The Heart's Lost Souls, Part One: The Binding

Death was supposed to be freeing, but not to Shannon. It was painful, and only brought the creatures in her dreams out to her reality. Her world now was made up of what normal people would call monsters, but Shannon Kreep wasn't normal. The world around her was changing. Witches, warlocks, gods, alien kings and queens from other planets and other galaxies were now part of her life. And many factions wanted her truly dead. On top of that, the strangest and scariest thing was thatseven men claimed to be her mate—seven alien men. Now she was supposedly some kind of queen, too.
