About the BookWhat fate awaits a girl who hears monsters at night… Sixteen-year-old Jaclyn looks up to her father. An honest man who once fought for the king, he now teaches Jaclyn how to use her wits—and her sword. But he has a secret. And his secret may have a connection to the one thing Jaclyn is hiding from him. Upon hearing “monsters” are terrorizing the small villages around Black Mountain, Jaclyn’s father and his friends head out to hunt them … but they don’t return. About the AuthorInternational Bestselling/Award Winning Author Mary Ting/M. Clarke resides in Southern California with her husband and two children. She enjoys oil painting and making jewelry. Writing her first novel, Crossroads Saga, happened by chance. It was a way to grieve the death of her beloved grandmother, and inspired by a dream she once had as a young girl. When she started reading new adult novels, she fell in love with the genre. It was the reason she had to write one-Something Great. She also toured with Magic Johnson Foundation to promote literacy and her children’s chapter book-No Bullies Allowed. TeaserMother crinkled her nose. “Don’t fret. You’re of marriageable age now. We must think of finding you a husband or your time will pass. I’m only thinking of your future, Jaclyn. I want to see you settled soon. Your father and I are not getting younger.” “Getting married and bearing children is not for me. There’s much work to be done.” I slipped my arms around her waist and pressed my head to her back. I inhaled deeply as warmth enveloped me and her love replaced the fright from my nightmares. Safe. I am safe. No monsters. “Our life is good here. Why would I want to fix what is not broken?” “’Tis what we do. People will talk.” “Let them.” I scowled, anger boiling through my veins. I tended to not raise my voice, so I softened my tone out of respect. “I will not be handed to a suitor I do not love.” Mother patted my arm. “My child, you have much to learn. Love comes later. I did not love your father at first.” “I will not follow other people’s ways.” Pouting, I shuffled my feet on the dirt. She released a deep sigh. “Oh, Jaclyn. Your time will come. Everyone has a destiny. Everyone has a story to tell. Some more than others. We shall see what lies ahead for you. Fate will lead you to the path you are meant to take.” I wished I had eyes for the future. I wanted to know a demon would not seize my soul, and I wanted to see a path without the nighttime cries. They must be monsters. I’d never heard a human throat make such tortured sounds. What fate awaits a girl who hears monsters at night? Illness swept through my stomach. A shudder racked me, beginning in my gut, forewarning me. Purchase the book HERE.
