NO WAY OUT<br /><br />In the super-city of Neo Terminus, millions of tech-addicted fans surround a walled-off inner-city wasteland to watch nano-boosted gladiators called Enforcers fight to the death in the Conglomerate-controlled event known as The Zone. Enforcers are promised wealth and celebrity—if they survive.<br /><br />Officer Chance Griffin fights to clean up the mean streets of Neo Terminus, and scrape together enough money for his infant son’s vital surgery. Driven by his family’s need, Chance signs on as an Enforcer for The Conglomerate.<br /><br />As Chance rises to the top of the Enforcer ranks, The Glom’s mysterious Founders coerce him into competing in the greatest Zone trial ever conceived. Chance knows he’s the favorite to win. He believes his family is safe. He believes his son will get the medical care he urgently needs.<br /><br />Chance is wrong.<br /><br />Too late, he uncovers a plot by The Glom to rig the trial and enslave the citizens of Neo Terminus, ensuring obedience—forever.<br /><br />Blinded by fame and fortune, and used as a pawn by the corporate machine, Chance resists. But he is about to discover that every deal with the devil has its price… <br /> <br /></span><div>

<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Excerpt</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><p style="text-align: start;">“Hey.” Benny jerked his chin toward the window.</p><p style="text-align: start;">“What?” Chance said.</p><p style="text-align: start;">“Take a look at the scene down on Morgan.” Benny cut the wheel, and the VTOL banked left so Chance could see below them. A group of young men, all of them wearing purple jackets and hoodies, surrounded a young teenage male without colors.</p><p style="text-align: start;">“I see it.” Chance unbuckled his seatbelt. “Death Squad. Looks like a jump in—either that or they’re just being assholes.”</p><p style="text-align: start;">Benny held up a hand. “Hang on, bro. Us getting in the middle of that is only going to make it worse.”</p><p style="text-align: start;">Chance jabbed a yellow key on the console. With a clunk, the full-sized surveillance drone disconnected from the cab of the Aeron police-issue VTOL and lifted away. Blade-thin wings extended, it banked and circled slow, its telephoto camera capturing identities with facial recognition software.</p><p style="text-align: start;">“Technically,” RITA said, “a child is in danger. As sworn peace officers, you are obligated to intervene.”</p><p style="text-align: start;">“That’s right, RITA.” Chance said, pushing up the wing door to the VTOL. He reached up and connected his tether to the eyebolt on the doorframe. “You do what you want, Benny, but I’m going in.” He slipped his Devcon assault helmet on and gave Benny the hang ten sign.</p><p style="text-align: start;">“You reckless son of a—” Benny called after him.</p><p style="text-align: start;">Bailing out of the VTOL, Chance zipped down toward the crowd, controlling his speed with a gloved hand by pulling the rappel cable away from his body. Chance landed and ripped the end of the tether free from his armor. He unclipped the sub-compact Electro-stream shock rifle from his chest and flicked it open, the stock clicking into position. The bulky rectangular muzzle snapped arcs of electricity as he snugged the minimalist stock into his shoulder. Oversized power coils in the frame glowed white, static-charging with a whine.</p><p style="text-align: start;">Standing over the bloody, beaten teen, Chance swiveled back and forth, the “less lethal” shock rifle aimed at the furious gang members. The Death Squad goons encircled him, a sea of plum-colored jackets shifting, the gangbangers unzipping to produce concealed weapons. Chance slapped a raised orange triangle on the chest of his armor. A piercing siren shrieked from the hovering VTOL, followed by a concussion like rolling thunder. Blue lights strobed across the surface of his armor.</p><p style="text-align: start;">“Attention.” RITA’s voice boomed from the VTOL’s megaphone above, echoing across the street. “By section six-zero-nine-five-two of the Neo Terminus Criminal Code, you are engaged in criminal gang activity and will be sent to the Blocks if you do not cease and desist. Disperse immediately by order of the NTPD.”</p><p style="text-align: start;">The terrified kid at Chance’s feet stared in shock at the gang, then at the single cop standing over him. Blood dripped from his nose and off his chin.</p><p style="text-align: start;">“What’s it gonna be, fellas?” Chance said, his body coiled for action.</p></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>

Is this a cause of hope for humanity and
the Solarii? Or will the hybrids destroy them both? Will anyone survive the killing waters of the coming apocalypse?</span></div><div><span style="color: #999999;"><br /></span><div>

On his chest, she laid out a scarab pectoral and into his mouth, she placed a length of straw.</p><p style="text-align: start;">Opening Fryme's package, she fingered the dark green leaves. She'd used hyssop many times before and had grown to enjoy its astringent odours. Deftly, she worked the herb into a paste and poured a droplet onto a wafer… She re-read the hieroglyphs on the wall: 'The Spell of the Gods' and beneath that, the warning, 'Use me wisely, lest I turn and rend thee.'</p><p style="text-align: start;">This ritual was the ultimate... life and death. She had to be dedicated and fulsome, lest the warning would apply to her. She replayed every detail of the ritual in her mind before preparing for the trance. The timing was of the essence: according to the proscription of the ritual, it had to be conducted on the night of the round moon and completed by the rise of the sun…</p><p style="text-align: start;">Lying on the bench, she placed the wafer beneath her tongue, relishing the minty bitterness of the hyssop as it suffused her being… Slowly, her ka eased out of her physical body…</p></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The Blackened Tablet Series is an epic fantasy quest story
with corrupt politics, wondrous magic, and illicit encounters in a supernatural
world where no one is safe.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Three hundred years ago, the sacred tablet granted by their
god, Jezabet, turned black, and eight kingdoms broke free, plummeting into the
bottomless sea. There was no warning, and no one knows why.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Now, a strange illness plagues Aldersward. Crowned Prince
Aedyn's sisters, Achelle and Annora, his father, and countrymen are desperate
and grief-stricken. All hope is lost...</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Until someone dreams, and Aedyn leaves behind his mistress
and his betrothed to cure their nation. He enlists his friends; a brazen
playboy, a gentle strongman, and an ancient mentor. Together, they set out on a
perilous journey-few believe they will survive.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><b><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">This isn't a fairy tale-s3x becomes currency, murder is
ordinary, and love doesn't conquer all.</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Everyone loves a hero-good triumphs evil. But few dare to
question how victory ripples into consequences. Explore this exciting concept
in the Blackened Tablet Series.</span></p>

chair—formidable to all who dared enter into his dark splendor. The
throne, as he called it, was supported by a raised platform, several
stairs leading up to it. Shrouded in pitch black robes, he appeared only
a silhouette—his red eyes striking fear into anyone who was brave
enough to peer into them. The circular room had no windows. Massive
clusters of blood diamonds gleamed furiously on the walls, glistening in
their geometric designs. Two doors stood in front of him, though they
were merely vague outlines in the darkness. </b></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="color: #444444;"><b>Any minute now, he thought. </b></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="color: #444444;"><b>Just
then, the doors in front of him swung open, revealing his most trusted
assistant.

voice was a deathly calm, almost as if a cat was purring just before it
devoured a bird. The assistant knew this, and he knew what the cat’s
true temper looked like—and he knew to avoid it with his life. </b></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="color: #444444;"><b>“Bring
me my hunters,” said the man on the throne. He gleamed at his
assistant, drilling him with a red stare of menace as the assistant
arose and left the room hastily, not speaking a word—not daring to stoke
the fire of a temper that would burn him alive—the stalking cat that
would pounce out of the shadows.</b></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="color: #444444;"><b> </b></span></span></p></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">

There’s no time to deal with it, however, as she’s targeted by a dangerous power-siphoner.</b></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #4c1130;"><b>Nikki Chase, a 16-year-old striver, feels like her life is falling apart around her. Her parents ’marriage seems in trouble, her best friend prefers to spend time with the popular girl, and she’s quite certain she’s on the verge of a psychosis. After all, normal people don’t see colors around people or hear voices, right?</b></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #4c1130;"><b>When a volunteering assignment leads her to a mental hospital, Nikki is determined to figure out what’s going on with her—and if perhaps she belongs in that facility. What she discovers is nothing she expected: Lorene, a volunteer, tells Nikki she’s not crazy but, in fact, has the power to influence people’s thoughts and beliefs. However, someone has been sucking the power out of people just like her, leaving them behind as an empty shell. Desperate for help and someone to trust, Nikki teams up with Lorene to discover who is behind the siphoning. But can she stop them before she becomes a victim? And can she do so without becoming addicted to the power herself?</b></span></p>

