A Witch's Heart

Book excerpt: Storm De'Larosa has had her run of bad luck and misfortune, along with mistakes that now had her on the run, constantly moving from place to place with her infant son. Death and darkness stalked her every move, striking down everyone close to her. Having fought shadows all her life, she was coming to the point where there was not much fight left in her. She has lost nearly everything in her life, and the only thing she has left to protect was her son who is, even at a young age, showing remarkable abilities that must remain hidden for their safety. Storm was coming to the end of her rope with nowhere left to run. Finding temporary sanctuary was her only goal. That among survival. In her travels, Storm comes across Rhys Airaldi and his unusual family, who, to her great dismay, insists on helping her and her son. She could not be more displeased than if they had offered to give her a lobotomy. The last thing she wanted was more blood on her hands. Though, there was also the fact that Storm was keeping a secret that she dared not share with a soul, let alone with complete strangers. The Airaldis, however, seemed to have a dark history of their own that dated back centuries. Rhys himself seemed determined to keep the past just that, the past, even as it becomes apparent that that was a fruitless endeavor. Doom lurked like a specter, ready to strike, and as they face the perils of the unknown, dark secrets are brought to light and family ties are put to the test. Now in a race against time with their lives inexplicably destined to be intertwined by fate, they can only ask themselves who was carrying the more damning secret? Hopefully the answer didn't come much too late.
