Annabelle was born immaculately, coming from a place of dreams and memories into the corporeal world, a Gemini or doppelganger of the ever popular Chelsea Clarke.
She was meant to remain in secret.
Discovered by Chelsea, Annabelle finds herself in the grip of a dysfunctional sisterhood, unable to do anything right and totally subject to Chelsea's cruelly whimsical treatment of her.
Chelsea's overbearing control and insistence on immoral personal errands keeps Annabelle from finding out what her true purpose really is.
Plagued by the strange inner dream world she calls "the Dark Place," and tormented by the harsh abuses of her twin, Annabelle is constantly reminded of her inferiority, captivity, and sense of impending doom.
Until she meets someone who claims to know everything about her, and who promises to set her free...for the price of her soul.
I grew up in a cold place called Minnesota. It means Land of Many Waters in the native Indian tongue, but what I took it to mean was Land of Many Winters.
There, during the long snowy months and sub zero temperatures, I learned about a place called Narnia and spent my days figuring out how to move there. When I grew up, I figured it out. Only when I got there, I found it was much darker than I had anticipated or than CS Lewis had reported. Now, I tell the stories of what I found in Dark Narnia.
