Imagine a kingdom where magic is forbidden,
where guilt of practicing sorcery is punishable by death. In my fantasy
romance, "Night Secrets" Princess Keriam has preternatural powers,
one of which is spirit travel. This phenomenon also goes by the names of astral
travel and out-of-body experience. No matter what it's called, it's an ability
that many people possess. Keriam agonizes, what if someone sees her spirit
while she's having one of her out-of-body experiences? If found guilty, she
will suffer a horrible death, and not even her father--the king--could save
her.
One night,
she has an astral trip that begins thusly: "A slight tug
released Keriam from her body. She floated toward the ceiling, amazed as
always that she could look down at herself in bed. With a certainty
borne of past experience, she knew this was no dream. Ever since her mother's
death two years ago, preternatural powers had evolved within her, and why, she
didn't know. Was it her mother's way of watching over her from the Otherworld?
These nightly journeys were even more recent, and something she must learn to
control, if only she knew how...
She drifted outside
and traveled over the countryside, her soul finally setting down in the dark
forest. While there, she overheard three men plotting her father's
assassination. What could she do now? How can she reveal the plot to her father
without betraying her supernatural power?
One of the
plotters, Roric Gamal, is about to disclose the details of the plot when
Keriam's body calls her spirit back, and she must return...
"A tug pulled
her spirit back. No, not now! She must discover more of the plotters'
plan."
And is Roric Gamal
really one of the plotters, or only pretending to be? Throughout "Night
Secrets" Keriam fights her growing attraction for Roric, confused about
his loyalty to the kingdom and to her father.
"Night
Secrets" is the first romantic fantasy of the Avador series. I invite you
to read this fantasy and the others in the series.
"Night Shadows"
is the second.
"Enchanted
Cottage" is the third, followed by "Allegra's Dream" and
"Wolf Magic."
For lovers of
fantasy romance, these romances are bound to please.
