I really like the premise of you book! I love all things mythological and your spin on the subject intrigues me.<br /><br />Yes, I have been influenced. My first novel and the first in a series of five is based on the elements. Each book features a different element. And the final book they will band together to conquer a dark and evil Fae trying to destroy both Human and Fae realms.<br /><br />Paul, I will add Locked Within to my reading list.
