Mystical woman in a foggy forest on the cover of 'Shimmer' by Lorelei Matthews.

Mikela Daniels believed she was living the perfect life, spending her days on the sunny beaches of California while pursuing her anthropology degree. However, her days of solitude are abruptly shattered when she is compelled to return home after the devastating news of her parents' death, a place she never imagined she would revisit. As she grapples with her grief and the animosity towards her sister, Mikela encounters a pair of remarkable beings who dramatically alter her life; transforming her into the first human vampire hybrid. As she navigates this transformation, Mikela must learn to manage her new reality and discern who is genuinely on her side and who wishes to use her to fulfill an ancient prophecy. This journey, part of the captivating 'Gates of Destiny Series' by an emerging author under Shadow Spark Publishing, challenges her to traverse a dark new world. Will she be able to overcome the shadows that threaten to desiccate her spirit, or will she succumb to something much, much darker?
