‘Are you doing what you want to do…or are you simply another piece of a darkened puzzle? Your own actions predetermined by powers higher than you?’ One novella. Six short stories. Darkened Soul: Pieces of a Darkened Puzzle explores these questions as the futuristic dystopian world introduced in Darkened Soul presents itself in this new collection of tales. In the novella, “Pieces of a Darkened Puzzle,” the young witches Aidan and Serena Worthhill live a life in hiding in the city-state of California. However when the teens dive into the secrets of their past, they unearth revelations about their family. Not only does the truth potentially aim the evil Nosferatu at them, but there are far-reaching consequences that lead to tragedy. The world above and the world below unfold in the short stories that follow. In “She Walks in Shadows,” Jonathan and Ursula, the Nosferatu from Darkened Soul, engage in a game of one-upmanship that take a deadly turn when they encounter the ancient Titania. In “One or the Other,” Angela Hillworth’s desire to be a normal mother clashes with her witch heritage as witches are hunted, forcing her to make a heartbreaking decision. Then in “Where Were You When…,” a reporter’s need for a scoop results in her discovering an underworld…and the people who guard it… Come into a world where fantasy, sci-fi, and horror meet. A world where the question arise…who pulls the strings: Nosferatu, human, witch…or someone else. As above…so it is below…
