A Wisp of Fate
Elsie True Series #1
by Kristy Centeno
Genre: Urban Fantasy
Elsie True lives with only one goal in mind …
… to avenge her father’s death.
Branded a traitor among the brotherhood of the Cause, an organization
dedicated to the destruction of all magical creatures, her father was
unjustly murdered for falling in love with a celestial being, leaving a
teenage Elsie to learn the creature-hunting business with the help of her
father’s old friend.
Her life revolves around besting the Cause and keeping the world safe
from any creatures that get out of hand. When her mentor signs her up for
another case, she jumps at the opportunity to steer business away from the
corrupt organization.
Not long into the investigation, she realizes she might have walked right
into a setup, including coming face-to-face with a creature she doesn’t
know if she should kill or protect.
Elsie feared little in life, but she isn’t prepared to face the demons of
her past, especially those hell-bent on killing her. Outwitting her
enemies means solving the case, but in a world where she has more foes
than friends, who can she trust?
The oracle’s gaze settled on the cloth in her palm.
She furrowed her brow in response to what Elsie was offering her.
“What is that you ask of the gods, Elsie True?”
“Can they tell me where I can find the object stolen
from the shifter monk monastery? Where do I begin my search?”
“Are you sure you wish to ask the gods for help?”
Elsie blew air out via her nostrils. The gods hadn’t answered
her appeals in years, but this time things were different. Things seemed
different.
Renounced by the gods, abandoned by her mother’s brethren,
she had been deemed unworthy to receive advice from whatever ruling body still
made a half-assed attempt at pleasing underlings with answers borne of pity.
Elsie’s human blood had branded her a disgrace among
all creatures of magical descent. So, she wasn’t expecting much in terms of
answers of whatever god was listening, if any at all, but a tiny part of her
hoped that not every god saw her as a nuisance or a disgrace. She wanted to
believe at least one viewed her as equal—farfetched as the likelihood for that
was.
Kristy Centeno loves to spin tales of creatures that go bump in the night,
with a sprinkle of romance to top them off. Her passion for writing stems
from a lifelong enjoyment of reading and the pleasure derived from the
magical worlds created by authors like her. She prefers her female leads
strong, independent, and stubborn who will stop at nothing to save their
loved ones and protect those they care for.
Kristy currently resides in Pennsylvania with her five kids, a quartet of
noisy parakeets, and a spoiled puppy. When she is not working or writing,
she juggles her free time between raising a handful of minions and pursuing
other career goals.
