I held my breath when I saw the cover for the first time. The talented artist, Tina Moss, has chosen the perfect image. This was my heroine, Valya Svetlova, the way she would appear in the eyes of her unwary American guests once she had brought the group to the Russian village of Vishenky, sprawled on the river Osoka, for a few nights of paranormal occurrences. "Vishenky's Legends and Supernatural Phenomena: Are you brave enough to experience them?"
SOUL OF THE UNBORN
Can
you call yourself human if supernatural forces control your every breath, every emotion, every desire?
Posing
as a folklore-tour guide, Valya Svetlova takes a group of American college
students and their professor, Chris Waller, to her summer home in the Russian
village of Vishenky for a few nights of supernatural phenomena. She works hard
to appear a perfect hostess. Valya doesn’t want anyone to discover she harbors
selfish motives when it comes to one participant, the only person who can
refute a wicked tale
declaring her a stillborn resurrected by a paranormal entity, a puppet in
someone’s horror show destined to perish in the otherworldly dimension.
Within
hours of their arrival, Valya learns that the students, too, foster some dangerous
agendas. Her nascent feelings toward the handsome professor inhibit her ability
to control the supernatural manifestations and her inquisitive guests. When her
unforeseen affection turns Chris into a target of the malevolent forces, Valya
faces the excruciating reality. It’s no longer in her human power to ensure her
guests’ safety. But to keep Chris and the students alive, Valya must brush off
her humanity and become something she fights so desperately to prove she is
not. A soulless monster.
