Overview
Vashti Chamberlin is a 20 year old college student who wishes for nothing more than a quiet, unexciting, very routine life. Since she was a child Vashti has been plagued by the supernatural. For as long as she can remember she has seen what others do not, experienced the unexplainable and sometimes horrific manifestations; the only thing she truly desires is for it all to go away. For nearly five years her life has been quiet and she truly believed that maybe, just maybe, the universe was going to cut her a break and free her from this curse. Alas, the universe is not so kind. Vashti starts being haunted by visions of what she can only describe as a past life. Once the visions begin, there is no turning them off. She learns she has a power, a power passed down through generations, a power so great that none who have carried it before her have ever learned how to use it. The previous carriers of this gift, were either killed by it or died defending it, but none let it fall into evil's hands. Vashti also learns there isn't just this new power to defend, she is on a deadline to do so. If she isn't able to take full control of the power it will kill her by her 21st birthday, and more importantly the evil demons tracking her will win. But something else Vashti doesn't want to lose along with her life and relative peace of the universe, is this curious new love she has found on her journey. A love so pure it has spanned centuries. This book is for people who enjoy a roller coaster ride of past lives, alternate dimensions, demon attacks, and ass kicking weaponry. It is a first person narrative that will keep readers wanting to turn the pages to see more of the adventure, betrayal, love, and personal growth.

About the author
Valerie Drake was born and raised in Central KY, calling Madison County her home for nearly all of her life. Valerie has one amazing daughter, Alaina 'Lainey' who is truly the love of her existence. If Val had her way she would spend every weekend playing guitar and singing with her wonderfully awesome Dad (Danny), and her ridiculously talented, and hilarious younger brother (Jason). Valerie has an incredible sense of humor, and a tendency to laugh way too loud in places where laughing loud isn't necessarily appropriate. As long as she can remember Valerie has been drawn to the unexplained and paranormal side of life. She moonlights as a psychic doing readings once a month at the Mystical and Paranormal fair in Lexington, Kentucky. Valerie enjoys movies (mostly comedies, nothing sad, or scary) live theatre, and musicals. Her favorite place on the planet besides Disney World is the Pioneer Playhouse in Danville, KY.
