Sanctum of Carved Bones and Hearts
2025
A paranormal romance of a hunted banshee witch’s fate entangled with a banned hunter, and his pack of alphas.
She knew how to carve bones from the age of six years old. The creatures on the other side whispered it to her when she first needed it. The old language of ancient runes, used in old writings about the Fates and Gods was engraved in her mind. Teaching her through the years how to alter the very threads of someone's life force and carve spells into living bones. She was 25 when she learned how love could carve itself out of your heart in a similar way. Leaving it hollowed out in its wake.
Melinoe Balfour was not weak. She grew up around all kinds of supernatural beings, grew up learning how to heal whatever wound ended up on her porch steps. But even she didn’t know how to fill the space that unrequited love had carved itself out of her heart. Let alone how to battle a disease that was inscribed into her marrow where even she couldn’t reach it.
As murder hits the communities sprinkled out around the mountain, a rogue spirit refuses to enter the veil and poison-dipped claws rekindle a war. The Fates whisper of a new pack entering the territory. A pack of alpha’s with a unique, unbreakable bond. Brimming with power just underneath the surface that is unparalleled, depicted only in ancient scrolls.
The spirits whisper and the forest resonates with archaic tales from all over the ley-lines. Is the unbreakable there to mend what did not heal? Does a carved-out heart that was meant to be broken know how to love? Will she serve or sacrifice their bond?
In the haven with one eye open, one eye closed, let the seam grow to replenish the void of within, as the hunter, be hunted the union will fulfill.
