Haunted Legacies

is the story of a lonely broken girl locked in an institution with creatures because she’s a monster too, at least that’s what she believes because of the sins of her past. 


In Forest Haven she finds the loves of her life, but their futures are already determined and not because they’re incarcerated. Propelled by the mastery program, it doesn’t seem like there’s any chance for freedom from becoming the nightmares that hunt down the worst monsters. 

Val's fate was already decided. Ever since that fall night five years ago, nothing matters. At least that's what she believes until she is transferred to a different unit at Forest Haven. A unit filled with monsters. Death should be simply surrounded by creatures, but that's when things get complicated and Val isn't so sure that her death is the only answer.

She meets Dev, who wants freedom too and cares about her despite her evil actions. Maybe it's because he's a demon, or perhaps it's because he's her twin flame. Val doesn't have powers like the others. The only common link is that she is a killer, too. A different kind of monster. 

The twins, Gideon and Ren, watch every move she makes, but she doesn't know if it's because they want to befriend her or get rid of her. The secrets Dev keeps make her uncertain if she can still trust him, and her new psychic friend Bela assures her that Dev only does things to benefit himself.

Val's plan for death or escape seems impossible and forces her to make choices that will destroy any chance of redemption.

Val is a broken woman haunted by the evil of her past. She can't escape the ominous shadow that clings to her or the monsters, both paranormal and human, that threaten to consume her. Stuck between her loyalties to them and her own inner demons, Val must make choices that seem impossible.

No longer just empty - Val is hollow, a shell of her former self. Ten years ago, she left Forest Haven and the love and acceptance she finally found there. Pain and memories are her only companions. Despite Madoc’s attempts to heal her wounded soul, he can’t reach her.

Shattered by the loss of Val, he’s given up and given in to what he hates the most. Dev struggles to get from night to night. Now a full-time enforcer, he dreams of death. Val’s death and then his own.

Bela and the twins haven't given up on finding their Sun. As their powers grow, they realize the only way to reach her is through Dev. They secretly ally themselves with him, biding their time until they can claim the freedom they left behind years ago.

Can they reclaim what they have lost and still have a future?
