Named after the mother of Perseus, the similarities end there. Her cousins fear her, afraid of her anger from years past that could harm or kill them. Her hair and eyes are an unnatural earthy yellow. Calling her irises dark citrine is generous and doesn’t make it easier for people to look into them.
Her rather extended family are all practitioners of magic. Many miles of the forested lands of northern Wisconsin are their abode. With the family’s use of magic, they don’t fit well in the mundane world of the late 1970s. Denae hasn’t even bothered with town for years, except as necessity dictates. The forest is her home.
When she survives a bear attack at age 16, the nightmares start. After Denae saves the life of a mundane girl she barely knows from town, she may finally have a friend in town. And when she notices something strange about her little brother’s new girlfriend, her entire family could be in jeopardy.
Denae Dassow — Book 2
Anticipated Availability — July-Aug 2024
When Denae goes on a camping vacation with her friends Leah and Jessica to Michigan's Upper Peninsula, she discovers that there are guardian animals in the forests and one who controls them. When she returns home, she begins to find the guardian animals in the family forests and that they will answer her call. The problem is that she needs more of these guardians for her lands, which extend well past the properties her family owns. Maybe Olivia was right when she called her the Queen Nymph of the Forest.
A much bigger problem is that there are other practitioners of magic who want her and her guardian animals dead.
