Would you take the chance to return and fix things?  What would you do, if you found out your life was a lie?  After you were dead?  Arwenna Shalian spent her life in loyal service to a God she was never meant to serve. Tricked by her fellow priests, she betrayed a man she thought she loved by binding a demon to him. One that would send him to the brink of madness.  Can she find a way to forgive herself? And what of Hauk, the God she was Marked to serve? Will He find her and give her the chance to undo what she’s done, or leave her at the mercy of the creatures that torture her soul? Excerpt Bohrs chuckled at the suppressed tears. “I finally have you beaten, don’t I? Good, good. You stay here like a good little girl, now. I have to share this news with the others. When I come back we can discuss what else you can do for me.” He laughed again as her head bowed in defeat. She didn’t notice when he left her. Sobs wracked her body as she finally gave into the despair she’d held back for so long. The sound of footsteps alerted her that she wasn’t alone. Resolutely, she gathered the last shreds of her courage. She would not let them see how close she was to breaking. The light inside her was almost gone now; she could not take much more of this. The effort to raise her head and look at them was too much. “Arwenna...Cousin...can you hear me? I've brought help,” a voice whispered. “Go away, demon spawn. I will not be defeated by the likes of you or your trickery!” Damn them, imitating Lexi's voice. She's dead, too. Most likely in this bone yard somewhere. “Arwenna, please! It's me! You have to wake up….there’s evil here! I've brought help for you!” the voice pleaded. Another voice reached through the fog of pain and grief, one she had not heard since she was very young. “Arwenna Shalian, you have proven yourself most worthy and devout. Those who led you down the wrong path must be punished. The Age of Decay is upon us and I have need of you, my daughter, and any of your companions you can bring forth and gather again. Will you now accept the duties of your True Faith and embrace me once again?” The dull ember within her flared to life, encompassing her with light and love. She recognized the voice that spoke so lovingly to her as a child and taught her how to heal. Anger and resolve brought iron back to her spine. She raised her head to see the face of Hauk standing before her. “Aye, I will.” Darkness overtook her as she felt herself falling.

Enter a World of Magic and Terror
KateMarie Collins has proven herself a master story teller in her exciting novel "Daughter of Hauk." The pages are filled with mythical characters--elves and fairies, ghouls and gryphons; even a half orc. Collins has given each of these characters traits that evoke strong emotions in the reader. Some you will love. Some you will despise. As a reader, you will join Arwenna, elf daughter of Hauk and lead character, as she faces one challenge after another in her effort to find her way in a world of magic and terror. Collin's novel reads like a Greek tragedy as she explores themes of loyalty, friendship, valor, revenge, betrayal and the pain of an impossible choice. A good read.
