Sasha of Halos (The Halos Saga, Book 1) - Rewriting

BOOK 1: Haunted by her mom's comatose state, Sasha has nightmares of losing her. Two years ago, in 2009, her mother almost lost her life in a fatal car accident. Known as the daughter of "Marie," aka her mother's stage name, she would've been the tragic singer whose light went out. By the grace of God, her Grandma Chioma claims, survived. However, those two years made Sasha a bit bitter. The stresses built up over time with the coma and what her mother left behind have put a weight on her family's shoulders. What makes matters worse is bearing the burden of Sasha's strained relationship with her older sister, Layla-the rising pop star. This sister rivalry is legendary, considering the different lifestyles: Sasha's suburban laid-back life versus the fame and high-energetic life Layla endures.

Furthermore, college was a way to leave the past behind. However, the peaceful life Sasha once knew has changed from the crippling secrets around Haven's Gate city and the recent disappearance of Layla. This situation drives Sasha to find answers amid the strange events dawning on her shoulders. SASHA OF HALOS explores a Black mixed heroine thrown into this spiritual warfare with her disillusionment of faith. Sasha, who has a sour heart against religion, struggles silently, debating the truth of coming out to her family on not conforming to their Christian faith. She is no saint like Joan of Arc. However, wrestling with the things unseen now becomes more real to her through these supernatural encounters. Inspired by JOAN OF ARC and BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER, Sasha must bear the weight of becoming the Knight of Halos-defender of man and judge of evildoers. This journey makes Sasha confront her agnostic view of the fantastical and shakes the very foundation of what she doesn't believe in. She must fight alongside her guardian angel in this impending war on Haven's Gate of unseen forces. Will she accept her true calling?
