On Borrowed Time~
She’s been on the run before
Most of her life
By herself
From her past
From her abusers
It had become a way of life
It was time for her to face her future
One that would hold the key to her release
From a Hell she’s endured for most of her life
Transformation was her only option
One that would finally set her free
But not without a price
And she had the goddess to guide her
Along with a few supernatural creatures
Time was running out
She had a few more souls to save
But not without risking her own
For she wanted to return home
A place that was now just a vision
She had to unleash her power once again
But could she face the dark magic
That led to her demise not so long ago?
She had to decide and quickly
For she was running on borrowed time

All of these novels are paranormal with a mix of historical fiction, woven with urban legends. Beloved Sacrifice is a Supernatural Thriller for Young Adults to Adults.
