Charmed Vigilance

By Skylar Dietsche

"The wound burned as I held it under the running water. Fresh blood surfaced, flowing down my hand in different shades of red.My mind wandered at the sight, the flowing blood resembling the fiery sunsets I'd grown used to, the dark flame of red hair I was becoming attached to, and the ardent touch I was growing shackled to."

*If Pan's Labyrinth wandered into Forks, fell down the Inception hole, and landed inside A Discovery of Witches.*

Josilyn is twenty, gifted, and quietly out of step with the world. Emotions bloom into colours, sounds shimmer with meaning. Every sensation sings-deepening both her isolation and her musical prowess.

When her family relocates to the enigmatic town of Ostia, something ancient recognises her. The eerie manor house, the verdant forest, the lake that seems to watch-and a masked stranger who moves like he's been waiting for her specifically.

But Ostia keeps secrets. And the closer Josilyn gets to understanding what she is, the more the line between beauty and danger dissolves.

Charmed Vigilance blends mesmerizing fantasy with an emotional, personal quest, where every revelation brings the characters closer to a reality more dangerous than they could ever imagine. In the town of Ostia, with its mysterious history and eerie presence, Josilyn is drawn into a journey that tests her courage and unearths secrets older than she could dream.

Dive into a world where beauty, danger, dreams, and truth collide in this riveting tale of courage and self-discovery, where the line between reality and illusion blurs and nothing is as it seems.