course, I could tell him the real reason. But what if he decided that I
needed to go to Calgary Psychiatry? Then I would surely lose Carmen. </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #4c1130;"><b>“I just think it’s interesting.” </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #4c1130;"><b>My dad gave me a long hard look and opened his mouth to say something. </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #4c1130;"><b>“There you go.” Rosemary appeared in front of us. “Two blueberry pies and two hot chocolates.” </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #4c1130;"><b>She
put the plates and mugs down. My dad’s smile was back, as well as that
glint in his eyes. “Thank you so much; you’re a true saint.” </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #4c1130;"><b>Rosemary giggled, putting a hand on his shoulder. Lingering. “Oh, stop.” </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #4c1130;"><b>I looked down at my pie. My skin tingled again. </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #4c1130;"><b>“Enjoy!”
She squeezed my dad’s shoulder, turned, and walked back to the counter
to help the next customers. Her long, blonde hair swayed from side to
side as she did. </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #4c1130;"><b>My dad stared after her. </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #4c1130;"><b>“Dad?” I leaned forward, trying to catch his eye. </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #4c1130;"><b>“Hm?”
He jerked his head back to me, plastering a smile on his face. He sat
back, placing his hands next to the plate with pie. “Well, let’s enjoy
these, shall we?” </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #4c1130;"><b>I nodded, picked up my fork, and dug in. The
sweet-sour taste of the blueberries filled my mouth. It wasn’t enough to
stop the uneasy feeling, nor the increasing pricking of my skin. I
couldn’t believe it was happening again—I thought I’d managed to push it
away. </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #4c1130;"><b>“Is Mom home for dinner tonight?” Talking surely would provide some sort of distraction. I hoped. </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #4c1130;"><b>My
dad scoffed, then checked himself and gave me a small smile. “No, she’s
working late. But she said she hoped we could play some games when she
got home.” </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #4c1130;"><b>I nodded. It wasn’t unusual; my mom’s job as an attorney required long hours and hard work. But it was a job she loved. </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #4c1130;"><b>What worried me was the strained tone in my father’s voice as he said it. </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #4c1130;"><b>This
summer, we’d gone camping—enjoying the great outdoors. We’d been doing
that for years, and I always loved the peacefulness. Well, I suppose I
didn’t always enjoy them, but I did now I was older. </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #4c1130;"><b>This year,
however, my mom brought her laptop with her. So she could still check
her email every now and then. She was close to making partner—she didn’t
want to ruin it. </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #4c1130;"><b>“This is important, don’t you understand?” my mom hissed at my dad, both of them thinking I was sound asleep. </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #4c1130;"><b>“More important than spending time with us? Your family?” he snapped back. </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #4c1130;"><b>“That’s
not fair.” My mom’s voice broke a little. “I’ve been supporting this
family for years. I’m the reason we get to go on this vacation in the
first place. You don’t know what it’s like. To stand your ground between
all those men. Some still treat me as their fucking secretary!” </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #4c1130;"><b>My
father shushed her, likely to keep me from hearing their conversation. I
suppose they both forgot that the walls in a tent are very thin. </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #4c1130;"><b>“You know I’m proud of what you’ve achieved. I am. But is it really more important than… than me?” </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #4c1130;"><b>The silence stretched on. </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #4c1130;"><b>“I-I don’t know.” Her voice was barely a whisper, yet it seemed like she was shouting in my ear. </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #4c1130;"><b>It
was then that I first experienced that crushing feeling, the clenching
in my chest. The inability to breathe. The pricking and burning of my
skin. </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #4c1130;"><b>The eruption of colors. The voices.</b></span></p><p><span style="color: #4c1130;"><b><br class="blank" /></b></span></p><span style="color: #4c1130;"><b>

The escalating Human-Faerie war has scattered and wounded her siblings and transformed her parents beyond recognition. After narrowly escaping yet another dangerous clash, fifteen-year-old Justice has had enough. She’s determined to defeat the Black Shuck, the mysterious leader controlling the Faerie invasion of London, but if Justice hopes to stand a chance at victory, she’ll have to do the impossible: reunite her family and lead them against the looming Faerie Armada.<br /><br />With her mother and brother at the helm of the enemy fleet, and the prophesized Seven Virtues slipping out of reach, Justice more than has her work cut out for her.

Did any research go into writing your books? </b></span></i></p><p><b> </b></p><p><span style="color: #0c343d;"><b>Absolutely! I
did a lot of research on a huge variety of topics, from nautical
terminology in the Age of Sail, to life in Victorian times and the
various and many sources of mythology that go into Fairy stories all
over Europe. It was a labor of many years and I wanted those details to
feel right. </b></span></p><p><b> </b></p><p> </p><p><i><span style="color: #660000;"><b>2. Where do you get inspiration for your stories? </b></span></i></p><p><span style="color: #0c343d;"><b> </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #0c343d;"><b>Inspiration
is easy. Like every other author out there, I grew up with a love for
books and movies, so you’re constantly moving through a stream of ideas.
You finish a book and think: ‘maybe I could write something like The
Big Sleep, but with weasels, right? It’s taking those ideas and making
them into something that people want to read that’s the difficult part. </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #0c343d;"><b> </b></span></p><p> </p><p><i><span style="color: #660000;"><b>3. If you could put yourself as a character in your series, who would you be? </b></span></i></p><p><span style="color: #0c343d;"><b> </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #0c343d;"><b>Mostly,
I wouldn’t if I could help it. I mean, books are people with
fascinating characters, but they’re not usually having a fun time.
Frodo, Fantine, Philip Louis de Pointe, Marlowe, Hamlet, Jay Gatsby,
etc. Mine are no different, and mostly have a miserable time, pushing
through impossible obstacle after obstacle. That being said, you have
the chance to be a dragon for a little while, I’d have to take that. </b></span></p><p><b> </b></p><p> </p><p><i><span style="color: #660000;"><b>4. Do you snack while writing? Favorite snack? </b></span></i></p><p><span style="color: #0c343d;"><b> </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #0c343d;"><b>Coffee and lots of it. :^) </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #0c343d;"><b> </b></span></p><p> </p><p><i><span style="color: #660000;"><b>5.

complicated family can be. The escalating Human-Faerie war has scattered and
wounded her siblings and transformed her parents beyond recognition. After
narrowly escaping yet another dangerous clash, fifteen-year-old Justice has had
enough. She’s determined to defeat the Black Shuck, the mysterious leader
controlling the Faerie invasion of London, but if Justice hopes to stand a
chance at victory, she’ll have to do the impossible: reunite her family and

Klaver has been writing for over twenty years, with a number of magazine
publications, including <i>Escape Pod</i>, <i>Dark Wisdom Anthology</i>,
and <i>Anti-Matter</i>. He’s the author of The Supernatural Case Files of
Sherlock Holmes series, but has written over a dozen novels, both fantasy and
sci-fi, often with a Noir bent. He's worked as book-seller, bartender and a
martial-arts instructor before settling into a career in internet security. He
lives just outside the sprawling decay of Detroit, Michigan, with his wife,
Kimberly, his daughter, Kathryn, and a group of animals he refers to as The
Menagerie. He’s also a part of the Untitled Writer’s Group based in Ann Arbor
for the past decade or so with a bunch of equally starry-eyed dreamers and social
misanthropes.</span></b></span></p><span style="color: #0c343d;"><b>

Awkward. When her father suddenly disappears, Serenity follows his trail to a parallel dimension. The feds on the other side claim to want to help her go home, if she helps them reconstruct the right codes for the portal between worlds. But it’s soon clear they want something more: a gateway for invasion, because this version of Earth is dying.<br /><br />When Serenity learns that her alter-ego was killed in battle, she assumes “the other Serenity’s” identity and uses her unique abilities to lead the resistance in a mortal fight against the tyrannical super-government that is poised to invade her universe. Serenity has no idea how to be someone she’s not, but she has to try—or she may not have a home to return to.</span></b></span></div></div><div class="paragraph" style="background-color: white; font-family: Roboto; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px auto 1em; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #0c343d;"><b><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://camcatbooks.com/Books/A/A-Measure-of-Serenity" style="text-decoration-line: none; transition: all 0.2s ease-in-out 0s;" target="_blank"><span style="color: #38761d;">CamCat Books</span></a> <a href="https://www.audible.com/pd/A-Measure-of-Serenity-Audiobook/B09GSB2571" style="text-decoration-line: none; transition: all 0.2s ease-in-out 0s;" target="_blank">/ <span style="color: #0c343d;">Audible</span> /</a></span><span style="font-size: large;"> <a href="https://amzn.to/3rXgEUv" style="text-decoration-line: none; transition: all 0.2s ease-in-out 0s;" target="_blank"><span style="color: #38761d;">Amazon</span></a> / <a href="https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/measure-of-serenity-bryan-prosek/1139631992" style="text-decoration-line: none; transition: all 0.2s ease-in-out 0s;" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0c343d;">B&N</span></a><a href="https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-brighter-the-stars-bryan-prosek/1137950724" style="text-decoration-line: none; transition: all 0.2s ease-in-out 0s;" target="_blank"> / </a><a href="https://www.indiebound.org/book/9780744303629" style="text-decoration-line: none; transition: all 0.2s ease-in-out 0s;" target="_blank"><span style="color: #38761d;">IndieBound</span> </a><a href="https://www.indiebound.org/book/9780744301380" style="text-decoration-line: none; transition: all 0.2s ease-in-out 0s;" target="_blank">/ </a><a href="https://bookshop.org/books/a-measure-of-serenity/9780744303629z" style="text-decoration-line: none; transition: all 0.2s ease-in-out 0s;" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0c343d;">BookShop</span></a></span></b></span></div><div class="paragraph" style="background-color: white; font-family: Roboto; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px auto 1em; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #0c343d;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"> Add to <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/56774518-a-measure-of-serenity" style="text-decoration-line: none; transition: all 0.2s ease-in-out 0s;" target="_blank"><span style="color: #38761d;">Goodreads</span></a></span></b></span></div><div class="paragraph" style="background-color: white; font-family: Roboto; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px auto 1em; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #0c343d;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div class="paragraph" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px auto 1em; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Roboto; font-size: 16px; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #0c343d;"><b><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyW1TBLTgS3i-ho9ovyUVWV0ojmh71GPukU_ZKhu8uxWEnmmeyAbMkC_CjaBlc2C0V6IwLV3jfZ4Htf1Z6MxVIsnzboGDvxwjYD9UV68f5qVb0p_XbzzbGTlUhfrRr8gXhnuIaQy-4fT806Qgczw9VgoAAygGnPzJzNEUxQNCr9Ugb3DQqwwOecimJqQ/s4032/BryanProsek_AuthorPhoto.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyW1TBLTgS3i-ho9ovyUVWV0ojmh71GPukU_ZKhu8uxWEnmmeyAbMkC_CjaBlc2C0V6IwLV3jfZ4Htf1Z6MxVIsnzboGDvxwjYD9UV68f5qVb0p_XbzzbGTlUhfrRr8gXhnuIaQy-4fT806Qgczw9VgoAAygGnPzJzNEUxQNCr9Ugb3DQqwwOecimJqQ/w150-h200/BryanProsek_AuthorPhoto.jpg" width="150" /></a></b></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div class="paragraph" style="font-family: Roboto; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px auto 1em; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #0c343d;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #38761d;"><span>Meet the Author</span></span></span><br /><br /><span>Bryan Prosek is a science fiction writer and business attorney.

