True Fate Blur & Book Cover

Strange things have always happened to Nia, and until now she’s written them off as flukes. At nineteen she has seen her fair share of odd occurrences and just feels lucky.

When Nia unknowingly spoke a prophecy on her eighteenth birthday she freaked out her best friend, Rhea. Nia realizes she needs to find some answers. Rhea makes her promise to go and see her Great Aunt Amarie, but she isn’t sure if her crazy aunt could really help.

Nia finds herself unexpectedly drawn to a stranger and begins dreaming of people who seem to know everything about her.

They offer little in the way of information as to how and why. It all feels too real but Nia is unsure, at least until she wakes up with a trinket from the encounter.

When dreams and reality collide Nia will have to face dangers she never knew existed. Ready or not she will have to discover her True Fate.

True Fate Excerpts

True Fate Excerpt 1:

The house was dark from the outside and Nia wondered where they were headed and if there was even anyone inside yet. Eric opened the door and the house was dark inside too, except for the yellowish light coming from under the doorway they were heading towards. The moonlight shone in the windows showing the covered furniture. Nia guessed this safe house hadn’t been used in a while.

Eric opened the door then reached for Nia's hand, "Don't freak out, it’ll be okay, I promise.", he said squeezing her hand and sending as much calm her way as he could. Nia had no idea what was going on and why after avoiding her questions this was what he had said to her. When he opened the door the first thing she noticed was bloody rags in a waste basket. The scent of iron and antiseptic made Nia’s stomach roll and she gagged. Rhea's breath caught when she noticed the blood too and she shakily lowered herself into a chair holding her injured arm. She turned to Nia with a worried look in her eyes.

Time stood still for Nia as she saw his hand first, the unmistakable markings were a dead giveaway. ‘It can’t be.’ The scent of the blood clung to her senses making her stomach clench as Avery stepped out of the way giving her a clear shot to her worst nightmare. Nia's chest tightened and she felt like she would hurl, her focus went hazy, "No.", she whispered. She took a shaky step closer and her legs buckled beneath her. Eric reached for her just as her world gratefully faded to black.

True Fate Excerpt 2:

The night before Nia's eighteenth birthday the girls had a sleepover and that's when their worries really began. At midnight Rhea was awakened by a shaking Nia, she was clearly convulsing and twitching. Rhea tried desperately to wake her but got no response. Violent shudders racked Nia's body hard as her eyes rolled in the back of her head. Rhea touched her again trying a bit more forcefully to wake her up and recoiled at the fiery temperature of her skin.

She tried to snap her out of it but she wouldn't open her eyes. She began to really panic as the seizure made its rapid progression. She would have taken her to the hospital if she didn't already know that Nia was somehow different. It's a good thing she didn't too. Her body calmed and Rhea froze as Nia sat up eerily slow and opened her eyes turning slowly towards her. Where there was once hazel eyes with flecks of green they glowed a molten honey, like lava. She wore a vacant expression when she spoke, eyes still glowing bright.

"A glamour is broken, a life to trade,

History shall be remade.

To right the wrong and switch the face.

Replace the toil with elegant grace.

The path that's broken will soon be repaved,

The rightful one, no longer enslaved.

The time is now and fate has seen.

Now there will be no in-between.

Do not fear, he will come for you.

Your destiny has been made new."
