ABSTRACT

In The Sky Fall series, romance and horror are the main impetuses that keep the plot developing. How the protagonists, Vane and Audra, bravely face the obstacles and hazards on the way of pursuing true love as well as freedom for people under the tyranny of Raiden becomes the essence of the series. Love helps Vane and Audra overcome various difficulties and threats to their individual development. In the present paper, the author tries to analyze how Shannon Messenger, the author of the book, successfully mingles the fantasy element of paranormal romance with the Gothic elements of horror to foreground the initiation theme in The Sky Fall series.