are at school I get plenty done after they leave and before they come
home. But holidays are more difficult. Usually, we do stuff in the
morning and then when they slink away to use electronics after lunch,
that’s my writing time! It can be hard after the holidays are over to
get back into writing morning and afternoon. But I always aim to write
at least 1200 new words a day, five days a week. I take weekends off but
not really many holiday days. When the kids are at school, I do the
writing in the morning then after lunch I will do any admin tasks, or I
may have a video or article on writing or publishing to watch or read.
Or I might try and write a short story. I have had a few shortlisted and
two cosy crime stories published. My novels are YA Fantasy, but that’s
the beauty of short stories, you can explore a different genre more
easily. I also do research for the next project in the afternoons. </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #783f04;"><b>Although
my books are set in fantasy, made-up worlds, I still want them to be
believable. So I research the climate, the types of plants and animals
that might live in that type of landscape. I will also research the
culture and it all influences my writing. </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #783f04;"><b>My first published
novel The Shard took me almost two years to write, edit and publish, but
since then I have brought the time down. It takes about 4 to 4.5 months
to write, then anything between two weeks and a month for editing
(allowing a week for it to sit in a draw while I work on something else)
– this time depends on whether the kids are on holiday or not! Then I
send it for a professional edit, to ensure I am putting out the best
quality I can, and that can take 5 to 6 weeks to come back. Then a week
or so on making any changes. During the professional edit I also
commission a cover. For A Shimmer of Magic, I chose MiblArt as I had
heard of them in a Facebook writing group and seen a cover on a book I
really liked. I try to have everything done before I put the book on
pre-order, but if I have to, I will use a homemade cover and then upload
the new one once it arrives – well before it releases! </b></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #783f04;"><b><br /></b></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #783f04;"><b><a href="https://www.silverdaggertours.com/uploads/8/2/5/5/82557464/ashimmeromagic-about-the-author_orig.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="96" data-original-width="683" height="56" src="https://www.silverdaggertours.com/uploads/8/2/5/5/82557464/ashimmeromagic-about-the-author_orig.png" width="400" /></a></b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #783f04;"><b> </b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #783f04;"><b><a href="https://www.silverdaggertours.com/uploads/8/2/5/5/82557464/jane-shand-189x240_orig.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="240" data-original-width="189" height="200" src="https://www.silverdaggertours.com/uploads/8/2/5/5/82557464/jane-shand-189x240_orig.jpg" width="158" /></a></b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><p style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #783f04;"><b><span face="Calibri, sans-serif">Jane

She is a whisperer, and she knows that to reveal her gift now is a dangerous risk. Past whisperers have been exploited for their power. But Ausland’s queen is dead and acknowledging her magic is her only chance at becoming a Rook in the Pentax—a competition that will decide the kingdom’s next ruler. Laurelin isn’t in it for the crown, though. She’s after the wish that will be granted to the victor. A wish that would save her dying brother, Pippin.</b></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #274e13;"><b>Once chosen, Laurelin finds that there are dangerous undercurrents to the Pentax, and she is at the center of it. When she begins to search for answers, she discovers a secret with implications far beyond her brother’s life–or her own, for that matter. Now, she has to choose between saving Pippin or saving the kingdom she loves.</b></span></p></blockquote><p> </p><span style="color: #274e13;"><b>

<p><span style="color: #274e13;"><b>For most people, I think writing about oneself is difficult, and that’s no exception for writers. I must have written a dozen different versions of this. But hey, if you’re here, you must be interested in knowing a little about my life. If you’re curious about something that’s not covered here, shoot me a message through email or social media and I’ll be happy to answer!</b></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #274e13;"><b>I live in Northern Utah with my wonderful husband and our rambunctious toddler. We’re a family that likes to be on the go, so you’ll probably find us at the zoo, on a hike, or out for a run together. And yes, the housework suffers while we play. There are usually crumbs on the counter, dishes in the sink, and toys on the floor.</b></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #274e13;"><b>I graduated from Brigham Young University with a degree in health education and history teaching. I taught junior high school for two years before switching careers. I now work from home for a local credit union and write down the stories in my head when I have time.</b></span></p>

<p><span style="color: #073763;"><b><i>A part-demon girl fights Lady Reaper</i></b></span> <br /></p></blockquote><blockquote><p><span style="color: #073763;"><b><br />
Myla Lewis is a sixteen-year-old part-demon girl who fights evil souls in Purgatory’s Arena… and she’s always looking out for a good battle against evil. Enter Lady Reaper, the famous ghoulette who wields both a scythe and nefarious intentions. Myla discovers Lady Reaper will soon visit the Demon Woods ‘ride ’at Purgatory’s Annual Lust Festival. Time to visit the fest, kick ass and take names, right? Wrong. Lady Reaper has other plans for Myla and her bestie, Cissy…</b></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #073763;"><b><i>A part-angel prince faces the Grim Reaper</i><br />
Lincoln is a seventeen-year-old part-angel prince who protects humans from the denizens of Hell. On a routine trip to Earth, Lincoln uncovers clues that his best friend, Walker, might be allied to an evil ghoul named the Grim Reaper. Things go downhill from there…</b></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #073763;"><b>***A 20,000-word novella***</b></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #073763;"><b>Publisher Note: Originally, LADY REAPER was a full novel. However, the author fell ill with COVID and gave us this prequel novella instead. We have since locked Ms. Bauer into the basement with a charger cord, MacBook Pro and carton of Theraflu. Therefore, the full and epic conclusion of this story will definitely be delivered in the next release, REAPER GAMES.</b></span></p></blockquote><p> </p><span style="color: #073763;"><b>

it’s February thirteenth and Mom’s driving me to the Lust festival.
Fortunately, she still hasn’t guessed my plan for tonight. </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #073763;"><b>And that would be: kick Lady Reaper’s ass. </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #073763;"><b>Unless
the lady in question doesn’t want to fight… only, that’s unlikely. For
whatever reason, I simply bring out the worst in evil. </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #073763;"><b>An idea
appears. Focus on something other than lady you-know-who. Memories
return. It’s earlier today. I stand on the floor of Purgatory’s arena,
ready to battle a horde of demonic millipedes. I’m talking
eight-foot-long monster-bugs with green exoskeletons and serious anger
management issues. The insects scurry across the sand, screeching as
they close in on yours truly. Scooping up the first monster, I use it as
a battering ram against all the others and win, win, win. Good times.
</b></span></p><p><span style="color: #073763;"><b>Mom steers our station wagon down another dirt road in
Purgatory. Betsy—that’s the wagon—blares polka music. Her radio’s been
stuck on the same station for years. A new rendition of Roll Out The
Barrel plays so loudly, the windows shake. </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #073763;"><b>I try to focus on the tune, but my mind veers back to she who must not be named. </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #073763;"><b>Don’t think about Lady Reaper. </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #073763;"><b>Don’t think about Lady Reaper. </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #073763;"><b>Too late.

I hold up my pointer finger. “You moved those ghosts, but not to Heaven
or Hell. A bunch of spirits from 1857 are missing. Anything you want to
confess?” </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #073763;"><b>“Alas!” Lady Reaper hangs her head. “ I am evil to the core.” </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #073763;"><b>This is how things always roll in my daydreams. Villains quickly admit they suck. </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #073763;"><b>“Glad we cleared that up. How do I get the ghosts back?” </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #073763;"><b>“Not
telling.” Lady Reaper flips her weapon so the long blade sits up top.
“Time to die!” She swings the cutting blade of her scythe toward my
face. </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #073763;"><b>Jumping up, I land a roundhouse kick—SLAM!—against the
side of Lady Reaper’s head. She stumbles backward, pinwheeling her arms.
I’m happy to report that her little hat falls off. The scythe lands
nearby. </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #073763;"><b>“Mwah hah hah!” I cry. </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #073763;"><b>Lady Reaper’s all-black eyes widen with shock.

Mom didn’t notice how I mentally entered my own private battle zone.
Little by little, I force my gaze away from the passenger-side window to
where Mom sits behind the steering wheel. Sure enough, she glares in my
direction. </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #073763;"><b>“Are you scheming again?” asks Mom. </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #073763;"><b>Oh, she noticed.</b></span></p><span style="color: #073763;"><b>

spent most of her childhood onstage or reading, as both activities let her live
in fantastic stories. She moved to Los Angeles to study acting at UCLA, and
eventually branched out into costume design and playwriting. While she spends
most of her free time writing, she will still take any excuse to play dress-up,
especially if it involves wearing a crown. She happily promotes more stories as
a marketing director for kids’ films and anime. When not writing or marketing,
she can often be found doing aerial arts, playing board games, drinking too
much espresso, and coming up with new art projects. She lives with her husband,
two spoiled rescue pups, a spoiled cat, six fish tanks, and five bookshelves.
You can find out more about her at <a href="https://www.brandiejune.com/"><span style="color: #bf9000;">www.brandiejune.com

Archer is the USA Today bestselling author of young adult fantasy and
science fiction, including the Desolation series and the Minnie Kim:
Vampire Girl series. Ali's always loved science fiction and fantasy,
as the first books she read were by such greats as Isaac Asimov, Ray
Bradbury, and Lloyd Alexander. But when she discovered *Dragonriders
of Pern* by Anne McCaffrey, which was such a perfect blend of fantasy
and science fiction, her own imagination was set aflame. At eleven,
Ali met Ms. McCaffrey in one of the single most illuminating moments
of her life. When she told the eminent writer she wanted to be an
author when she grew up, Ms. McCaffrey said, “Never let anything
stand in the way of your dreams.” Ali’s been following that
advice ever since. </span></span></span></b></span>

