In life, an event can happen that will forever change you, maybe even the world. Such an event happens when Garet James stumbles into an antique shop and receives a mysterious metal box. When she makes the foolish mistake of opening it, all manner of misfortunes break loose.

That night the box is stolen. Soon, a hundred-year-old prophecy comes to light for her - and she's at the center of it.

By opening the box, she released a great evil upon the world, and she's the only one who can stop it. To end the evil, she will have to face something that has been a mystery for many years since her mother died - her true identity.

On her journey to save the world, she will have to face fey, vampires, and many other creatures heard of only in fairy tales and horror stories. With the fate of the world in her hands, who can she trust? Will she figure out her true identity and her role in the prophecy in time?

This is a great adventure for paranormal fans. The action is intense, and the mystery is spellbinding. The characters are well-developed; the plot is well-crafted. Those who like paranormal books, adventure, urban fantasy, and fate-of-the-world type stories will have a hard time putting down BLACK SWAN RISING.
