An Angel In The Undergrowth: The Rebirth

BOOK 1 OF 7
An Angel in the Undergrowth: The Rebirth is set in two conflicting realms, a Dark Realm and a Light Realm. Lucia Puccini is born a golden Angel and is part mortal and part mythical. Legend says Lucia’s fate is that she will die, but her mother’s beliefs differ and she gives her daughter to the undergrowth where she will be safe. Sixteen years later, Lucia is rebirthed and faces many challenges in adjusting to her new life. Chello Barleti is also mortal and mythical and is a guardian of the Dark Realms. His ancestors and family are trapped by a curse and to release the curse he must become a gothic knight. Chello lives in a 17th Century church ruin sanctuary where his ancestors and living family visit. Otto, an ogre and Chello’s companion helps with the rebirthings and Chello’s tasks. Mythicals living in the Dark Realm are given the opportunity to choose to live as a mortal on the Light side or remain as a mythical on the Dark side. If they stay there are rules and consequences if the rules are broken.