<span style="color: #073763;"><b>If you could live forever, would it be a gift… or a disease?<br /></b></span>
<span style="color: #073763;"><b><br />
A doctor created a genetic mutation meant as a gift to society—to those at random in future generations who were born with it: Immortality. But the risk of overpopulation and questions rising about the imbalance of only few being Immortals brings the ruthless President Wilde to a different stand—a facade of peace and equality whereas Immortals are executed daily—thus creating the ruination of the United States… and the world soon after.<br /></b></span>
<span style="color: #073763;"><b><br />
Scarlett Caldwell is a girl of many mysteries—but along with that, she’s an Immortal. Having run away from a very young age and forced to forget the part of her identity that could get her assassinated, she turns to very few of her friends and spends the majority of her days hiding in the Immortals Legion, a compound for Immortals in hiding. But times are changing and tensions are only growing—Scarlett knows she can’t stay hidden forever. When she encounters an unfairly attractive Exterminator who, despite seeming rigid, has an amusing thing or two to say, she is left absolutely livid. But beyond that, beyond all the parts of him that she hates, there’s a secret. And Scarlett will do anything to unravel it.<br /></b></span>
<span style="color: #073763;"><b><br />
Cain Hawkins is an Exterminator, a member of the country’s new authority specially trained to hunt down and exterminate the remaining Immortals. He truly believes that being an Exterminator is what he is meant for—despite what he may or may not know. And when a skirmish with an Immortal on the street leaves him questioning every last bit of himself, he will have to rise to stand with his president and failing country, or run from everything he was conditioned for. Besides, Cain has a secret: He is an Immortal too.<br /></b></span>
<span style="color: #073763;"><b><br />
Their first encounter is far from the last, for an opportunity rises for the two to (unwillingly) work together. Already, they are left with a spark—a spark of hope for a future where Immortals are not prosecuted. And no matter if Cain sees the spark or not, the question still remains: How long will it be until a single spark ignites a fire?<br /></b></span>

it was fine to be anything but normal, when people were never checked or
hunted, when everything was both at peace and on the brink of chaos. </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #073763;"><b>But mostly, when news of the disease had not yet surfaced on the Web—or anywhere else. </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #073763;"><b>I
discovered there was a problem with my health—if one could even call it
that—on what was supposed to be a delightful weekend trip to the mall.
We went only because a store or two was on clearance—little did we know,
it would close days later due to a mandatory closure caused by… well,
me. They don’t know that, though. </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #073763;"><b>My realization was brought
down upon me with the impact of a sports car—a car that moved too fast
down the street and did not notice a scrawny twelve-year-old, shopping
bags stuffed in each hand, dashing across the scorching asphalt. </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #073763;"><b>My
friends had dispersed and gone their separate ways. I was the only one
from our group left at the intersection. I was to be picked up across
the street and taken to a home that I cherished. </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #073763;"><b>A home that I never saw again. </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #073763;"><b>With
the excitement of my newest purchases resonating in the form of a laugh
spilling from my lips, I began to dash across what I thought to be a
desolate road. </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #073763;"><b>A road that was supposed to be down for construction. </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #073763;"><b>A road that bridged the mall from the upmost parking structure. </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #073763;"><b>The
moment I reached the halfway point on the street, I heard a sound. A
grueling, painful sound. Before I could even register the horror I was
hearing, I saw it—a fancied, sleek sports car that moved too fast to
spot anything in absolute, let alone myself. </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #073763;"><b>And then it happened—the car slammed into my body so quick and painless I thought I was dead. But I wasn’t. </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #073763;"><b>I
tumbled over, scrapes collecting on my skin. There was no pain. There
was no blood. There was almost nothing at all. My arms bent in ways I
didn’t know were possible, though it did not feel as permanent as one
would think. I was dizzy, the sun being the most of my worries. Its rays
beat down on my helpless, confused body. </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #073763;"><b>The screams came next—a
boundless symphony of sounds that came both from the bewildered
onlookers, and, myself, too. I screamed without knowing what I was
doing. I screamed because it was horrifying, because a miracle had
ensued that, at the time, seemed nothing short of impossible. </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #073763;"><b>I
recall the splintering sound of police cars in the distance, fear
building up inside my frame. I sat up, inspecting the tremulous crowd of
onlookers with eyes that stung. The police drew closer. The crowd grew
tighter. But I was okay. I swore that I was okay and alright, but I
didn’t feel that way. </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #073763;"><b>I was horrified for reasons I couldn’t begin to dissect. </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #073763;"><b>The
sound hitting my ears suddenly felt thick, as though I were underwater.
But I heard the words from the onlookers, from the police—the very
people who were supposed to protect me. </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #073763;"><b>Monster. </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #073763;"><b>Witch. </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #073763;"><b>Mutation. </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #073763;"><b>Freak. </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #073763;"><b>And then one, final word that meant hardly anything to me at the time (but would, of course, later). </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #073763;"><b>Immortal. </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #073763;"><b>I
stood up. I brushed the dust scattered across my sweater which was
already stained with sweat. There was no blood, to my further surprise. I
did the one thing that would’ve broken the heart of any
twelve-year-old—that shattered mine into a million disintegrating
pieces. </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #073763;"><b>I ran. </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #073763;"><b>I ran from the words, from the thoughts and theories circulating in my brain. </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #073763;"><b>I ran from the monstrosity of what I felt. From the confusion. </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #073763;"><b>I
ran and hid for the years when things were uncertain, when the
buildings transformed and built up, when there were no longer houses and
instead apartments and sleek office buildings. I ran when the
information about the disease was no longer thought of as a conspiracy
theory, but a fact of reality, and when my alleged death was no longer
marked as accidental. I ran when I found out there were more of them—of
us—when the word disease was associated with one more. </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #073763;"><b>Immortal. </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #073763;"><b><br /></b></span></p><div align="right"><span style="color: #073763;"><b><a href="https://www.shantihershenson.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt="Shanti Hershenson author picture" class="alignright" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-JfgR_Z0Awfc8PzT5To-sp3iIzVilqNgipyRXsMOKkVw0zqx7kD9oBczfCDBZ8dU3zJkVDyk4lomebGmefyKmSgOVnWgNw40M3-A3gOiTYWcQOhIwstQP17kUnokLXgOCPaFjEUSyFB0lnbVDprNTS9UAucgjVl5iJidZ0uKjtzt4H_OsCjI_I4VWhg/w150-h200/Shanti-Hershenson-new.jpg" width="150" /></a></b></span></div><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #990000;"><b>About the Author</b></span></span></p><p><span style="color: #073763;"><b> <br />

chasing the girls. From the corner of his eye, he noticed a group of
outlaws had almost reached the woodpiles. He pivoted, releasing three
swift arrows. </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #783f04;"><b>A mage cast a spell at them, but Troy countered it. </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #783f04;"><b>And then the brigands were too close for spell casting or arrows. </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #783f04;"><b>Rill
backed into the space between the piles, dropping his longbow and
drawing his sword with one hand and his dagger with the other. </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #783f04;"><b>Troy’s shout sounded behind him. “Here they come, Freya! </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #783f04;"><b>Yells
and the clanging of steel on steel rose from beyond the charging
brigands as Kate, Yall, Jade, and Magnus desperately fought a huge pack
of bandits. </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #783f04;"><b>Rill didn’t hold out much hope for them, or for
Troy, Freya, and himself. But an unexpected peace settled over him. As
long as Alyse and Livia made it to safety, his death would be a small
price to pay for keeping them alive. </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #783f04;"><b>And then Rill’s inner peace shattered when the outlaws arrived and surrounded the woodpiles. </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #783f04;"><b>A woman thrust a spear at him. </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #783f04;"><b>Rill banged it away with the flat of his blade, then thrust his sword into her belly. </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #783f04;"><b>Another brigand pressed in, stepping on the dead woman’s chest. </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #783f04;"><b>Rill cut him down too. </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #783f04;"><b>An angry voice rose above the shouts and clangs of steel on steel. “Alive! I want them all alive!” </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #783f04;"><b>The
remaining bandits backed away from the entrance. Some disappeared, but
many stood at either opening, weapons in hand, making it impossible for
Rill, Troy, and Freya to escape. </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #783f04;"><b>Rill exchanged puzzled looks with Troy and Freya. </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #783f04;"><b>Suddenly
wood from the split kindling pile toppled into the passageway. Rill
jumped backward, mumbling a profanity. The brigands were shoving the
kindling into the opening </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #783f04;"><b>between the two piles. This was
something Rill hadn’t anticipated. He traded anxious looks with Troy and
Freya. “We gotta get outta here!” </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #783f04;"><b>More split logs landed
between Troy and Freya. Troy slashed at an exposed arm. The blade cut
all the way through. The victim screamed, “We’re hemmed in.” </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #783f04;"><b>More and more firewood came tumbling down while Rill slashed at exposed hands and arms that were shoving the kindling. </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #783f04;"><b>“Push from the middle!” a voice cried. “We’ll bury ’em under the wood.” </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #783f04;"><b>“Idiot!” another voice shouted. “Didn’t ya hear Palquo say he wants ’em alive? Push from the top and flush ’em out.” </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #783f04;"><b>Rill
stepped back as several pieces of firewood fell on the spot he’d been
occupying. He traded desperate looks with Troy and Freya. “We gotta make
a run for it!” </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #783f04;"><b>Troy stepped back from a hail of kindling, almost tripping on wood scattered behind him. “How? We’re trapped in here.” </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #783f04;"><b>“We ain’t got no choice.” </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #783f04;"><b>“Running is suicide.” </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #783f04;"><b>“So is stayin’.” </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #783f04;"><b>Just then a voice said, “Are you sure he said we can do it?” </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #783f04;"><b>“Yeah,” another voice responded. “Palquo said he doesn’t care now if they’re half dead. He’ll still get his revenge.” </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #783f04;"><b>Hoots and hollers followed the words. </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #783f04;"><b>“Now,” the voice yelled, “all together . . . heave!” </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #783f04;"><b>Horror overwhelmed Rill. It was too late to run. And he was going to die. </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #783f04;"><b>Wood all along the pile began toppling over</b></span></p><span style="color: #783f04;"><b> </b></span></div><span style="color: #783f04;"><b>

