It's 2010. A young woman sets out on the first step of her journey into adulthood - starting university. Along the way she meets a strange, mysterious figure, who threatens not only to redirect her life along an entirely different path, but also to reveal the dark corners - and hidden, delicious desires - of her own soul. Join Lissa as she ventures into a world she scarcely could have imagined , filled with romance, temptation and mystery - that may be teetering on the brink of destruction.
STARTING THE JOURNEY, COMING OF AGE
Lissa hasn’t much life experience, living on a quiet island off the coast of Scotland, so starting university in the cosmopolitan city of Glasgow is a shock to the system. Nights out, new friends, meeting boys and learning to cope with parties and drinking culture – as well as preparing to start her course – is a lot to deal with. Having left behind her parents and everything she knows, she’s in a vulnerable position right from the start of her university experience. Lissa doesn’t need any extra complications, but has a lot of them added to her life in quick succession...
PARTY TOWN
Her flatmates are focused on one thing – going out and having the best time they possibly can before studies and responsibilities take over. Lissa has to deal with their sometimes overbearing personalities, and learn to live with them at rather close quarters, compared to the solitary existence she knew her whole life. Will she integrate herself into the group, or will she find herself left behind by more experienced city girls? Enjoy a plethora of strong female characters who know who they are, or will grow to know their true potential. Don’t worry – if the journey hasn’t concluded in this volume, it will be revisited in further entries...
MYSTERIOUS STRANGERS, FAMILIAR FACES
Who hasn’t experienced a love triangle . Quiet nature aside, Lissa is quick to meet Jack, a boy from the more urban south of Scotland who wants to express his creative mind and share his deepest thoughts and feelings. Just as it seems like things are going in one direction she meets a mysterious stranger, who throws everything into chaos and confusion. The heart is fickle and Lissa finds that matters of love and desire are not as simple as one might wish them to be. Sometimes what should be isn’t what will be.
LORE AND HISTORY
Delve into a world of secret history, revealed through memories and teased through hints and theories. The world you live in isn’t as human as you imagined – below the surface of human awareness, there lies another group, pushing its influence up through situations and historical events that we’ve always assumed were caused solely by our own race.
DARK FUTURE
What will happen to Lissa as she discovers the world around her isn’t what she thought? Watch her struggle with steps into another new experience – learning about a people who are in turn learning about themselves. A people with a dark secret, so elusive and ancient that they aren’t sure what the truth is anymore. What lies in store for humanity, when this secret stands at risk of being exposed to the world? Will this be a personal tragedy, or grow into a tragedy for us all?
A NEW RIFF ON AN OLD IDEA – REALISTIC FANTASY, DARK ROMANCE
Did you enjoy the Twilight Saga? The Seed is a more realistic, more mysterious and more philosophical exploration of the paranormal romance genre – a genre populated by vampires, ghosts and werewolves. Most of the explanations are already given in other books, whereas in The Seed, you are taken on a journey through mysteries that the characters themselves are trying to figure out. Rest assured, there will be more to come in volume two – including some twists and turns that will have you reeling. Will the answers be what you expect? Start the journey, and immerse yourself in new lore. If you enjoy world building, you will love these first, tentative, teasing hints of a deeper, paranormal reality that could almost be plausible.
