In the quiet town of Ravenscroft, shrouded in mist and legends, an ancient evil stirs. When a group of friends stumbles upon an ominous artifact during a weekend getaway, they unknowingly unleash malevolent forces that plunge them into a nightmarish adventure. As the shadows deepen and whispers become chilling echoes, they must confront their deepest fears to survive the horrors that lurk in the darkness.

Chapter 1 The onmious artefact

The sun dipped below the horizon, casting long shadows over the decaying town of Ravenscroft. Five friends-Elena, Alex, Marcus, Sarah, and Jake-decided to embark on a weekend adventure to escape the monotony of their lives. Drawn by stories of an abandoned mansion on the outskirts, they sought a thrill that would soon escalate into a nightmarish ordeal.

The mansion, cloaked in mist and whispered legends, loomed ominously against the fading twilight. Its crumbling façade hinted at a history steeped in secrets. Excitement mingled with trepidation as the friends pushed open the creaking doors, revealing a foyer frozen in time.

In the heart of the mansion, they stumbled upon a chamber adorned with ancient symbols and adorned with flickering candlelight. In the center lay an artifact, a grotesque idol that seemed to pulse with a malevolent energy. Unbeknownst to them, it was a relic of the Eldritch Cult-a group that had vanished into the annals of Ravenscroft's dark history.

As they gathered around the artifact, an uneasy silence enveloped the room. Its surface seemed to writhe with unseen tendrils, and the air grew thick with a palpable tension. Without uttering a word, the friends exchanged uneasy glances, a shared acknowledgment that they had stepped into something far beyond their understanding.

Little did they realize that their decision to explore the mansion and unearth the Eldritch artifact had set in motion a chain of events that would awaken an ancient evil. Whispers, too faint to be heard consciously, echoed through the mansion, insinuating themselves into the recesses of the friends' minds.

The artifact pulsed, resonating with the shadows that clung to the mansion's walls. As night fell, the friends, drawn by an unseen force, became unwitting conduits for the malevolence that lay dormant for centuries. The atmosphere thickened with an eerie silence, broken only by the distant howl of a forsaken wind.

Unbeknownst to the friends, their weekend getaway had transformed into a dance with shadows, and the mansion, once a mere backdrop for adventure, now cradled a darkness that hungered for their very souls. As the clock ticked toward midnight, the first whispers of an ancient malevolence slithered through the corridors, setting the stage for the horror that awaited them in the heart of Ravenscroft.

COALESCENCE OF THE FIVE SERIES BOOK ONE: THE 5-TIME REJECTED GAMMA & THE LYCAN KING BOOK TWO: THE ROGUES WHO WENT ROGUE BOOK THREE: THE INDOMITABLE HUNTRESS & THE HARDENED DUKE *** BOOK ONE: After being rejected by 5 mates, Gamma Lucianne pleaded with the Moon Goddess to spare her from any further mate-bonds. To her dismay, she is being bonded for the sixth time. What’s worse is that her sixth-chance mate is the most powerful creature ruling over all werewolves and Lycans - the Lycan King himself. She is certain, dead certain, that a rejection would come sooner or later, though she hopes for it to be sooner. King Alexandar was ecstatic to meet his bonded mate, and couldn’t thank their Goddess enough for gifting him someone so perfect. However, he soon realizes that this gift is reluctant to accept him, and more than willing to sever their bond. He tries to connect with her but she seems so far away. He is desperate to get intimate with her but she seems reluctant to open up to him. He tries to tell her that he is willing to commit to her for the rest of his life but she doesn’t seem to believe him. He is pleading for a chance: a chance to get to know her; a chance to show her that he’s different; and a chance to love her. But when not-so-subtle crushes, jealous suitors, self-entitled Queen-wannabes, an old flame, a silent protector and a past wedding engagement threaten to jeopardize their relationship, will Lucianne and Xandar still choose to be together? Is their love strong enough to overcome everything and everyone? Or will Lucianne resort to enduring a sixth rejection from the one person she thought she could entrust her heart with?