Kali Michaels must choose between the illusion of safety and the danger of her own power in this anticipated and heart-stopping finale to The Wormwood Trilogy.</b></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #073763;"><b>Kali learned the hard way that her abilities cannot be trusted if they can be used against her. In an effort to protect those she cares about, she is determined to let the power of her Shadow lie dormant, despite the dangers rising up around her.</b></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #073763;"><b>Now, tormented by an unstoppable enemy, she and Tiamat Wormwood must try to lead others while doing the impossible—ensuring the survival of humans and half-angels alike.</b></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #073763;"><b>But how can she partner with Tiamat, when her proximity could kill him?</b></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #073763;"><b>And how can the Nephilim, Tiamat, be trusted to save a planet, if he is the one who shattered it in the first place?</b></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #073763;"><b><i>Little do they know that sometimes, for new beginnings, that which they love must first be destroyed.</i></b></span></p>

</b></span><p><span style="color: #073763;"><b>I glared at our wilted set of crops, trying to reconcile myself to the idea that the Earth’s soil was likely poisoned. <i>One thing after another</i>, I thought. <i>We can’t overcome everything</i>.</b></span></p><span style="color: #073763;"><b>
</b></span><p><span style="color: #073763;"><b>“Kali.”</b></span></p><span style="color: #073763;"><b>
</b></span><p><span style="color: #073763;"><b>I glanced over at him, meeting his even gaze. He smiled at me then, slowly, and I let the warmth of it spread through my body.</b></span></p><span style="color: #073763;"><b>
</b></span><p><span style="color: #073763;"><b>“We will get through this,” he said, and I almost believed him.</b></span></p><span style="color: #073763;"><b>
</b></span><p><span style="color: #073763;"><b>There was something about being with him—it was a feeling that everything was right, like some cold, wayward pieces of a puzzle were falling into place. I bit my lip and looked back over the field. <i>But I can’t be with him… We can’t…</i></b></span></p><span style="color: #073763;"><b>
</b></span><p><span style="color: #073763;"><b>And then I was warm. His arms circled around me, his chest pressing against my back. Without thinking, I leaned into him, and he brushed his lips along my neck. My emotions exploded and fire burned in my chest. I gripped his arms, holding him against me, trying to keep my reactions in check.</b></span></p><span style="color: #073763;"><b>
</b></span><p><span style="color: #073763;"><b>“We will find a way forward,” he murmured, his breath against my skin. “And if we discover there is no way, then we will forge a new one. Together.”</b></span></p><span style="color: #073763;"><b>
</b></span><p><span style="color: #073763;"><b><i>Together</i>. An impossible word.</b></span></p><span style="color: #073763;"><b>
</b></span><p><span style="color: #073763;"><b>Impossible, yet I wanted it more than anything. Here, so close to him, I was burning. I was drowning. Not able to resist any longer, I turned and kissed him, and the flame in my chest responded, exploding through my veins. My fingers curled into his shirt as his hands wound through my hair. I let myself float in it for a moment—a pure, blissful moment—before I gently stepped away. I moved out of his arms—to a place where I was cold. To where I was empty.</b></span></p><span style="color: #073763;"><b>
</b></span><p><span style="color: #073763;"><b>His eyes were like an animal’s, wild and electric, and we watched each other as we silently reined ourselves in. The loss of him settled like a pit in my stomach. “There is no, ‘together, ’Tiamat. Not for us.”</b></span></p><span style="color: #073763;"><b>
</b></span><p><span style="color: #073763;"><b>His lips parted, his face going blank from shock. “What?”</b></span></p><span style="color: #073763;"><b>
</b></span><p><span style="color: #073763;"><b>“This is nothing new. We can’t even be near each other. It’s killing me!”</b></span></p><span style="color: #073763;"><b>
</b></span><p><span style="color: #073763;"><b>“Kali,” he pleaded, grabbing for my arms. His nose had started bleeding, but he briskly swiped it away. Did he think I wouldn’t notice the blood?</b></span></p><span style="color: #073763;"><b>
</b></span><p><span style="color: #073763;"><b>I backed up, yet he continued toward me, one step after another. “You’re wrong,” he said. “What you just said is <i>entirely</i> new! Proximity is difficult for us, I know. And yes, we have to be careful.” I climbed up on a mound of earth and debris we had cleared from the field, trying to put some space between us. Seeing it, he stopped his advance, his hands dropping to his sides. “But … we are <i>meant</i> to be together,” he continued. “Can you not feel it? Kali! Tell me you don’t feel that.”</b></span></p><span style="color: #073763;"><b>
</b></span><p><span style="color: #073763;"><b>“I feel it,” I whispered. “And it’s too much.”</b></span></p><span style="color: #073763;"><b>
</b></span><p><span style="color: #073763;"><b>“Don’t say that.”</b></span></p><span style="color: #073763;"><b>
</b></span><p><span style="color: #073763;"><b>“I have to say it!” I blurted. “I can’t do this anymore, Tiamat,” I said, gesturing at the space between us. “I want to get close to you… I need to. Something inside me feels wired that way. And it isn’t fair.” His eyes were wide, swimming with a look of disbelief. And loss. I ripped my gaze away, fixing my stare on the dirt by my foot.</b></span></p><span style="color: #073763;"><b>
</b></span><p><span style="color: #073763;"><b>“Have we been reduced to this?” he asked. “Where you won’t even look at me? Where our love has become pain?”</b></span></p><span style="color: #073763;"><b>
</b></span><p><span style="color: #073763;"><b>“You’re wrong,” I said. “Our love isn’t just pain. It’s death.”</b></span></p><span style="color: #073763;"><b>
</b></span><p><span style="color: #073763;"><b>“Then I choose death.” His voice was a growl. “I have said it before. It is mine to choose.”</b></span></p><span style="color: #073763;"><b>
</b></span><p><span style="color: #073763;"><b>“No!” I shouted, snapping my eyes to his face. “I won’t argue about this anymore. It’s the same thing, around and around and around!” I felt my eyes burning and beginning to fill. I blinked, trying to keep the tears at bay. “Every second we’re close, I can feel your Shadow slowly killing you.” My voice softened as I took in his stricken expression. “Tiamat … How can I be okay with that? How can I allow myself to be the cause of that?”</b></span></p><span style="color: #073763;"><b>
</b></span><p><span style="color: #073763;"><b>“Kali… you have never been the cause. It’s the Shadow.” He scrubbed his hands over his face in agitation. “I can figure this out. Just … hang on a little longer.”<br /></b></span>

Orphaned brothers Vincent and Dennis Villanueva learn the truth of those words when they create a masked crime fighter and turn him loose on Los Angeles.

<p><span style="color: #0c343d;"><b>But reality isn’t a comic book. Vincent finds poverty, homelessness, drug addiction, abuse, and cast-off children. Labeled a vigilante and criminal, the shy grad student with formidable martial arts talent and abysmal people skills soon doubts his ability to make an impact.</b></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0c343d;"><b>Forced to straddle an ambiguous line between moral and legal, he becomes disheartened and secretive, hiding the truth of what he’s doing from Dennis and driving a wedge between them. Feeling neglected, Dennis infiltrates a dangerous drug ring to show Vincent he can be just as heroic, not knowing that the woman in charge is weaving an insidious plot against Invictus as part of her citywide scheme of vengeance. In a race against time, Vincent must regain Dennis’s trust before the brother he loves is lost to him forever.</b></span></p></blockquote><p><span style="color: #0c343d;"><b> </b></span></p><span style="color: #0c343d;"><b>

