Ancients by Faye Knightly
Sarah is an amnesiac, haunted by a past she can't remember. She's not aware of being an exile from a community of beings known only as ancients, the predecessor of the modern witch, vampire, and werewolf. After an emotionally abusive few years being raised by a vampire family she believes is her own, she meets David, the childhood friend she can't remember. But they're not kids anymore, and when a deep emotional connection between them creates nothing but confusion, Sarah must reclaim her past and find ou who and what she is.



Sarah



Lost. Alone. Adrift. I’m a ghost in my own life, haunted by a dream of being chased through the woods by shadowy figures that must exist within my lost childhood memories. With what my family was like, I’ve always thought it was for best that the car accident blotted out the worst of their emotional abuses, but then I meet David and the dream starts to visit me nightly.

I can’t sleep, can’t think when he’s around, and I don’t want to. There’s something about him, something that brings me to life like no other thing has. It’s more than a want, it’s a need and when my clan leader tasks me with determining whether he’s a threat to us, all I can tell for sure is that he isn’t a vampire, a witch, or a werewolf.

What he is, I don’t know, but it scares me how invested I am in the heady combination of peace and excitement I feel in his presence.



David



I came here searching for a lost child, for the girl ripped screaming and crying from my arms. All I’ve ever wanted was to save her and bring her home, but we’re not children anymore, and I can’t pretend I’m not hopelessly attracted to the stunning woman she’s grown into. The secrets of our past are mine to share, but how can I when doing so will ruin the life she’s struggled to build for herself?

I’m supposed to stay away, to be her friend, but I never expected the pull between us to be so powerful. She doesn’t know who she is, what she is, and as much as I want to shield her from the truth, there is no moving forward until she’s confronted the past.
