The Golden Curse
Seventeen year old, Kirk Andrew Lawley, hates his life. He keeps to himself at school because of what he is. However, it’s not your typical teenage angst. Kirk is cursed. His ancestors were ruthless warriors that burned down small villages and took countless lives. What they did was despicable, but that wasn’t what started this curse. It was his ancestral uncle that did the dirty deed by killing an animal for sport. Unfortunately, this animal was a beloved pet of a powerful witch. So for three centuries, the men in his family have carried a beastly burden. Unlike his sister, Brianna, who enjoys the many splendors of being rich, Kirk and his Uncle Andrew sneak out and do nightly acts of heroism. These selfless sacrifices serve as an atonement for his forefather’s morally corrupt ways…until the arrival of the Carmichaels, the new owners of the dog kennel where Kirk works. As Kirk comes to know them, he discovers that the couple’s twin daughters, Anna and Kara, harbor their own magical secrets and that a new kind of danger lurks: ungodly creatures that one could never dream existed. His family must unite with the Carmichaels in order to fight against these monsters. In doing so, he learns that his curse is possibly one with a larger destiny in mind. One that could end this fantastical nightmare.
