The Banshee's Whisper (Midnight Phantom)

By Ivory Rosewood

The Banshee's Whisper initially takes place in 1769 and is the askew making of the Banshee, before the actual well known legend. This is when Andra McCumhail (the Banshee's created mortal name) is a beautiful woman of simplicity. Her husband accidentally kills their son Nathaniel while punishing him for not adhering to his wishes of studying his business and nothing more. She sacrifices him and herself to roam the world protecting children from her enemies: abusing parents. This is a PRE-Banshee legend whereas the Banshee is forged with an altruistic purpose: fighting for abused children. This mission melds with unforeseen malevolence: The Banshee kidnaps children to save them from their abusing parents, but becomes content in holding them against their will for eternity.The story then fast-forwards to "today", where our main character, Bobby Henderson, becomes one of these retrieved children. Once Bobby realizes his "rescuer" has killed his parents and intends on keeping him in her dimension forever, he and two victims, Franz and Steve, escape from the Banshee's dimension, but not without the angry Banshee hot on their tale! They go to Bobby's schoolteacher, Lana Wang, who secretly is a very apt Wiccan, for help. Lana sets a trap for the Banshee to attempt to break the curse of the Banshee and save Andra McCumhail. An exciting magical battle occurs whereas the Banshee overcomes the Wiccan, but the children win the battle saving the day because the Banshee is only allotted one hour in this world or she will turn back to her natural aged self (300 years old!). The Banshee Whisper contains six-foot snakes, a battling Wiccan schoolteacher, dimensional travel, adventure, camaraderie, a lot of magical events and comedy.There are presently three finished parts of the Midnight Phantom series: Part I - The Banshee's Whisper Part II - The Dragon FlutePart III - Lilith Anacrusis and the Vampire Ruby Part IV - Jake and the Knothole (is in the making)The entire series combines mythological, old and modern magic. It is an imaginative, compelling, and sometimes funny fantasy of good and evil.
