Hayle Coven Novels

Hayle Coven Novels

I’m an international, multiple award-winning author with a passion for the voices in my head. As a singer, songwriter, independent filmmaker and improv teacher and performer, my life has always been about creating and sharing what I create with others. Now that my dream to write for a living is a reality, with over a hundred titles in happy publication and no end in sight, I live in beautiful Prince Edward Island, Canada, with my giant cats, pug overlord and overlady and my Gypsy Vanner gelding, Fynn. ***WORLD'S BEST STORY2014*** Her mom's a witch. Her dad's a demon. And she just wants to be ordinary. I batted at the curl of smoke drifting off the tip of my candle and tried not to sneeze. My heavy velvet cloak fell in oppressive, suffocating folds in the closed space of the ceremony chamber, the cowl trapping the annoying bits of puff I missed. I hated the way my eyes burned and teared, an almost constant distraction. Not that I didn't welcome the distraction, to be honest. Anything to take my mind from what went on around me. Being part of a demon raising is way less exciting than it sounds. Sydlynn Hayle's teen life couldn't be more complicated. Trying to please her coven is all a fantasy while the adventure of starting over in a new town and fending off a bully cheerleader who hates her are just the beginning of her troubles. What to do when delicious football hero Brad Peters--boyfriend of her cheer nemesis--shows interest? If only the darkly yummy witch, Quaid Moromond, didn't make it so difficult for her to focus on fitting in with the normal kids despite her paranormal, witchcraft laced home life. Add to that her crazy grandmother's constant escapes driving her family to the brink and Syd's between a rock and a coven site. Forced to take on power she doesn't want to protect a coven who blames her for everything, only she can save her family's magic. If her family's distrust doesn't destroy her first.

Their rule spans across regions, from the technologically sublime Pulsar Provinces to the mineral-rich Meteor Marches. Powerful factions, like the Voyagers of the Nova Pulse Order and the mysterious Seekers of the Black Horizon Order, enforce their cosmic mandates. Yet, there exists a place beyond their grasp: the Unknown Reaches. This lawless frontier, strewn with the ruins of long-lost alien empires, is a refuge for outlaws, fortune-seekers, and those desperate to escape the emperors' rule. Amidst the intrigue of the cosmos, we find our protagonist, Caden Driver. A young Star Seeker from the Oracles of the Quantum Echo Order, Caden was chosen from his home in the Nebula Expanse for his unique aptitude in cultivation.

Armed with the mysterious and powerful techniques, Caden embarks on a journey that will test his resolve and push his abilities to their limit.

Modern cosmic horror novels often have a sense of the vast and unknowable. They deal with entities or forces that are far beyond human comprehension. For example, in 'Annihilation', the Area X is a place full of strange mutations and phenomena that seem to defy scientific explanation. Another characteristic is the feeling of insignificance they instill in the reader. Characters in these novels usually face threats that make them realize how small and powerless they are in the grand scheme of the universe.

H.P. Lovecraft is perhaps the most notable author in the cosmic horror genre. His works, like 'The Shadow over Innsmouth' and 'Nyarlathotep', are filled with otherworldly creatures and a sense of dread that comes from the vast, unknowable cosmos. Another important author is Algernon Blackwood. His stories, such as 'The Willows', often deal with the human encounter with the unknown and the numinous in a way that anticipates later cosmic horror. Clark Ashton Smith also wrote in this genre. His works, with their vivid and often grotesque descriptions, added to the development of cosmic horror.
