Arcane Fate
(2026)(The first book in the Compulsions of the Damned series)
A novel by Trista Ricketts
One touch. That's all it takes to change your life for better or worse. For those under the Compulsion of the Caretaker, life is lonely and fraught with misery.
Meet Wendy Lace, the sassy bartender who has lived her whole life thinking there was something wrong with her. She doesn't feel things the way others do, in fact she doesn't feel much at all. She can't stand to be touched and thinks she's alone in a world of normal people. Always armed and finding her way, she's just making it through another shift when a dark, brooding stranger turns out to have more in common with her than she expected.
Damien – Not the Antichrist – Richards is resigned to the fact that he is destined to die young and alone. But he's going to get as much out of his life and music as he can before he goes. A last-minute booking for his band at a new venue brings him face to face with destiny and a glimpse at what things could truly be.
That is, if the demon and the serial killer stalking them all would give them a break.
Genre: Paranormal Romance
