Synopsis
All her life, Desdemona has seen things others can’t. Dragons, knights, dwarves, kids with three eyes. Heeding her mother’s advice, she keeps silent about this and struggles through life, pretending everything is normal. The break comes when her father's disappearance drives her into a life of sex and alcoholism. Eventually, she struggles free. She begins to build a life for herself and learns how to ignore the "phantoms". At her mother’s death, Desdemona returns to a home haunted with memories but she is determined to not be shaken from what little normalcy she has. However, when her brother is murdered and she uncovers a family secret, Desdemona realizes that she may not be insane after all. What she sees may actually be real. And what she sees has begun to tell her to go with them to their world, that she is in danger, and that she has something others would kill for.

About the Author
Suzanna Linton grew up in the extremely rural areas around Holly Hill, South Carolina.

She attended the SC Governor's School for the Arts and Humanities' summer program in 2002 and graduated from Francis Marion University with a Bachelor's in Professional Writing. Suzanna lives in Florence, SC with her husband, their two dogs, cat, and Betta fish. WILLOWS OF FATE is her second novel.
Review
Desdemona has a lot to be afraid of. Not only has her mother just been taken into hospital suffering advanced lung cancer, but she is also being seemingly pursued by a number of figures, or 'phantoms' as she calls them, classical, mythological, often threatening figures that turn up amidst otherwise perfectly normal scenes. What follows in this suspenseful story is Desdemona's search to make sense of these events, figure out what her mother has been hiding, whether this other-worldly part of her life is actually real, and how all these threads intertwine. -- Georgina Parfitt, Tower Babel
