I have achieved query!
Sarah Campbell only wanted to uncover the truth about her mother's death. But what started out as a simple fact-finding mission turns out to be much more complicated than she expected when she stumbles into a mysterious bookstore and discovers the secret it holds.
Twenty-one years ago, Sarah's mother died and her father fled, tearing his young daughter away from the only place she had ever called home.
Twenty-one years ago, an honors student named Michael Elliott summoned a demon, lost control of the spell, and was taken to Hell to be tortured for the rest of eternity.
Twenty-one years ago, the Council of Wizards who struggle to keep a careful balance between the super and natural world sentenced him to death for the murder of fourteen people, including Sarah's mother.
But there are some who do not think Michael Elliott deserves to be a captive in Hell. There are some who question his guilt. Early on, there were rescue attempts, but Hell would not relinquish its prisoner so easily. When Sarah emerges from the bookstore unharmed, the tiny flame of hope that Michael would be freed flares up once more, igniting a chain of events that could mean death for everyone involved.
For there is one who does not wish Michael to be freed, for it would mean the collapse of a carefully built house of cards--a deception that has endured for two decades. And she will do anything to make sure Sarah does not succeed.
The Wild Hunt roams the forest surrounding Beth-Hill. Kelpies haunt the lake. Elves trap unwary hikers and carry them off to Faerie to await rescue or freedom. And Sarah Campbell must embrace the legacy her father left behind so she will be able to right an old wrong and allow Michael Elliott to have one more second chance.
So, what do you think? Does it suck? I might twiddle with it a bit before I send it out, but please, tell me what you think.
