Court of Demons

What happens when your enemy is the person to whom you are drawn? What do you do when you want your captor more than you want to escape? What happens when you are faced with the ultimate choice; run and live, or stay and die? Whatever happens, you can’t leave a real-life Hell without changing somehow.

In a complex world, where a select few humans know of the dangers that lurk below the surface, it leaves the world fragile. These humans, all members of the secretive organisation of Everest Arch, protect the unknowledgeable normal humans from the anger and violence of the ruthless Demons that live in the mountain beside a small town.

The organisation is full of people who strive to protect their world, but when one person dares to ask the question no one else has thought of, the consequences shake the ground and the two types of people must decide what they really are fighting for.

Always aspired to be an author, Vanessa Baker’s love for writing stories began when she was still in Primary School. When she discovered how naturally plots, characters, and twisted storylines came to her, she attempted to find the perfect way to convey the thoughts in her head. Determined to make her dreams a reality, she spent six months working on the first draft of her first story, when she was only 11 years old. The story was forgotten in the transition into High School, she rediscovered her love for the art during a particularly relaxing year and a story formed.

Vanessa is currently going into Senior High School, managing her studies, her passion for riding horses which includes her aim to make it to the Olympics for Australia, as well as continuing this story in a series.
