Hayle Coven Destinies

I’m an international, multiple award-winning author with a passion for the voices in my head. As a singer, songwriter, independent filmmaker and improv teacher and performer, my life has always been about creating and sharing what I create with others. Now that my dream to write for a living is a reality, with over a hundred titles in happy publication and no end in sight, I live in beautiful Prince Edward Island, Canada, with my giant cats, pug overlord and overlady and my Gypsy Vanner gelding, Fynn. SYDLYNN HAYLE IS BACK in an all-new series! Enters the Phoenix A burst of fire blazed in the corner of my eye, jerking me around toward the back door. I barely remembered moving, feet flying over the hardwood, hands slamming against the glass and throwing it open, hurtling out into the dew-wet grass. Fire climbed from a curled up ball of humanity, near the edge of the hedge row leading to the park on the other side of our property. I staggered to a halt, power reflexively tightening around me, ready to attack, when the figure unbent, half sitting, half lying on the ground, her face turned up toward me. “RUN!” Her scream pierced me to my soul, froze my magic in place before it could harm her. Flames burned her, devoured her, dark hair and eyes on fire, but she managed to stagger to her feet, eyes pure gold as she gestured toward me. “Sydlynn Hayle, if you love your family, run and don’t look back!” Things have never been better for Sydlynn Hayle and her family, living out their lives in Wilding Springs, Pennsylvania. Her battles and struggles have come to a halt, her two young children happy and well-adjusted, marriage to her beloved Quaid all she could ever ask for. But when a woman of flame appears to her and warns her of impending danger, Syd understands at last the quiet she’s enjoyed has all been a smoke screen, hiding the truth. Her old enemies have returned to destroy her and everything her family has fought for, with repercussions that could threaten the very Universe. So much for happily ever after.

Chapter 251: The Last Battle

He's falling again and I can't stop him. I reach for him with the desperation of one who will not survive without him. The earth swallows his tall, beautiful form, devouring his strawberry blond waves, his hazel eyes flecked with green, until only one hand reaches upward for me, the earth eating him alive.

I scream his name, dive for him. It takes forever to hit the ground. It vibrates under me, the tiny seedling bursting from the dark loam that smells of fabric softener and spring. I have to leap away as the oak tree explodes from that small, green bit of life, erupting as though it had been waiting for this moment. It looms over me, vast and powerful, before it turns to steel.

My hands grasp for the metal tree, tears soaking the now hard ground, but he's gone and only this monolith of cold remains. But no, it's hot, heating up under my desperate grasp, burning me as I cry out and fall away.

Falling, into darkness.
