Synopsis: Hallowed Ground

When your destiny has been foretold for generations…how much will you sacrifice to change the future?

Secluded in the deepest fog shrouded region of the Louisiana bayous, Saint Cecilia has served as a haven for unfortunates for centuries. Violently orphaned during the Civil War, Emilie has spent a decade at the plantation, guided and protected by those known only as “the elders”. But as dawn approaches on the morning of her seventeenth birthday, an unimaginable horror unfolds casting doubt on the nature of not only the elders but that of the man she loves as well.

“She believes us ordinary vampires.”
“Then perhaps the elders were wrong and she is not the one.”
“Have no doubt, she is the one. It’s only her loyalty that remains in question.”

Thrown into a world she never knew existed, Emilie will be forced to reconcile the demons of her past life and either accept the mythical nature of those at Saint Cecilia or devote her life to destroying their existence. Her former life a mystery, her future prophesized, the gods conspiring against her…nothing compares to the wrenching heartache betraying the only family she has ever known will cause.

“You are asking me to die for a cause that only you believe in?"
His eyes flamed dark, his fingertips sweeping across her cheek with the gentleness of a southern wind. “You alone have the power to destroy us. Yet, by the same breath, you can save us as well.”
