He knew.
Alex’s legs shuddered as I let go of his hand and he collapsed onto the floor. Soft keening noises rose from his mouth. He bent his neck forward and covered his head with his arms. All in an attempt to block out what he had just learned.
I was the one in the prophecy; the Lamaq. I was the one who would bring down the Council.

About Monique Singleton
Monique Singleton writes compelling stories that mix fantasy with realistic psychological suspense and unique insights into the minds of the main characters.
As the daughter of a British soldier and his Dutch wife, Monique was born in an English military hospital in Germany. As the family toured the world, she was exposed to many different cultures. Finally settling in the Netherlands, she pursued a career in art and later in ICT.
About six years ago, Monique started to put the scenes running around in her head down on paper. Scenes led to a story, the story to a book, and the first book to a series.
In addition to writing, Monique still holds down a full-time job as a business consultant. She lives in a beautiful old farmhouse in the south of Holland with two sloppy monster dogs, some horses, and a cat.
The cat is the boss.
