Scarlet Hemlock

Chronicling her life of just seventeen years from beyond Death's Veil, Allie Mae's story begins in early childhood as a beautiful, precocious, and innocent young girl residing in Cades Cove during the dawn of the twentieth century. Long before she became the violent wraith who haunted David Hobbs and his family in Tennessee and Colorado, Allie was once a carefree kid who deeply loved her family and rural community.

Much of Allie's recollection features a unique telepathic bond with her beloved sister, Emma Sue, as well as their deep devotion to each other. In addition, Allie's narrative also focuses on a darker fascination and friendship with an ancient entity residing in a magical realm hidden within an isolated ravine not far from her family's homestead.

Drawn to this mysterious ravine at a young age, where local teenagers pursue wanton desires and leave crudely carved initials upon the majestic trees lining both banks, the entity-known previously in Europe as Teutates-has quietly waited centuries for a human being special and unique enough to discover his realm. Someone possessing unusual supernatural gifts and a natural bent towards witchcraft.

Someone just like Allie Mae.

Unable to resist the entity's persistent enticements, Allie answers the silent call to begin a supernatural adventure lasting nearly a decade.... An adventure filled with enchantment, love, and deadly betrayal.
