New Fantasy Novel CRYSTAL FALLS is Released

In her new fantasy novel, "Crystal Falls" (published by AuthorHouse), Annemie Byleveld tells a story that shows how love is stronger than the passing of time and how death is only a new beginning and nothing to be afraid of.

Payton is an orphan with a secret past. Now she is confronted with the shadows of her past when a series of dreams brings up her old memories. She follows those dreams in search of any knowledge about herself, but what she finds goes deeper then the yearning of belonging somewhere. Vampires, werewolves and witches aren't just horror stories, but the essence of her existence. She gets drawn into a world where belonging means dying. But she's willing to pay the price.

An excerpt from the Introduction of "Crystal Falls":

"Nightmares-vivid and horrifying, tormented the essence of Payton's being. Payton always thought that death meant going forward into a destination of peace and rest-but she was wrong. Sometimes death was only the beginning of an unknown life . . ."

Byleveld weaves inspirational messages of acceptance, purpose and belonging into "Crystal Falls." "It might be fantasy, but in the end it's about people trying to find their place on Earth," she says. "Good versus evil, with good always winning."
