Forgotten Beast

Andara #3

by C.M. Rayne, Adam Scythe (Illustrator)

There is a town called Losthan, where invisible demons guide every resident. It's a town of inequality, oppression and violence—a town that stands alone.

Regina White has only heard about Losthan in history class. But the other world, Andara, is open to all, so in the middle of one night, Regina wakes to a child of Losthan staring right into her face.

The boy is strange not only on the inside, but on the outside as well. Despite having no memories, he swears he knows Regina and wants to stay by her side, but his violent outbursts never let Regina forget he is a child of Losthan.

When the boy leaves for his journey through Andara, Regina starts to investigate his past, and with every piece of information she finds, she grows more afraid.

Regina has to decide who to trust: her fear or a child of Losthan, heeding the warning that lives depend on her choice.

About the author

C.M. Rayne started writing books in 2013 and hasn't stopped since. Taking her own experiences with mental health, she builds new worlds with unusual characters, since she has a fondness for the strange. She began with writing middle-grade fantasy but transitioned into adult literary fiction over time to explore deeper and darker topics with a more unconventional voice.

She lives with her favorite human, her artist husband, with whom she often collaborates on different projects. Wanting to bring every orphan animal home, they share their house with three dogs and a vampire cat. She would like to end her bio with a joke or witty remark, but she's better at being awkward than being funny.
