In the world of Necoh, everyone fears Grishma, a hideous murderous beast responsible for ruining or ending the lives of anyone who dare cross her.
As a young boy, Ryder lived with his family, deep in the caves underneath the Kadin Forest, unaware of the horrors of the world. His simple world was turned upside down one horrible night when Grishma attacked his family, killing his father and kidnapping his mother and younger sister.
From that night on, Ryder devoted his life to killing Grishma. He tracked the monster from Necoh, to our world, and back again. Unfortunately, during his quest, he accidentally transported Brooklyn, a high school junior into his tumultuous world, where she is mistakenly identified as Princess Sophie, the missing princess of Sumner.
Days after Princess Sophie’s return, Grishma plots and manipulates the King into drugging and marrying off his only daughter to Prince Algid of Dratun. Desperate to save Brooklyn, who now believes she is the long lost princess, his mother, and his little sister, Ryder embarks on the deadliest part of his quest.
Will he save Brooklyn? Will she ever regain her memory? What will become of his mother and sister?
Through epic adventure, loss, and love, GRISHMA depicts the strength of the human spirit and the tight bonds formed by the unique creatures of Necoh.
Excerpt
It took both Pinga
and Lenora to lift the gown above Brooklyn’s head. As they
carefully lowered the hand-sewn masterpiece over her body, Brooklyn
could see from the expression on their faces just how pleased they
were with their handiwork. Pinga pulled gently and quickly laced up
the back.
“Oh, Princess, you
look stunning!” exclaimed Pinga.
Nodding her head in
agreement, Lenora said, “You look absolutely exquisite! Here, come
look at yourself in the mirror.”
Brooklyn had to do a
double take to make sure that she was really looking at herself in
the reflection. The dress was unlike anything she had ever tried on
before. It was as light as a feather and shimmered with every move
she made. Not to mention it made her waist look impossibly small and
it showed just the right amount of cleavage.
For a moment, she
was truly speechless. I
look amazing!
Pinga beamed.
“Princess Sophie, you will be the most beautiful bri— I mean, the
most beautiful princess in all of Necoh!”
“Damn you, Pinga!”
hissed Adeline.
Whoa! Where the
heck did she come from?
“Wait a minute,
you said I’m going to be the most beautiful bri— did you mean
bride?” asked Brooklyn. She looked around at everyone. No one would
even make eye contact. “I thought this was supposed to be a royal
ball to celebrate my return? What’s going on here?”
Adeline grabbed
Pinga by the arm and threw her out of the room.
“Lenora, help me
get her out of the dress,” spat Adeline.
Brooklyn sent Lenora
a pleading look. “I’m so sorry, Princess. Please let me help you
out of that dress.”
Brooklyn stood with
her arms crossed firmly across her chest. “I’m not doing anything
until someone tells me what’s going on.”
