The Vardøger --- NOW AVAILABLE IN AMAZON KINDLE!

Purchase your copy here: THE VARDOGER


Read the excerpt:


Blood red hair spilled at the sides of his head, framing his delicate facial features, stunning green eyes the color of forest after a rain shower, straight nose that no plastic surgery could ever achieve, and pinkish-red small lips soft and glossy, begging for attention. Though tall and fit, he wasn’t as muscular as Gene. He’s rather slender-looking, almost graceful, which added to the already-long list of his androgynous features.    
                He looked very pretty and he wasn’t even at his best yet.
                Slowly, and in dreadful recognition, Roseus’ eyes widened with horror. He does look like a girl.
                Letting out a dramatic sigh caused by his sudden acceptance of a certain fact, Roseus tied his hair into a low ponytail and tucked his white button down inside his dark denim jeans. Alfonso did not appreciate him wearing jeans, preferring slacks instead, but as usual, Roseus didn’t concede. Everybody but his parents wore jeans nowadays. Jeans are for the masses don’t hold true anymore, something which his parents still believed. Roseus preferred jeans. Jeans were way more comfortable than slacks in everyday activities. The best he could do to appease his father was to at least look smart casual. Roseus always wore a button-down with jeans.
                Satisfied that he looked more presentable, Roseus immediately proceeded to the study, not wanting to be caught loitering in the hallway when his father could already be calling for him.
                Upon reaching the entrance, Roseus was about to knock when something caught his attention. From the corner of his eyes, he saw something white and blurry appear at the other end of the hallway, leading to the grand staircase. When he turned his head fully, it wasn’t there.
                The hairs at the back of his neck rose. Did he just see a ghost?
Forgetting he needed to be at the lobby of his father’s study by now, he turned away from the double doors and slowly walked towards the end of the hallway, his heart drumming inside his chest. There was an internal debate going on inside him. He couldn’t hear anything, but the goosebumps on his skin tell him that there was something there.
A gush of cold air blew as he neared the corner, making him want to just get the hell out of there and ignore what he thought he saw.
                But his male pride wouldn’t let him.
                His heart started to beat faster with every step he took towards his destination. Upon reaching the end, he took a deep breath, mentally counting from 1 to 10. And before he could change his mind, he abruptly leaned in to peek at the corridor.
                He screamed.

                She has the blackest eyes he has ever seen.

The Vardøger --- how do you pronounce it?


My best friend didn't like it. She said she doesn't even know how to pronounce it. Let me tell you this--- until now, I'm not even sure if the pronunciation I know is its true pronunciation and that's the truth. 

Of course, I researched. I can't NOT research. This is an audio from---Forvo.com. The word was pronounced by a male from Norway. It sounded like wahr-do-ghed.

There's this website The Vardoger.Com (their website seems to be gone now so I'm posting the FB page) which said the pronunciation of the word was var-DAY-uh-grr.

The pronunciation I prefer is wahr-the-ger (which seemed to be a combination of the Norwegian and (probably) English pronunciation). It came from this forum: Cry-of-fear.com

(Please feel free to correct/help me if you know the most correct way-- most correct because I still think the pronunciation differs depending on the language)

So why stick to that title, you might ask. This is my answer: finding the perfect title for a story is like finding a soul mate. You will feel a certain special connection and you know you'll never let go.

I didn't let go. I couldn't. It's the perfect title. And you will understand once you have finished reading the novel.

Please don't hesitate to share with me your thoughts after you have finished the story.

By the way, to further understand the title , please read this. This is one case of the Vardøger phenomenon: Article by Wirralglobe UK

The Vardøger


Synopsis

            Roseus, a stunning boy born with a diamond spoon in his mouth, had his life laid out for him even before he could talk. Despite his rebellious nature, he accepts his fate and continues to live his privileged yet routine life, until his father brings home Kai, an orphaned enigmatic girl, who could not remember anything from her past except the scholastic knowledge she must have learned somewhere.


            Despite his father’s strong reluctance to a potential friendship and the girl’s oddities, Roseus finds himself drawn towards her dark aura. As he and Kai start to become each other’s worlds, Roseus’ father starts interfering and sends him away to college. College becomes his new life, where he finds independence and meets his first real love, Cammie.

            When Roseus comes back, he is surprised to find Kai different. She has retreated back to her dark shield and he is unable to penetrate it.  Frustrated, he tries to bring his Kai back and in the process, his feelings start to change, causing him to break up with Cammie. When he is finally ready to accept his feelings, the mysteries surrounding Kai start to reveal themselves, causing him to realize that he and Kai are mere actors to a script someone has written.

            And that Kai is not who she seems to be.

           Love’s choices always result to either joy or pain, and Roseus has to make a choiceset Kai’s soul free or recycle it?
