The Gift of Pathoseia

Elinora’s mother informed her of a mysterious inherited power hours before her death. Monumental details of this ancestral magic became lost in the same fire that took her parents’ lives. With no godparents or cordial familial bonds, Elinora found herself left to her own devices at the age of 17. Five years later, Elinora uses her unique ability to understand and manipulate emotions as a career advantage. When bubbly coworker, Holly, coerces the introverted Elinora into a frivolous party, an undiscovered facet of her personality freely gives itself to the loving community of misfits that Holly calls family. Elinora will find everything she understands of reality tested and warped on a journey toward self-understanding and acceptance. With help from her new kinship to Holly’s pack of gypsies and the undeniable pull she feels toward their declared leader, Alec, she uncovers the power of her assumed weakness. Before accepting an intricate, unconditional bond she never thought possible, Elinora must face the demons that walk the earth. Taken, bound, beaten, and unleashed, she must fight her way back to the home she found within Alec. It's sink or swim as Elinora faces an enemy from a part of reality she thought only existed in movies and books. Will she be overcome by the malice lurking in plain sight or master her gift and seal her fate?
