About the author
April M. Reign
81 books93 followersApril M. Reign was born and raised in Southern California by her happily married parents. She is the oldest of three daughters and considers both of her sisters to be her best friends.
Growing up, she was involved in many sports: softball, surfing, tennis, and Kenpo karate. Many weekends at the beach with her family included her father packing up the long boards and teaching all three daughters how to ride a wave. The activity that stands out the most for her is the thirteen years that she spent studying karate with her family. The family’s karate days remain as some of her fondest memories.
Sports weren’t the only activities that she enjoyed. She played the accordion for twelve years and even played for Jerry Lewis kids fundraisers. During those years, she learned how to read and write music.
Besides writing music, during her high school years, she also discovered her passion for writing words. At fifteen, she began writing poetry. By the time she reached the age of twenty, she was writing short stories, with no other intention than to get the stories from her mind to paper.
At twenty-one years old, she married and shortly after, two handsome sons graced her life. When her marriage ended, she faced the long, difficult path of raising her two boys into strong, well-mannered young men. She took on the task with fervor.
In order to support her children, she worked as a litigation analyst for ten years at a large company and began to pursue a career in law. After long hours in college and even more hours at the law library, while still raising her children alone, she realized that practicing law was not the dream that she wanted to live. She spent the next eleven years as a U.S. Customs Broker, working directly with the FDA and FWS, clearing international shipments into the country.
While she worked full time and raised two adolescent boys, she also decided to follow her dream to write a book. A year later, Enticing the Moon was published. Since then, she has written six more novels and several short stories, and has entered many writing contests, winning first place on several occasions.
As an indie author, April M. Reign writes and publishes her own books. With the increase in her book sales, she was able to give up her job in the corporate world and pursue her dream of writing stories which she hopes capture the attention and intrigue of her readers.
Readers can find April M. Reign’s eBooks on Amazon.com, BarnesandNoble.com, and more online retailers. The books are also available in print at Lulu.com.

I am such a geek of fantasy fiction!
I was hooked as soon as I read the first book in this series. I truly enjoyed the struggle between love, hate and family conflict throughout. I am ashamed to say that I do not read as much as I should. Through getting the first book free, you had me hooked and I had to read the whole series. I am glad I took the chance. If I had to give a down side, I had to take a deep breath and fight the worried thoughts of what direction the last book was going to go and would I be able to go with you on the journey. There were a few times I thought the story was about over or there was no where else to go and I found myself wanting more. Yep, that is pretty good in my book. Thank you for an enjoyable read. By the way, I read the last half of the last book during a major storm that knocked out our towns electricity. So happy I had it downloaded on my Kindle Fire and that it was charged. What great atmosphere for the end.

A curse that couldn't be broken!
The Gods placed a curse t o doom mankind. I found this story fascinating and full of surprises suspense. A father love took him on a journey to save t h e faith of his kids. A mother's love that made her into a monster.
