aurelie artulus

My life is fine, normal, easy.

By day I read the cards I hide from Nanna, walk under the trees with my dog and make jewellery that sings under my fingers.

By night I fight with the nightmares that consume me.

Only to wake and start over again.

But when I’m ripped from sleep to find two dark figures hidden in the shadows of my room, life is not fine.

It gets worse when the torments of my nightmares escape their confines, leaving me no choice but to let them take me.

From all I know, everyone I love.

I’m not what they wanted, but they’re keeping me anyway, and there’s no way home from this icy kingdom built with fire.

So why does it feel right to be here?

In this place that has magik dancing in my veins. Within reach of three men who make my heart skip in ways I’ve never felt before.

As the answers to my questions begin to be uncovered, they bring with it betrayal and heartbreak I don’t know if I can overcome.

And secrets rooted into my soul.
