Bloodlines Beyond Time - Book 1 - Destiny or Chance

An extraordinary child is born during the summer solstice. Matilda, a human midwife, makes an impossible choice. Abandon the helpless infant in the woods to save her mother, or face the wrath of superstitious villagers. One choice brings together an unlikely network of protectors across different realms. The young fairy who trusts her instincts and connects the infant to an ancient prophecy. The seasoned supervisor who understands the danger they are in. The elven couple who unselfishly take in the child, while grieving the loss of their own. The pair of scientists silenced from revealing a history-changing secret. The shape shifting undercover operative who finds herself questioning direct orders. All while a corrupt High Chancellor hunts the infant to serve his own agenda.

Believing that the prophecy child holds the key to his destruction, High Chancellor Mordak Blackwood is determined to publicly execute the child and all that come to its aid. He values spectacle over justice, deceit over truth, and will stop at nothing to get what he wants.

The child's protectors, each flawed, frightened, and courageous in their own way, lie, sacrifice, and risk everything to keep her hidden. Their choices ignite investigations, murder, inter‑realm breaches, and the rise of a resistance long before the child herself can play any role.

This is not the prophecy child’s story.

It is the story of the people who chose to save her and the lengths they go to in order to keep her safe.
