A village at the edge of the Northern forest has lived in peace for centuries; free from the curse of their Ancestors. The attacks of the Beasts faded into the distant past; no more than myths and legends. One fateful night the full moon rises, the Beasts awaken from their long slumber and they are an unstoppable force. A champion is chosen to oppose them, and she travels into the forest, where she finds Gypsies, Beasts, and her own Daemons as well. A truly unique terror-filled journey into the deep woods of the human psyche and the condition of suffering. A macabre tale of the battle inside each of us. An emotional adventure that questions what it means to exist, and why. Solstice of Sorrow is a novella written in two parts, including: poetic passages, internal dialogue, and terrifying illustrations to haunt your dreams. Classified as Gothic Fiction, and resembling a fantasy adventure through a realm of horror, this tale will take you farther into the Northern woods than is safe to travel, leave you with unanswered questions and a shiver down your spine, and help to show conditions of emotional suffering, trauma, loss, depression, grief, and overcoming hopeless odds. "The protagonist is such a fascinating anti-hero with nothing to live for, a broken woman, and yet she rises up to face the challenge despite the hopelessness of her situation. A truly haunting story full powerful wordplay." "Spellbinding and chilling to the bone! A festival of scary images!" "The visualization and descriptions are superb! Outstanding job at catching the reader's attention and getting them emotionally involved every step of the way!" Original and fast-paced. Kept me up late reading until the end. Frightening, and even a part or two that brought tears. The descriptions put you in the story right alongside the heroine. "It's wonderful work and it helped me realize that I'm dealing with my own battles the right way. I'm thankful that I could find a sign, so to speak. It's been very helpful to me and I'm sure it will be to anyone who reads it. A beautiful, deep, and thoughtful work. Just perfect." "We enjoyed the whole journey. Completely felt the sorrow, grief, and sadness in my soul. The storytelling captured my attention, and I found the descriptions of beast completely frightening and so real. Looking forward to Alexis Elizabeth Lynch's next writings." The book is a magical paperback with the texture of soft leather; bound in Elven rendered dragon-belly hide. Some call it "matte".
