Cursed Under The Moon
Catherine stood in the middle of the still woods. It was full moon and yet, the misty rays could not penetrate through the eerie trees. She did not know what had brought her to this place and neither did she know where ‘this place’ was. The only thing she knew was that she was waiting for something. She could just feel the tension in the air as it came near. Then, a handsome figure stepped out of the trees in a hooded long cloak. He walked towards Catherine with such grace and power that made her wonder if this was an angel. The figure knelt down on one knee and extended a pale hand to place on her baby bump.
“Catherine, you shall bear the next and the most powerful heir to my throne.” He spoke in a low voice while a green flame licked up from his hand, onto Catherine. “He shall be named Daren” He said again looking at Catherine in the eyes with piercing red pupils.
Catherine screamed to find herself in her own bed, covered in sweat, yet again.

I'd give this short book somewhere between 2 and 3 stars, really. It would definitely benefit from a run through the spelling and grammar program of any Word application. Having similar words replaced with the incorrect ones definitely took me out of the story a little bit.
This story is about Daren, a boy who is destined to destroy the world. His mother, the queen, upon learning this, hands him off to her servant to raise him until he reaches adulthood. At that point, she's supposed to kill him to protect the world. During this time, however, he meets and falls in love with a neighbor girl, giving himself one weakness. His adopted mother, as you can probably predict, fails in her task, starting the end of the world.
The story kind of goes this way and that, without much explanation about how Daren gets his powers, what his real goal is, and how things progress. We meet more members of his lady love's family, there's evil demon powers exposed, lots of killing, and in the end we get a somewhat (?) happy ending. This was a self contained short story that had a good idea but could use some help in execution.

This novella could have just been written better. I think the author had the right idea when she started, but fell off base as the story progressed.
