The Christina Lafage Chronicles
Follow 18th Century sorceress, Christina Lafage down the left-handed path and beyond as she sells her soul for the fierce power of the Black Arts. Enter Christina’s world and join her adventures in spell casting and dark deeds.
Widdershins introduces a strong female character into the horror genre-Christina Lafage, an eighteenth century French girl who sells her soul for the fierce power of the black arts. Christina's world is filled with spell casting, black magic, distant lands and intense power. The story unfolds with Christina's introduction into the black arts by a mysterious benefactor that she meets in a wooded grove. This benefactor, Madame Duchamp, takes Christina under her wing and teaches her to use the powers of the occult and bend the laws of nature to her will as they provide spells and services for the wealthy aristocrats of Paris. At first she struggles with her newly acquired power and with her own feelings of doubt and apprehension until a grave situation forces her to conquer fear and doubt. Christina's power continues to grow and explodes into an electrifying series of events that lead her to Egypt where her power is put to the ultimate test.
Solitary Fire continues to follow Christina Lafage along the left handed path to Vienna where wealthy nobleman, Paul Mrzak promises her and Madame Duchamp unimaginable riches and a string of affluent clients at his castle in Hungary. Paul’s castle offers much intrigue and deception that feeds Christina’s own suspicions about Paul’s true motive behind his generous invitation. Christina’s power continues to blossom and fascinate the nobles of Paul’s court, who flock to her for all manners of occult services. But it is Paul’s own request and the promise of a substantial fortune that lead Christina deeper into the black arts where strange visions and feelings of destiny haunt her dreams. Meanwhile, Paul’s plan begins to unravel, bringing sinister secrets to light, however it is not only Paul harboring secrets as Christina confronts her master, Lucien, about her intensifying visions. Can the intimacy that she and Lucien have come to share prepare Christina for the whole shocking truth?
