Zarafa and the Higher Power

by Katie Cherry

Published 14 October 2019

Despite what they want you to think, the underdog doesn’t always win.

I’m living proof of it.

That doesn’t mean I plan to give up any time soon. After being rescued from my past life as a beggar, I’ve realized there’s only one way I’ll be able to essentially erase my past. I have to make it to the highest spot in Dravyn’s Higher Power I can—even if it means joining Zilferia’s Dragon Hunters and doing other things I feel are beneath me until I can prove myself to the Higher Power and join them in taking over the seven realms.

It doesn’t matter that I’m now a vampire. I’ve had to work twice as hard for everything my entire life, and I won’t let anyone stand in my way. Not even a love I never thought I’d have.

Zarafa and the Higher Power is a companion story to the Crystal Dragon Series, and follows the story of Zarafa, a young woman with a chip on her shoulder and much to prove.
