Destiny Unhinged is my debut Novel. It is written in Vanessa Wilkinson Randolph's POV.
VANESSA, a soon to be 17 year-old, who
anxiously awaits for her birthday, a boyfriend and some much needed excitement
in her dull, boring, meager life.
She soon finds herself torn between her
destiny that she is expected to have with MAX – a deceased alien from another
planet who wants nothing more than to cherish her, offer her his world and make
her his Queen - and the one she desires to have with TOBY - the down-to-earth (or
so she thinks) good looking guy who will stop at nothing to protect her but
also has his own destiny to fulfill, one that unfortunately doesn’t involve her
but one he doesn’t want either.
Will she escape fate and what’s meant to be
only to decide her own destiny or will life find a way of taking her down a
different path only to end up where she was meant to be all along?
********************************************************
Well that will be determined, but wouldn't you like to get in the head of Max and Toby?
********************************************************
Meet Maxzinyea a.k.a Max Harper: A nineteen year old, gorgeous, tall and muscular. The image of Thor radiant from every description Vanessa could possibly describe him as. He appears to be genuinely interested into her and has a strong desire to please her.
The catch? He is a ghost, oh yeah, he is also an alien, King of Najinial, thrown upon this Earth to find his queen so he may return home and rule as his father wished.
His powers are massive, even in death, on this world. By making a physical connection to Vanessa by injecting her with part of his essence, he now has a bond with her, both physically and mentally.
Here are some of Max's thoughts on the morning of Vanessa's arrival to his cemetery: I have been so lonely living as a non-existence piece of this world. I want so much to go home and rule Najinial as my father had planned. How much of a disappointment I must be to my family? If they were alive as well, they would surely hold contentment for my actions. I tried not to get killed on this world. I didn't know Ravagers were closing in so quickly.
I've found my queen. She is beautiful. More than I ever could have imagined. I see life pouring from her veins. I know she belongs with me. I feel her approach. This is it. This is my chance to finally connect. I'm tired of waiting, tired of being alone and so tired of not existing. I must get her to come home with me to Najinial, not only for me but for our people and my parents. With her return, I can bring my parents back into existence on our world. She will be the savour for all of Najinial. My love, my heart, my forever Mirellium.
********************************************************
Meet Toby Clarkston: A friend to Harold, Vanessa's BFF Jules' boyfriend. Vanessa is instantly drawn to him. His good looks, Will Smith dimples, dark hair that likes to sweep across his forehead to the side, who constantly pulls her heart strings. Not to mention the overwhelming determination to find herself a boyfriend. She really thinks this down-to-earth kind of guy is just her type.
The catch? Well Toby apparently has another girl lined up to be his. Unwanted and undesired by Toby, but also unknown to Vanessa. Toby is part of a Destiny that requires him to be with another. His family moved here in hopes for Toby to fall in love with this girl on his own, rather than forced into an arrangement of some sorts that is required by all of his family.
Here are some of Toby's thoughts on Vanessa when finally getting some one-on-one time with her in the Cemetery: This is wrong, I know it in my heart. Her being so close to me is sending my heart into overdrive. I shouldn't have feelings for her. My father would not approve. I can't turn my back on my family or our family requirements. Tradition is tradition but it is so not fair. If I had not been born into my family then I know I would have found her. Destiny or not, she would be the one I would choose to spend the rest of my life with.
Her long light auburn hair and blue eyes is too much for any man to deny. She deserves so much more than I can promise to offer her but I can't bear to see her with anyone else. I know I have no right to claim what isn't mine but why can't I have what so many others wait an entire lifetime to find...love...
