CoDC II — Cheryl L. Hyde

Destinies...Have you ever had your life planned out, only to discover what you thought was your destiny maybe isn’t? Or maybe it still is, but another destiny, a dual-destiny, presents itself. Max and Kaylie, Cassy and Ayla live typical SoCal lives until a dormant alien DNA activates in their blood and flips their lives upside down. To escape an impending Earth apocalypse, they and others like them, travel to a different time direction and an island utopia, Muria.Cassy, Ayla, and Max have returned to post-chaos Earth to help friends resurrect the Coven of Dixon Cliff and guide its new High Priestess, Mona, to greatness. Max inadvertently becomes her High Priest, but Mona wants even more.When Kaylie, Princess of Muria, visits the alternate time direction she discovers her Prince is now Mona’s High Priest. Awkward. Max’s celebratory toast, at the magical Dixon Estate—“To the lovely island princess joining us tonight, may all our destinies be forever entwined, in love and magic, now and always,”—changes the proclaimed future, entangling all in the midst of a dual destiny in two separate, yet entwined, time directions.Does Kaylie have a place in this alternate time direction?Will she choose to return to the utopia-island-paradise of Muria?What about Max—Will he stay with Princess Kaylie or fall under High Priestess Mona's spell?