</b></span><p><span style="color: #0c343d;"><b>Dennis lay face down on the soccer field, while men in ski masks strolled among his prone classmates waving semi-automatic weapons at anyone who moved. He considered employing his martial arts skills, but being skinny and only passably good, such foolish courage would probably get him killed.</b></span></p><span style="color: #0c343d;"><b>
</b></span><p><span style="color: #0c343d;"><b>He shook his hair from in front of his eyes with a slight jerking motion and focused on James and Linda, lying on the field off to the side with the rest of the parents.</b></span></p><span style="color: #0c343d;"><b>
</b></span><p><span style="color: #0c343d;"><b>James had his head slightly raised and Dennis caught his eye. When a gun- man approached, James quickly returned his face to the grass. James wanted to intervene. That was obvious by the way he kept looking around for some kind of opening. But could he do anything without getting people killed?</b></span></p><span style="color: #0c343d;"><b>
</b></span><p><span style="color: #0c343d;"><b>The masked men called themselves “anarchists” and were well armed. Despite lying prone for the past forty minutes, Dennis had managed to spot sentries pa- trolling the rooftops, apparently stationed there to prevent the cops outside from storming the school and making their way to the field. He’d also noted the types of weapons these guys carried and considered how best each could be disarmed if this was a comic book scenario.</b></span></p><span style="color: #0c343d;"><b>
</b></span><p><span style="color: #0c343d;"><b>Except it wasn’t.</b></span></p><span style="color: #0c343d;"><b>
</b></span><p><span style="color: #0c343d;"><b>He considered the anarchists ’claims. They said they were “anti-capitalism” and “anti-public-school indoctrination,” but then they demanded twenty million as ransom for not killing him and his classmates, which sounded pretty capitalistic to him.</b></span></p><span style="color: #0c343d;"><b>
</b></span><p><span style="color: #0c343d;"><b>Raising his eyes once more, he noted a big, broad-shouldered dude wearing a black and blue ski mask, staring right at him while chatting with a burly guy holding an Uzi. Dennis averted his eyes and hoped he hadn’t called too much attention to himself. He’d overheard them earlier as they conversed by walkie-talkie. Masked guy was called “C-1” and burly guy “C-2” by the other anarchists, so he figured they ran the show.</b></span></p><span style="color: #0c343d;"><b>
</b></span><p><span style="color: #0c343d;"><b>He glanced over at Jackson and Kenny lying a few feet away. His two best friends looked terrified. Jackson’s curly hair partially hid his brown eyes, but Kenny’s bright blue ones screamed pure fear. Dennis tried for an encouraging smile, but it was difficult with his cheek pressed against the grass.</b></span></p><span style="color: #0c343d;"><b>
</b></span><p><span style="color: #0c343d;"><b>All his comic book scenarios started much like this one, except the hero al- ways knew what to do. As annoying as Robin could be, he’d know what to do even if Batman wasn’t around. Dennis’s mind raced with ideas. He knew James was packing—on duty or off, James always packed. But if he pulled his gun, kids would die.</b></span></p><span style="color: #0c343d;"><b>
</b></span><p><span style="color: #0c343d;"><b>I wish I’d thought of something when these guys first showed up.</b></span></p><span style="color: #0c343d;"><b>
</b></span><p><span style="color: #0c343d;"><b>Instead, he’d frozen with fear when the masked men flooded onto the field. And now with everything that had gone down since, Dennis trembled with the terrifying possibility that someone would die. Maybe him. Sadly, he wasn’t the hero of his dreams.</b></span></p><span style="color: #0c343d;"><b>
</b></span><p><span style="color: #0c343d;"><b>He peered at the administration buildings. Long and single story, the two main wings spread the length of the field. His gaze traveled up and he squinted with confusion. The sentry who’d been on duty at the north end was gone.</b></span></p><span style="color: #0c343d;"><b>
</b></span><p><span style="color: #0c343d;"><b>What the…?</b></span></p><span style="color: #0c343d;"><b>
</b></span><p><span style="color: #0c343d;"><b>Dennis knew his weaponry from playing Call of Duty and other war games, and that guy had been patrolling with an Artic Warfare Super Magnum sniper rifle, likely a .338 Lapua Magnum, but Dennis was too far away to be sure of the model.</b></span></p><span style="color: #0c343d;"><b>
</b></span><p><span style="color: #0c343d;"><b>Only now the guy was gone. With C-2 barely ten feet away, Dennis used caution to scan the south roof. That sentry was gone, too. SWAT maybe? He knew James ’mean-ass boss would have called in the big guns for something like this. But he was also sure those sentries had been up there no more than two minutes ago.</b></span></p><span style="color: #0c343d;"><b>
</b></span><p><span style="color: #0c343d;"><b><i>Could it be Invictus?</i></b></span></p><span style="color: #0c343d;"><b>
</b></span><p><span style="color: #0c343d;"><b>His heart thumped with hope. Vincent must know about this by now. Dennis pressed his face into the grass and pretended to look scared. Hell, he didn’t have to pretend. He <i>was</i> scared!<br /></b></span>

Well, one of them. She and her classmates on the military base where she lives are survivors of Zika-Two, a mosquito-borne virus that took out the very youngest and oldest of the world’s population fifteen years earlier and rendered the remaining humans infertile.</b></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #666666;"><b>Formerly banned research into cloning, genetic engineering, and artificial intelligence is green-lighted by a government desperate to prevent looming human extinction. In fact, it was experimental nanotechnology that saved the lives of Mireya and her friends.</b></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #666666;"><b>She’s always been told this makes her special. She certainly doesn’t feel special. As hard as she tries, she can never seem to please her indifferent parents, and her periodic memory lapses threaten to sink her already-shameful class rank to dead last. She just wants to be like everyone else, to be normal.</b></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #666666;"><b>Mireya’s never left the base, never wanted to, and never questioned why she’s been content to stay there her whole life—until she runs into Heath. Actually, he bumped into her with his Gideon Corp delivery van. She’s not hurt, but she is baffled.</b></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #666666;"><b>Why did the alluring young guy look at her like he knows her? And why did he seem shocked at her very average eye color?</b></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #666666;"><b>When one-by-one her friends visit the physician and come back acting like strangers, Mireya decides to venture beyond the gates of the base to the nearby city of Atlanta to search for answers. And for Heath.</b></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #666666;"><b>What she’ll find is the imposing walls surrounding Gideon Corp, the world’s largest corporation, hide many secrets about the cataclysmic global event and perhaps even Mireya herself.</b></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #666666;"><b>DESIGNED is perfect for readers who loved Hunger Games, Divergent, Delirium, The Wrath & the Dawn, and the Selection.</b></span></p></blockquote><p> </p><span style="color: #666666;"><b>

</b></span><p><span style="color: #666666;"><b>“Warning. Collision alert. Warning.”</b></span></p><span style="color: #666666;"><b>
</b></span><p><span style="color: #666666;"><b>The loud electronic voice reached me a second too late. I’d already stepped off the curb into the street and directly into the path of a delivery van.</b></span></p><span style="color: #666666;"><b>
</b></span><p><span style="color: #666666;"><b>A flash of white and chrome filled my peripheral vision as the bumper made contact with my left hip, sending me to the pavement with a wince and a yelp.</b></span></p><span style="color: #666666;"><b>
</b></span><p><span style="color: #666666;"><b>The good news was I wasn’t flattened by the thing. The nearly silent electric vehicles were programmed with collision avoidance tech that slowed them automatically in case of a sudden obstacle, which meant it hit me hard enough to knock me over but not hard enough to crush bones.</b></span></p><span style="color: #666666;"><b>
</b></span><p><span style="color: #666666;"><b>The bad news was I could already hear the shouting of the obviously perturbed operator through the van’s closed windows. No doubt the accident had surprised him as much as it had me.</b></span></p><span style="color: #666666;"><b>
</b></span><p><span style="color: #666666;"><b>He’d probably been relaxing in the back of the self-driving vehicle watching vids or reading when he’d felt the jolt and sudden stop. Now he was storming around to the front of it, spewing a stream of profanities.</b></span></p><span style="color: #666666;"><b>
</b></span><p><span style="color: #666666;"><b>“What the hell are you doing?” the van operator demanded. “Didn’t you see me coming?”</b></span></p><span style="color: #666666;"><b>
</b></span><p><span style="color: #666666;"><b>Before I could respond or get up on my own, a pair of strong hands slid beneath my arms. He picked me up off the ground and set me upright. I would have protested the invasion of my personal space, but it all happened too fast.</b></span></p><span style="color: #666666;"><b>
</b></span><p><span style="color: #666666;"><b>Brushing off the seat of my uniform, I tested my footing, lifting and wiggling one foot then the other.</b></span></p><span style="color: #666666;"><b>
</b></span><p><span style="color: #666666;"><b>The ache in my tailbone told me I would be sporting some very colorful bruises tomorrow, and my butt couldn’t have been any wetter if I’d cannonballed into a swimming pool. <i>Lovely.</i></b></span></p><span style="color: #666666;"><b>
</b></span><p><span style="color: #666666;"><b>“So are you okay? Say something.”</b></span></p><span style="color: #666666;"><b>
</b></span><p><span style="color: #666666;"><b>Anger still emanated off the guy in waves, but his deep voice now held a note of concern. What could I say? I felt like an idiot.</b></span></p><span style="color: #666666;"><b>
</b></span><p><span style="color: #666666;"><b>“Of course I saw you. I just thought getting run down would be a good way to score some tech augmentation in my lower limbs.”</b></span></p><span style="color: #666666;"><b>
</b></span><p><span style="color: #666666;"><b>I finally glanced up at the man– who hadn’t responded and was not laughing at my joke.</b></span></p><span style="color: #666666;"><b>
</b></span><p><span style="color: #666666;"><b>My hair was in my eyes, disheveled from my fall. I pushed it from my face, and the sight in front of me nearly knocked me backward again.</b></span></p><span style="color: #666666;"><b>
</b></span><p><span style="color: #666666;"><b>Technically, I supposed he was a man, but he was younger than I’d expected, close to my age.</b></span></p><span style="color: #666666;"><b>
</b></span><p><span style="color: #666666;"><b>He was big. And angry. His dark brows were drawn together tightly. It wasn’t the forbidding expression that stunned me. It was his eyes.</b></span></p><span style="color: #666666;"><b>
</b></span><p><span style="color: #666666;"><b>Their color was like nothing I’d ever seen before– a spellbinding combination of blue and green so beautiful, so piercing, it almost defied reality.</b></span></p><span style="color: #666666;"><b>
</b></span><p><span style="color: #666666;"><b>I was so mesmerized it took me a second to realize he was staring at me, too. He’d been in the middle of a question.</b></span></p><span style="color: #666666;"><b>
</b></span><p><span style="color: #666666;"><b>“So then you’re not hur–” but he’d broken off mid-word.</b></span></p><span style="color: #666666;"><b>
</b></span><p><span style="color: #666666;"><b>After a long pause during which he continued to stare at me like he’d never seen a girl before, he spoke again. “Your eyes. They’re brown.”</b></span></p><span style="color: #666666;"><b>
</b></span><p><span style="color: #666666;"><b>“Yeah…” I dragged the word out into a question. “… last time I checked.”</b></span></p><span style="color: #666666;"><b>
</b></span><p><span style="color: #666666;"><b>Something about his troubled expression struck a cord of recognition. I glanced from his incredible eyes to the shock of dark hair above them and down to the breadth of his shoulders then the rest of his tall, big boned frame and then at the name badge on the front left pocket of his company uniform.</b></span></p><span style="color: #666666;"><b>
</b></span><p><span style="color: #666666;"><b><i>Heath. </i></b></span></p><span style="color: #666666;"><b>
</b></span><p><span style="color: #666666;"><b>“Have we met before?”</b></span></p><span style="color: #666666;"><b>
</b></span><p><span style="color: #666666;"><b>The guy blinked rapidly and back-stepped toward the delivery van, his head moving in a tight, rapid shake.</b></span></p><span style="color: #666666;"><b>
</b></span><p><span style="color: #666666;"><b>“No, I don’t think so. You’re okay? You’re not hurt?”</b></span></p><span style="color: #666666;"><b>
</b></span><p><span style="color: #666666;"><b>He paused for my answer, but his back and shoulders were plastered against the front of the van like I was dipped in flu virus and he hadn’t had a vaccination in years.</b></span></p><span style="color: #666666;"><b>
</b></span><p><span style="color: #666666;"><b>The instant I said, “I’m fine,” the guy turned and climbed into the van. Within seconds it was whispering away down the road, the unmistakable Gideon Corp logo on its back doors shrinking then disappearing as the vehicle rounded the corner.</b></span></p><span style="color: #666666;"><b>
</b></span><p><span style="color: #666666;"><b><i>Oookay.</i> It was obvious why he was a delivery man for the world’s largest biotech company and not employed in some capacity where he might have been required to interact with actual humans on a regular basis.</b></span></p><span style="color: #666666;"><b>
</b></span><p><span style="color: #666666;"><b>Totally awkward.</b></span></p><span style="color: #666666;"><b>

