The Haunted Valley Witch - A Past Life of Alina Storm, #1

A Past Life of Alina Storm SeriesI thought I was going crazy the day I remembered a different life I'd lived when I was but three years old. My parents thought the devil had touched me, and I spent the rest of my short life being traumatised by physicians in their search for answers. When it happened again, I realised something special was going on in my life, and I kept the knowledge to myself. After living more lives than I can count on my fingers and toes, I decided to chronicle my life to discover the reason behind my various reincarnations and why I remembered each of my past lives.
My bones hold a deep fear that we are approaching something catastrophic for our species. My yearning to discover the truth is hurtling me towards answering a question that burns deep inside of me. Am I here to save the human race or destroy it? The name I am using for this exercise is Alina Storm. To keep my identity hidden, I have changed the names of people and places in my narrative. Rather than writing my history in chronological order, I have chosen to write them as they come to my mind when putting pen to paper.
Although the names have changed, the events contained within these digests happened as written. I witnessed some of those events, while others were later pieced together by talking to those directly involved. I am not interested in chronicling my entire life as a particular person. Rather, I will be recording only those events that led to the termination of the supernatural event plaguing the community.
I shall keep these journals secreted away, adding to them as a new life is lived until a resolution to my conundrum presents itself. This series is written in Australian English. Books in this series can be read in any order until the final instalment. The Haunted Valley WitchAn evil entity sequestered in a forest terrorises people living in nearby villages. When a shire's mayor is personally affected by the creature, he seeks the help of healers residing in the Apothecary District to kill the beast once and for all.
The healers are not equipped to handle the problem and wish to bring in outside sources. Even though the mayor is not agreeable to this plan, he is unable to come up with a resolution himself, and is left with no option but to accept their proposal. With no way to stop what has already begun, he is left to wonder if the remedy will be worse than the affliction.
