The Excerpt
“Nera,
calm down,” Jasper whispered in my ear.
He pulled me close and cradled my head against his chest. “Just listen to my voice and relax. Go with the dream, try not to fight it.”
When
I woke, I was lying down on one of the overstuffed couches in the library with
Brie hovered over me. Jasper was sitting
opposite, Sully beside him, both watching me intently. I glanced around the room and took in all the
things I had grown up with while my mind tried to settle. Huge stuffed animal heads gazed down at me
with glassy eyes, looking more threatening than before. Everything seemed to have changed for
me. I no longer felt innocent and
carefree. Something sinister had
encroached into my life and changed everything forever.

sat up and brushed off the nausea that threatened. Shaking my head, I struggled to control my
thoughts before I turned to Jasper. “Are

I hugged my hands around my stomach and willed my body to do what I
wanted it to.
About the Author
Ari Harper never wanted to grow up.
To offset the limitations of aging ungracefully, she created her own set of unique worlds where she can be and do whatever she wants.
Gods, witches and demons surround Ari while she spins her magic, doing mainly what they tell her to do. Given a chance, she prefers to work amongst chaos, which is good because she is constantly surrounded by children, all clamoring for attention. Some of them end up in her stories, some of them even get to die grisly deaths or be cast away to another realm.