ALYSE DEJUNE FLED Caldon to avoid becoming a pawn in her matriarch’s attempt to have the Dejunes remain a powerful First Family among their noblesse allies. She intends to seek refuge at her uncle’s legionary camp deep within the forest-covered wilderness of The Marches while he tries to patch things up between her and their matriarch. But even the best of plans can go awry, and Alyse’s does when she is captured by brigands. She believes they intend to hold her for ransom but soon learns they have a worse fate in store for her.<br /></span></b><span style="color: #783f04;">
<b><br />
RILL LARKIN FINALLY achieved his lifelong goal of becoming a mage even though he alienated his family and his best friend in the process. Now a mage serving the powerful Estati Family, he is part of a search party that intends to find Alyse and bring her back to Caldon—by force, if necessary. But Rill didn’t anticipate having to deal with a band of brigands who vastly outnumber his small group of pursuers or with a brigand leader who loathes the Dejunes. Those miscalculation have horrible, life-threatening consequences for Rill.</b></span></blockquote><span style="color: #783f04;"><b><br />

<span style="color: #783f04;">Dan Lutts, the author of <i>Charm Wars</i>, was brought up in Quincy, Massachusetts, and began addictively reading <i>Batman</i>, <i>Superman</i>, and <i>Wonder Woman</i> comic books at an early age, much to his mother's distress. In junior high school, he switched to reading science fiction novels. While in high school and college, he wrote science fiction short stories. <br />
<br />
Dan taught history and archaeology in high school for ten years. After being laid off because of budget cuts, he used his love of writing to retrain and became a software technical editor and writer. He worked for several computer companies, taught technical writing at the college level, and worked as a freelance writer.<br />
<br />
Dan loves to read and has varied tastes, including Young Adult, historical fiction, mysteries, 18th-century sea epics, and history. He especially enjoys Young Adult fiction and decided to try his hand at it. <i>Charm Wars</i>, Dan’s first novel, is the result.<br />
<br />
Dan lives in rural Maine with his wife, Lisa. When he’s not working or writing, Dan can be found reading, making and shooting medieval arrows with his longbow, or playing with his dog and two cats—all rescue animals. </span></b></p><p style="text-align: left;"><b><br /></b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #783f04;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://www.danlutts.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span style="color: #bf9000;">Website</span></a><span style="color: #bf9000;"> </span>- <a href="https://www.facebook.com/DanLuttsAuthor" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span style="color: #783f04;">Facebook</span></a> - <a href="https://twitter.com/DanLuttsAuthor" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span style="color: #bf9000;">Twitter</span></a> - <a href="https://www.instagram.com/danlutts/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span style="color: #783f04;">Instagram</span></a> - <a href="https://www.danlutts.com/newsletter" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span style="color: #bf9000;">Newsletter</span></a></span></b></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></b><br /></p><div align="center"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #bf9000;"><b>Giveaway</b></span></span></div><div align="center"><b><span style="color: #783f04;"><br /> </span></b></div><div align="center"><b><span style="color: #783f04;">There is a cover reveal wide giveaway for the blog tour of A Light in the Window.

Now, instead of prepping for the track season and upcoming start of basic training, she has to complete community service with the absolute last person she would ever want to be stuck with—the guy who shattered her future.</b></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #274e13;"><b>When two fierce competitors collide this hard, the only result is heartbreak…or an epic victory as they cross the finish line together.</b></span></p></blockquote><p> </p><span style="color: #274e13;"><b>

</b></span><p><span style="color: #274e13;"><b>“Preach!” Jessa said.</b></span></p><span style="color: #274e13;"><b>
</b></span><p><span style="color: #274e13;"><b>Something pushed me at the shoulder, sending a flare of pain up my neck.</b></span></p><span style="color: #274e13;"><b>
</b></span><p><span style="color: #274e13;"><b>“Preach!”</b></span></p><span style="color: #274e13;"><b>
</b></span><p><span style="color: #274e13;"><b>I batted at the hand pawing my shoulder as the scene fell into focus.</b></span></p><span style="color: #274e13;"><b>
</b></span><p><span style="color: #274e13;"><b>“Are you okay?” Jessa’s gray eyes were wide and her blond hair wild. Tears streamed down her face as her jaw tensed.</b></span></p><span style="color: #274e13;"><b>
</b></span><p><span style="color: #274e13;"><b>“Yeah. Yeah. You?” I sat up, fighting the urge to scream at the pain streaking down the side of my neck. “Is the girl okay? Where is she?”</b></span></p><span style="color: #274e13;"><b>
</b></span><p><span style="color: #274e13;"><b>“You’re cut.” Jessa reached for me.</b></span></p><span style="color: #274e13;"><b>
</b></span><p><span style="color: #274e13;"><b>I grabbed her hand. “Are you okay?” Jessa was one of my best friends. I couldn’t handle it if she was hurt.</b></span></p><span style="color: #274e13;"><b>
</b></span><p><span style="color: #274e13;"><b>She nodded. “Let’s go check on the girl.”</b></span></p><span style="color: #274e13;"><b>
</b></span><p><span style="color: #274e13;"><b>My stomach hollowed out. I’d hit someone. I hit a person.</b></span></p><span style="color: #274e13;"><b>
</b></span><p><span style="color: #274e13;"><b>What if I killed her? This was not happening. Could not be happening. I yanked my seat belt off and shoved the deflating airbag to the side enough to find the door handle. My head swam, and my vision tilted, but I blew it off. I had to help the girl.</b></span></p><span style="color: #274e13;"><b>
</b></span><p><span style="color: #274e13;"><b>She was all that mattered right now.</b></span></p><span style="color: #274e13;"><b>
</b></span><p><span style="color: #274e13;"><b>“What was she doing in the middle of the road like that?” I yelled.</b></span></p><span style="color: #274e13;"><b>
</b></span><p><span style="color: #274e13;"><b>“I don’t know! Come on!” Jessa said.</b></span></p><span style="color: #274e13;"><b>
</b></span><p><span style="color: #274e13;"><b>My head spun as I fumbled with the door handle, and a wave of nausea threatened to pull me under. Finally, I managed to get out of the Jeep and hustled around the front. My hood was right up against the car the girl was standing near, so I was blocked. I bolted around the back end to find Jessa leaning over a sprawled-out girl.</b></span></p><span style="color: #274e13;"><b>
</b></span><p><span style="color: #274e13;"><b>“Hey. Are you okay?” she asked.</b></span></p><span style="color: #274e13;"><b>
</b></span><p><span style="color: #274e13;"><b>The girl was lying on her back, auburn hair splayed all over the ground, a deep contrast to the thin layer of white snow coating everything. The girl held something furry in her left arm tight to her chest.</b></span></p><span style="color: #274e13;"><b>
</b></span><p><span style="color: #274e13;"><b>She was wearing a maroon GORE-TEX jacket, tight black leggings, and what looked to be running shoes. She couldn’t have been out here running, could she? No, no way. It was freezing and the streets were coated with ice.</b></span></p><span style="color: #274e13;"><b>
</b></span><p><span style="color: #274e13;"><b>“Is she dead?” I asked, praying like hell that she wasn’t. <i>Please don’t be dead. Please…</i></b></span></p><span style="color: #274e13;"><b>
</b></span><p><span style="color: #274e13;"><b>Her eyes flung open, and she gasped.</b></span></p><span style="color: #274e13;"><b>
</b></span><p><span style="color: #274e13;"><b>The bundle in her arms wiggled and let out a high-pitched bark. How the heck had she held onto a freaking dog while getting hit by a car?</b></span></p><span style="color: #274e13;"><b>
</b></span><p><span style="color: #274e13;"><b>“Oh my gosh!” Jessa gasped.</b></span></p><span style="color: #274e13;"><b>
</b></span><p><span style="color: #274e13;"><b>“You’re okay,” the girl said, looking at the dog. “Thank goodness.” She stroked the dog, then sat up suddenly. “Wait, where’s my car?”</b></span></p><span style="color: #274e13;"><b>
</b></span><p><span style="color: #274e13;"><b>Jessa pointed to an embankment to my left. “Is one of those yours?”</b></span></p><span style="color: #274e13;"><b>
</b></span><p><span style="color: #274e13;"><b>“Son of a bitch!”</b></span></p><span style="color: #274e13;"><b>
</b></span><p><span style="color: #274e13;"><b>I’d collided with both vehicles, but the Ford SUV got most of the damage. The front end had crumpled and the windows were smashed.</b></span></p><span style="color: #274e13;"><b>
</b></span><p><span style="color: #274e13;"><b>“You wrecked my car!” She sat up, holding the dog, her glare ripping a hole through my chest.</b></span></p><span style="color: #274e13;"><b>
</b></span><p><span style="color: #274e13;"><b>“I’m so sorry,” I said. “Are you okay? Are you hurt?”</b></span></p><span style="color: #274e13;"><b>
</b></span><p><span style="color: #274e13;"><b>“Well, I don’t see any blood.” She held up a hand and wiggled her pointer and middle fingers. “Oh, ouch! I can’t move my wrist.” She held it close to her chest, her fingers directly next to the little dog’s face. “I can’t feel my fingers. They’re tingly.”</b></span></p><span style="color: #274e13;"><b>
</b></span><p><span style="color: #274e13;"><b>My gut clenched. A wave of jittery energy coursed through my legs, and I was pretty sure they were going to give out. The adrenaline crash was hitting hard, and the world tilted slightly. A headache bloomed at the base of my skull. It knocked, hard, too, like Wind was taking slap shots at my head.</b></span></p><span style="color: #274e13;"><b>
</b></span><p><span style="color: #274e13;"><b>“I’m going to call 911,” Jessa said.</b></span></p><span style="color: #274e13;"><b>
</b></span><p><span style="color: #274e13;"><b>Jessa helped the girl, who looked like she was about our age, to a seated position a few feet away from me. We were on the shoulder of the road, next to my Jeep, so Jessa propped her against the front passenger-side wheel. The bundle of fur wiggled in her grasp.</b></span></p><span style="color: #274e13;"><b>
</b></span><p><span style="color: #274e13;"><b>“This little guy needs some attention. Found him on the road.”</b></span></p><span style="color: #274e13;"><b>
</b></span><p><span style="color: #274e13;"><b>“Ryan, your head!” Jessa was suddenly in my face, examining me. “Let me see.”</b></span></p><span style="color: #274e13;"><b>
</b></span><p><span style="color: #274e13;"><b>A wave of pain swept over me, and it felt like I’d been kicked in the stomach. This was not good. Not good at all. It was after midnight, which meant we were all out driving past the state-mandated curfew, and here we were, sitting on the side of the road, two banged-up cars.<br /></b></span>

