It all started with a dream... she dreamt of him, and he, of her. Martinka has known him, in her mind, always, and yet has no idea if this man she calls 'Tommy' even exists. Tommy, an old and powerful vampire, and heir to the throne of the Vampire Kingdom, has longed and searched for her for nearly a thousand years. He has foreseen her in his dreams, his visions, and believed his 'Queen' would one day exist. The wait is over... their story begins in a clearing where they see each other for the first time. Tommy's evil rival, Derek, also an old vampire, takes notice and sees the look in their eyes. He knows he needs to put an end to what has not yet begun. King Josef, Martinka's uncle, needs to protect the connection they share. He vows to himself that all will unfold once the true King and Queen take over his reign. As Martinka and Tommy are drawn together, Derek manages to take her away. Martinka promises to return, but the evil witch, Demonica, who abducted Martinka when she was just a child, tricks them all so she can pull off the body switch of the century and become Queen. Neither Demonica, nor Martinka's parents, are aware of the magical serpent Martinka has, or that she is mystically linked with this 'pet' she calls Jinx. Jinx possess extraordinary powers, as does Martinka, and together, they perform feats of magic unlike anything any other supernatural being has ever bared witness to. Meanwhile, Tommy spirals into an illusory dark madness, battling between reality and delusion. He meets Lorenzo, whom he refers to as his savior; the one who was sent to help him end his existence. Martinka reappears, Tommy rejects her, someone dies, and Martinka magically vanishes. Moments later, the dead reawakens... So, as their story began in a clearing, it ends in another clearing... for now. This magical, action-packed, adventurous, love story is complex, yet insightfully clear in its message. Sharing their journey will challenge you emotionally; you will be exposed to five convoluted points of view as you head-hop between characters that reveal their loyalty, respect, power, deceit, despair, delusion, lust, longing, and love. Travel with them to six different lands filled with intrigue and angst. And yet, this is just the beginning...
