The Awakening: Anna, The Witch Story (Book1 Book 202004)

Denial, is a powerful expression that helps us sleep at night. Denial of our troubles, our circumstances and our fears. Our world only extends to what we can perceive, its ominous, dark mysteries are beyond our comprehension and beyond what our sanity can handle. They have no power over us, or so we believe. In the security of her tiny village a young lady, Anna bides her time, awaiting the return of a father and brother from the fabled crusades to the holy lands. She stares across the fields making her promiscuous getaways, seeking pleasure at the hands of a shepherd and listens to the tales of old women, told in the eerie light of the hearth while a kettle boils over. Tales of men coming back from the dead, riches to be won in the east and Witches dancing to the devil’s tune in dark Woods, wielding powers so dark that crossing their paths would bring any person to ruin. It was fascinating, creatures of our world but so far from the laws of our own. Did they exist? Would she dare to say, she wished to find out for herself? Could it really be that dangerous? But stories die with time, and her questions- buried and forgotten within the folds of life’s pages. The news was on everyone’s lips, the armies and bands following the crusades have returned- basking in riches and coin. Her family would be reunited soon. Life would return to normal, she thought. Life would be better than ever before. She would soon be a lady with means living out her life in comfort. Well, she could be forgiven. She hadn’t counted on what fate had in store for her. Her world was about to change…
