Shanna And The Raven

Ten-year-old Shanna has an uneasy feeling about a stranger her seven-year-old brother Rye met on way home from school. Is she just a silly chicken or is this what Momma calls intuition? Shanna and Rye are also disturbed by an angry presence in the shadows under some pine trees and by a mysterious raven. Their mother shows them how to use the magic of Imbolc to protect themselves and stand up for their beliefs. This is the first book in the Children's Wheel of the Year series for earth-centered, Pagan and Wiccan families. It is also a useful book for anyone teaching children about multicultural tolerance and about how to use intuition rather than prejudice to judge potentially dangerous situations.

Layla Hawthorne has spent most of her human existence hovering on the outskirts of the mortal and spiritual worlds. Things and entities only she could see were always explained away as a vivid imagination. Layla was ridiculed and isolated away in asylums to “cure” her and the instability gave way to blocking the connection to her family that never truly healed even after their untimely deaths. Layla always had a haunted feeling that gnawed at her for decades. A bundle of whispers, a fleeting shadow in the trees, little lights only she could see bouncing through flowers and a dream. One filled with ancient people in a village, a massive bonfire and him. A horned god with his hand held out to her, waiting for Layla to take it. The dream of him, his face obscured but Layla knew him down to her soul. A sudden death and a blessing of good fortune from a stranger has taken her out of the loud and busy city life into the quiet depths of an ancient forest and a house that she had always dreamed of having all her own. The moment her feet touched the forest floor, she knew it was no ordinary place. Creatures that were myths and what she saw as a child revealed themselves as Layla realized she was never crazy and she was finally home. One fateful evening brings her recurring dream crashing into her reality and the horned god himself. Cernunnos. A Celt God who brought with him the answers Layla sought for decades on where she came from and who she was meant to be. Their passion reignited has brought love back into Layla’s life and given her the chance to be everything she ever wanted. With those revelations comes the danger from an ancient enemy, Arawn the God of War who would do everything in his power to destroy them. He succeeded once before and will do anything to destroy them once and for all. As Layla struggles to control her once dormant powers and allow Cernunnos into her heart, the fates give them one final chance to save the world or risk it being destroyed by Arawn for all of eternity. Can they unite as one and bring down the most powerful war god in existence or are they doomed to be torn apart forever?

Lacey never thought working at Slice by Slice would be anything more than a stepping stone on the road out of town.

Neither are what they seem, but both change her irrevocably. Publisher's Note: This book contains subject matter that may not be suitable for readers under the age of 18.
