Before she was Etania’s mother, Tala was a slave.
Sold by her own parents, Tala had no hope of paying off her parent’s ever-growing debt. Yet, an encounter with the handsome blacksmith, Jakin, puts her on a path to changing that fate. She may have given up, but he hasn’t.
The path to freedom will be a rocky one, for Tala must learn to embrace freedom both inside and out. Jakin seems to be the person to lead her there, but even he can’t remove the shackles around her heart.
Only one person can: Melchizedek.

Side Stories
Beginnings
In the primal era of Tearah's history, there were five people who tamed the wild creatures who threatened their world.
One was a young woman bent on stopping a tribal war...
Another was too old to shed tears...
The third was a boy desperate to save his mother's life...
A fourth only wanted to protect her children...
And the last was a man who wanted to prove himself to the woman he loved...
Their stories are the beginnings of the tamers: the Equus, the Ixites, the Draconians, the Lycan, and the Eritam. Which is which? Well, you'll just have to read this Christian Fantasy short story collection to find out!
Communion
Contrary to what that slimy Bram Stoker said, I, Lucy Westenra, am not dead, nor lustful. After all, any good vampire hunter knows that stakes through the heart don’t work. One must burn the body completely before the vampire dies.
That’s the problem. I don’t die. I don’t age. And even though being a beautiful, ethereal being seems like a wonderful blessing, it’s not. I have many reasons to hate my new existence.
Reason One: my fiancé left me in a tomb to die and then married someone else.
Reason Two: I’m always thirsty, and the only drink that will satisfy me is blood. Sure, I drink the blood of criminals (not children! I’m looking at you, Bram Stoker!). But have you ever tried drinking blood? I doubt it. It’s nasty, and the coppery taste makes me wish I could be a vegetarian.
Reason Three: Dracula pursues me, intent on making me a member of his harem. As if I would ever want to be one of those succubi! Especially since they serve the vampire who made me this way.
Because of him, I fled London and am traveling the world. I never stay in one place, and I don’t make friends or boyfriends. That would get me killed. I dyed my hair more times than I can count, changing names and identities like clothes.
Sometimes I wonder: is there hope for me to be human again?
