Draakensky: A Supernatural Tale of Magick and Romance

The Beautiful and Bleak, Bewitching of Draakensky Windmill Estate

A wind sorceress, a murder, a ghost hurling its cracking voice. Jaa Morland is a modern-day wind witch. Yet, her spell-craft has no mastery over this relentless ghost haunting her land in Bedford, New York. Its dark face hovers over the windmill’s window glass—eyes that don’t blink.

After Jaa’s sister is found murdered, her body trapped in the river on Draakensky, Jaa’s shock and grief drive her to fulfill Heida’s last legacy. She hires sketch artist Charlotte Knight to illustrate her sister’s book.

When Charlotte arrives at Draakensky, heartbroken from a failed romance and desperately needing a job, she craves a fresh start in the countryside. Illustrating a book of poetry—the famous Rainer Maria Rilke’s poems—is a career opportunity that promises her crucial artistic success. Until . . . Jaa instructs her to draw ghosts.

Residing in the estate cottage, Charlotte is stalked by Draakensky’s ghost. By night, it commands its bleak voice. By day, it invades her drawings with every stroke on the page. Charlotte resists, but her indomitable will is threatened when Draakensky’s super-natural forces rise and unlock.

Wind sorcery rules the terrain.
Draakensky’s river lashes up its power, flooding Charlotte’s thoughts.
A bewitched owl storms the cottage, leaving her devastated.

Charlotte seeks comfort in Bedford’s savvy and sexy Marc Sexton. Seduced by Marc’s romantic enchantments and his Celtic supernatural wisdom, Charlotte plunges into dangerous Otherworldly realms. As these two lovers battle Draakensky’s forces, they unleash a secret and furious black realm.

Will you brave the ghostly realms and enter Draakensky’s bewitching mystery?
