Enchantress

Prologue

Prologue

May 18, 2017

Pain seared through my abdomen. I’d never been stupid enough to stick my hand in fire before. However, as heat pulsed through my senses I had to imagine that this was the closest comparison. Hot blood poured from my gaping wound. I clamped my hand down over top of it in a vain attempt to stop its flow. As if in defiance, it streamed over my paling fingers and down my arm. I started to slide down the tree I’d been backed up against. My dress caught on the bark on my way down. Then I stopped sliding as the knife caught me once more, in the chest this time.

A gasp tore from my throat. It sounded far off and foreign to me. Like it had come from a long ways away. My heart pounded in my chest and ears. Each pump it made forced more blood from my body. I could feel it leaving me. That’s when the realization, sharper than any knife, hit me. This was to be my last moment of life.

Why was this happening? I opened my mouth to speak. To ask him that question. No sound came though. Just another horrible gasping noise. I’d trusted him…

This didn’t make any sense.

This wasn’t supposed to happen. A fog started to close in. It folded over my mind and lay like a heavy blanket.

I was supposed to be going home. I needed to tell him. He had to know. Now, however, I was dying in the middle of the forest.

I hit the ground with a dull thud. All my strength fled from me. I couldn’t get up no matter how hard I tried. My legs just wouldn’t work. Coldness crept across my body, starting my fingers and toes and slowly reaching inwards. The blood coated, my blood, knife dropped to the ground beside me. One thought pushed it’s way through my pain addled brain as I slipped sideways.

I hadn’t even gotten a chance to say goodbye…

Genevieve “Gen” Harper has long gotten used to the magic that fills her world. Then again it’s not hard when you grow up seeing herds of unicorns in the park every other day. Not even the heroes named after legendary fairy tale figures known as the Queensmen that protect the world faze Gen anymore. She’s got more important things to worry about, such as passing her college classes and making sure her brother gets up in time for his classes. Everything gets turned on its head the night she’s attacked by a Troll. That’s when she learns that she something called an Everlasting, that fairy tales are real, and there’s another world called Ederlind. Oh, and apparently she was murdered there. A suspected victim in a civil war.

Now Gen has an impossible second chance at life and the Queensmen want her to help them stop the rebels threatening Ederlind’s security… and Earth’s. Known as the Enchantress, Gen has the ability to use powerful magic without paying the price that comes with magic. Out of fear that the ones she loves will get caught up in the war, she agrees but that is just the beginning. Something sinister lurks nearby and is close at hand. However, Gen is nearly certain that it isn't the monstrous Beast that has inserted himself into her life.
