Description
Shelland Conall has always believed herself to be ordinary, and she's never had reason to suspect otherwise. Not until an enigmatic stranger seems to show up at every corner, and he's claiming to be the one that saved her life. Thing is, Shelland doesn't remember her life ever endangered. But Beck, this charming boy with eyes like ice, is relentless and comes bearing an unthinkable truth: that someone close to her has been poisoning her. It's not just any type of poison either, but a magic suppressant disguised as an everyday pill, and it's crafted to keep something buried inside of her. Struggling to read between the lies, Shelland must act fast on who to trust, but how can she trust anyone when she can't even trust her own memories? And the more she learns about Beck's supernatural life, the farther she will fall into his bloody world of magic that she never knew existed. But what happens when a broken girl tastes her first dose of darkness? The Perennial Chaos Series: Umbra, Vol. I Highest Ranking: #9 in Werewolf, July 2015 *This version is the complete first draft.
