When Dad decides to get in touch with his inner hippy and move from the bustling city of L.A. to the sticks of Northern Idaho, Lara Dupree resigns herself to a fate worse than death. But a freak encounter introduces the mysterious Draven who is anything but normal and Lara is thrust into a dangerous reality where legends are real, omens become fact and nothing is ever what it seems. Pushed beyond anything she has ever experienced, Lara discovers an inner strength far surpassing her expectations and with it, grave consequences. With the balance of several worlds dangling about them, the two are forced to make decisions that will change them forever. Will everything Lara loves be sacrificed, or will her life become the fairy tale she so desperately desires? **********"A very impressive read. I had trouble putting it down because, once again, Ashley Knight's descriptive writing takes you through the book as if you were watching a movie; you are able to see every scene and feel every emotion. I will certainly be paying more attention and looking around every tree the next time I visit a forest!"– Iva Hazel, Amazon reader"Who would ever dream that within days of embarking on a boring, summer vacation tucked up in a log cabin in a forest, the world we 'think' we know would be completely turned upside down. Ashley Knight is a master of her craft. From the first few opening pages, she swiftly and eloquently draws the reader into a magical, yet thoroughly modern world of fairy-tale fantasy. Much to this reader's relief, there are no Sleeping Beauties, down-trodden Cinders and Snow White's hanging around this forest waiting for their prince to come. Knights' protagonist, Lara, is not only beautiful, she is bold, fearless and innately single-minded when it comes to matters of love. This dark, moving tale of once and for all-lifetime passion and other-worldly intrigue definitely has more than a hint of Romeo and Juliet/Wuthering Heights about it. In parts, the author's descriptive narrative is simply stunning, her dry, subtle wit in the most trying of situations often made me laugh out loud. A wonderful read!"– Geraldine Boardman, MSc Forensic Psychology U.K.
