From A Youth A Fountain Did Flow
The Fountain of Youth was never a place. It was a girl.
Seventeen-year-old Scarlet Singer has always believed her birthday is cursed.
Every year, something terrible happens.
On her seventeenth, a pizza delivery guy with black eyes murders her cat, kills her mother, and comes for Scarlet next.
She survives only because two strangers intervene and drag her into a world she was never supposed to know existed. A world of witches, hidden portals, ancient magic, body-snatching demons, and a secret organization called the Circle that has spent centuries keeping all of it hidden from humanity.
There is only one problem.
The demons followed Scarlet.
And they aren't trying to kill her.
They want the Fountain.
Scarlet soon discovers that the legendary Fountain of Youth was never a magical spring waiting to be found. It has always been a girl with an eternal soul, born again and again throughout history.
This time, that girl is Scarlet.
Her blood can heal wounds that should be fatal. Her body refuses to break the way it should. Memories from lives she never knew she lived are beginning to return, including the life of another Fountain hunted more than a century ago.
And somewhere in those memories may be the reason Dagon, one of the most dangerous beings the Circle has ever faced, has been searching for her across lifetimes.
Suddenly Scarlet's strange childhood makes terrifying sense. The accidents. The attacks. The people she's lost. Someone has been hunting her for years, and the closer she gets to the truth, the more dangerous her blood becomes to everyone around her.
But Scarlet isn't facing the darkness alone.
Marcus, a telepath whose connection to her runs deeper than either of them understands, is determined to protect her. Zig, an infuriatingly charming fighter who can disrupt magic itself, makes her laugh when she thought she had forgotten how.
And both seem connected to a story Scarlet has already lived before.
As demons close in and the Circle begins revealing secrets of its own, Scarlet must uncover what the Fountain truly is, why her soul keeps returning, and what will happen if the creature hunting her finally succeeds in making her his perfect vessel.
Because immortality has never been a gift.
It has always been something people are willing to kill for.
From A Youth A Fountain Did Flow is the award-winning first book in the Fountain of Youth trilogy, a dark supernatural fantasy of reincarnation, forbidden magic, demons, hidden histories, found family, blood-soaked mythology, and a romance that grows more dangerous as the truth unfolds.
