Echoes of Daniel: A five-minute romantic thriller

On her first day in Australia, Mairi McDonald collides with her past - or does she? Originally written for a magazine, Bronwyn's challenge was to write a romantic suspense story in just 1500 words. It's the perfect length for a short break with a cup of tea or coffee!Long before written history, when mankind was still spreading across the globe, one island was home to a race very similar to mankind. The People followed five spirits, one for each tribe: Earth, Metal, Animal, Plant, and Sun. As mankind spread and came to The Isle of Light they threatened to upset the delicate balance The People held most dear. So the High Priest of Airon, god of the sun and chief of the spirits, called together the kings of the five tribes.The Roses of Airon tells the story of how The People come together to work powerful magic to save their realm from invaders, and from dark spirits that threaten to consume them.This is the prequel to the upcoming series The Rose Garden by Casia Schreyer.
