Summary: Lilianna always knew she was different. The violent visions, scaring nightmares, and hauntings proved it. But somehow, with the help of her loving mother, she had found a way to deal with it. Now that her mother is dead, Lily doesn't know who to turn to. Her stepfather is frankly terrified of what happens to her and her stepbrother is just as clueless as she is.

After a year of that terrible night, her stepfather decides to move the family to her mother's hometown, just to get away from all of the messes. So far, New Haven is peaceful to her. Nothing seems supernatural or threatening. She doesn't know anyone so maybe she might be able to make friends, something that is a first for her.

Later, Lily finds out that she is part of something that is unimaginable to the human mind. It will change her life and the opinion on who she really is.

Lilianna Rozalli is the key to beginning the Holy Wars - the seven years of hell and the battle between Good and Evil. What's more tempting? The truth or the power?

This sounds really interesting, I hope you write more soon. I'd suggest making the good and evil thing a little more subtle. It sounds a bit cliche so if you could smaller ways to work in, it might sound better. Anyways, I would enjoy to read something like this. Good luck in this and all other future writes.

Sounds Great! I am also a serious christian, so this is pretty interesting. Will it in any way be tied in with Revelation or something like the Left Behind series?

This sounds like a great idea! One section that confused me a slight bit though was:

psychoxsweetie wrote:After a year of that terrible night, her stepfather decides to move the family to her mother's hometown,


The start of that sentence doesn't quite sound right. Is it saying that the nightmares and visions have only happened once? OR is it referring to the night that her mother died or something completely different? I wasn't quite sure.

Apart from that though this was great and I am looking forward to reading the rest (:

This sounds really good. I have always like to read a book to do with God and that. I really hope you carry on.

Sounds good! You need to mind map all of your ideas clearly so you can get ideas of characters and such but it has the potential to be really interesting. One thing I did notice that beginning has already pointed out:

psychoxsweetie wrote:After a year of that terrible night, her stepfather decides to move the family to her mother's hometown, just to get away from all of the messes.

a) I would say a year after that terrible night
b) Is the terrible night the one where her mother dies or where a particularly bad scene takes place?
c) I would change 'get away from all of the messes' to 'escape from all the mess.' That's a matter of personal opinion though and you don't need to change it; especially as it is just a blurb for the story!



The day, which was one of the first of spring, cheered even me by the loveliness of its sunshine and the balminess of the air. I felt emotions of gentleness and pleasure, that had long appeared dead, revive within me. Half surprised by the novelty of these sensations, I allowed myself to be borne away by them, and forgetting my solitude and deformity, dared to be happy.
