By Amanda Mondoux

The curse of the Whyre has altered beasts for centuries, turning them into mutated and vicious killers. When they attack the kingdom, Lily is rescued by a mysterious unicorn who, instead of taking her to safety, brings her to the place where it all began.

Because she is the only one who can seal the curse.

Armed with only her mind and a skill she knows little about, Lily struggles to unveil the truth of the curse while fighting to remain alive.

Amanda Mondoux

Amanda Mondoux was born in Nashua New Hampshire in May of 1980. Her primary passion growing up resided with animal care, making it easy to understand her later profession of a veterinary technician. And then there was reading, and of that she did plenty. Her love for writing developed later in life, and has flourished since. Amanda’s love for fantasy and mythology started at the young age of six, her first “adult fantasy read” being JRR Tolkein’s “The Hobbit.” Her education was then split between English and writing courses and classes pertaining to animal care, and the two curriculums served to enhance the reality and beauty of the worlds she creates.

This story was written in honor of the wonderful fans who joined my face book page and attended the release bash of Forbidden Era. They answered a handful of questions, and this tale formed from their responses. I decided to publish to share with everyone for free, but also to work on my formatting skills. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I loved writing it.

Dusk fell, casting the world in dismal gray and black. Shadows moved and shifted with the collapsing sun, joining the screams of agony and terrifying roars in a nightmare fit for the wildest imaginations. Soon the only light remaining came from the infernos devouring the trees and claiming the corpses littering the ash-coated forest in a cackling wave of death.

Lily held fast to Esmond’s mane as the unicorn dashed through the devastation. She struggled to breathe, but the air had been replaced with dense smoke that smothered her every attempt. Her muscles cried in torment, her eyes moist from the sting and fear, and her faerie wings, once the fairest around with their lavender trim and translucent mauve highlights, were frayed and torn. Each jump bounced her further down the silk back of her mysterious savior, sweat and filth creating a slick surface over the once gleaming white coat. The combination would eventually throw her from salvation and into the belly of the beasts
