibalism and suicidal thoughts

    Christine Duts

    I was born in Germany, my father being an officer in the Belgian Armed Forces stationed in Germany. I grew up as a Belgian, and later went to London and then Los Cabos, Mexico, where I eventually settled. I am a teacher of World History and Literature at a private high school. Although I love teaching and my students, my passion is writing. I have been writing since the age of six, and I still have the very first story I ever wrote, packed in a tattered suitcase; I have lost the key, and I will have to cut it open to get that story.I often find inspirations while walking on the beach or sitting on the sand and staring at the waves, and I find that dreams can inspire me too. My goal is to live off my writing, because it is who I am; if I do not write, something is missing in my life.I also rescue and foster animals; and I volunteer for Baja SAFE, an animal rescue organisation. Naturally, I often have a variety of rescue animals in my house. My dream is to run an animal sanctuary from my land in Los Cabos, and that my writing can support such a dream.
