BLOOD OF THE IMAGINED: SHORT STORIES by Rayna Scott features:
“Spiraling into Insanity,” follows a pre-teen Rayna as she navigates through her school day. She rides an ordinary bus and attends an average middle school, but during her first-hour class, she is yanked into her own mind, plummeting into the darkness of her subconsciousness where she is confronted by her other personalities.
“Change,” suggests that Rayna adapts to her new norm, by the telling of the story of Dorian, the alpha male of the black wolves. Dorian faces a challenger that represents the evolution of his home. Fear overtakes Dorian, due to his opponent's overwhelming strength, and at the risk of losing his very life, he must decide to change.
“New Identity,” suggests that Rayna has now embraced who she is by the telling of the struggles of Koa, a half arachnid half-human girl living in a foreign country. A normal girl turned monster by her government, Koa flees to the country of Igoine, hoping to find out who and what she now is.
“BOTI: Friend Turned Foe,” represents Scott’s full induction into her new world. The short story follows the Zodiac children as they attempt to help their brother, Pisces, control his ability to raise and control the dead.