<br />
After defeating Lucifer and sacrificing the love of her life, Jack, Schuyler
wakes up back in New York safe and sound. Only it’s not quite the New York she
knows, and she’s not in her regular body. She looks different and feels
different and so does everyone else. Schuyler soon discovers that in this
world, her best friend has a different last name, her parents are both alive
and well and one of them is an entirely different person, and the love of her
life? Not so dead after all. The catch? Jack has no idea who she is.<br />
<br />
As it turns out, Schuyler is not in her New York. She’s not even in her
universe. This is an alternate reality. One where Lucifer is alive and well and
acting as mayor of New York, Blue Bloods are luring humans to clinics to drain
their blood, and Jack is Lucifer’s right hand man. Just when she thinks all is
lost, Schuyler is contacted by a familiar friend―the Silver Blood, Kingsley.
The Kingsley from her world. He actually remembers the Schuyler she used to be!
But he also has a theory, and it’s one she doesn’t like. That Schuyler was sent
here to defeat Lucifer. Again. And that she’s the only person in this universe
or any universe that can defeat him.<o:p></o:p></span></b></span></p><span style="color: #444444;"><b>

Bank was a decrepit stone building at the tail end of Houston Street,
on the last divide between the gritty East Village and the wilds of the
Lower East Side. Once the headquarters of the venerable Van Alen
investment and brokerage house, it was an imposing, squat presence, a
paradigm of the beaux-arts style, with a classic six-column façade and
an intimidating row of “dentals”— razor-sharp serrations on the
pediment’s surface. For many years it stood on the corner of Houston
and Essex, desolate, empty, and abandoned, until one winter evening
when an eye-patch–wearing nightclub promoter chanced upon it after
polishing off a hot dog at Katz’s Deli. He was looking for a venue to
showcase the new music his DJs were spinning—a dark, haunted sound they
were calling “Trance.” </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #444444;"><b>The pulsing music spilled out to the
sidewalk, where Schuyler Van Alen, a small, dark-haired
fifteen-year-old girl, whose bright blue eyes were ringed with dark kohl
eye shadow, stood nervously at the back of the line in front of the
club. She picked at her chipping black nail polish. “Do you really
think we’ll get in?” she asked. </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #444444;"><b>“No sweat,” her best friend,
Oliver Hazard-Perry replied, cocking an eyebrow. “Dylan guaranteed a
cakewalk. Besides, we can always point to the plaque over there. Your
family built this place, remember?” He grinned. </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #444444;"><b>“So what else is
new?” Schuyler smirked, rolling her eyes. The island of Manhattan was
linked inexorably to her family history, and as far as she could tell,
she was related to the Frick Museum, the Van Wyck Expressway, and the
Hayden Planetarium, give or take an institution (or major thoroughfare)
or two. Not that it made any difference in her life. She barely had
enough to cover the twenty-five dollar charge at the door. </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #444444;"><b>Oliver affectionately swung an arm around her shoulders. “Stop worrying! You worry too much. This’ll be fun, I promise.” </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #444444;"><b>“I
wish Dylan had waited for us,” Schuyler fretted, shivering in her long
black cardigan with holes in each elbow. She’d found the sweater in a
Manhattan Valley thrift store last week. It smelled like decay and
stale rosewater per fume, and her skinny frame was lost in its
voluminous folds. Schuyler always looked like she was drowning in
fabric. The black sweater reached almost to her calves, and underneath
she wore a sheer black T-shirt over a worn gray thermal undershirt; and
under that, a long peasant skirt that swept the floor. Like a
nineteenth century street urchin, her skirt hems were black with dirt
from dragging on the sidewalks. She was wearing her favorite pair of
black-and-white Jack Purcell sneakers, the ones with the duct-taped
hole on the right toe. Her dark wavy hair was pulled back with a beaded
scarf she’d found in her grandmother’s closet. </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #444444;"><b>Schuyler was
startlingly pretty, with a sweet, heart shaped face; a perfectly
upturned nose; and soft, porcelain skin—but there was something almost
insubstantial about her beauty. She looked like a Dresden doll in
witch’s clothing. Kids at the Duchesne School thought she dressed like a
Dickensian urchin. It didn’t help that she was painfully shy and kept
to herself, because then they just thought she was stuck-up, which she
wasn’t. She was just quiet. </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #444444;"><b>Oliver was tall and slim, with a
fair, elfin face that was framed by a shag of brilliant chestnut hair.
He had sharp cheekbones and sympathetic hazel eyes. He was wearing a
severe military greatcoat over a flannel shirt and a pair of holey blue
jeans. Of course, the flannel shirt was John Varvatos and the jeans
from Citizens of Humanity. Oliver liked to play the part of disaffected
youth, but he liked shopping in SoHo even more. </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #444444;"><b>The two of them
had been best friends ever since the second grade, when Schuyler’s
nanny forgot to pack her lunch one day, and Oliver had given her half
of his lettuce and mayo sandwich. They finished each other’s sentences
and liked to read aloud from random pages of Infinite Jest when they
were bored. Both were Duchesne legacy kids who traced their ancestry
back to the Mayflower. Schuyler counted six U.S. presidents in her
family tree alone. But even with their prestigious pedigrees, they
didn’t fit in at Duchesne. Oliver preferred museums to lacrosse, and
Schuyler never cut her hair and wore things from consignment shops. </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #444444;"><b>Dylan
Ward was a new friend—a sad-faced boy with long lashes, smoldering
eyes, and a tarnished reputation. Supposedly, he had a rap sheet and
had just been sprung from military school. His grandfather had
reportedly bribed Duchesne with funds for a new gym to let him </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #444444;"><b>enroll. He had immediately gravitated toward Schuyler and Oliver, recognizing their similar misfit status. </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #444444;"><b>Schuyler
sucked in her cheeks and felt a pit of anxiety forming in her stomach.
They’d been so comfortable just hanging out in Oliver’s room as usual,
listening to music and flipping through the offerings on his TiVo;
Oliver booting up another game of Vice City on the split screen, while
she rifled through the pages of glossy magazines, fantasizing that she,
too, was lounging on a raft in Sardinia, dancing the flamenco in
Madrid, or wandering pensively through the streets of Bombay. </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #444444;"><b>“I’m
not sure about this,” she said, wishing they were back in his cozy
room instead of shivering outside on the sidewalk, waiting to see if
they would pass muster at the door. “Don’t be so negative,” Oliver
chastised. It had been his idea to leave the comfort of his room to
brave the New York nightlife, and he didn’t want to regret it. “If you
think we’ll get in, we’ll get in. It’s all about confidence, trust me.”
Just then, his BlackBerry beeped. He pulled it out of his pocket and
checked the screen. “It’s Dylan. He’s inside, he’ll meet us by the
windows on the second floor. Okay?” </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #444444;"><b>“Do I really look all right?” she asked, feeling suddenly doubtful about her clothes. </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #444444;"><b>“You look fine,” he replied automatically. “You look great,” he said, as his thumbs jabbed a reply on the plastic device. </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #444444;"><b>“You’re not even looking at me.” </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #444444;"><b>“I
look at you every day.” Oliver laughed, meeting her eye, then
uncharacteristically blushing and looking away. His BlackBerry beeped
again, and this time he excused himself, walking away to answer it. </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #444444;"><b>Across
the street, Schuyler saw a cab pull up to the curb, and a tall blond
guy stepped out of it. Just as he emerged, another cab barreled down
the street on the opposite side. It was swerving recklessly, and at
first it looked like it would miss him, but at the last moment, the boy
threw himself in its path and disappeared underneath its wheels. The
taxicab never even stopped, just kept going as if nothing happened. </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #444444;"><b>“Oh my God!” Schuyler screamed. </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #444444;"><b>The guy had been hit—she was sure of it—he’d been run over—he was surely dead. </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #444444;"><b>“Did
you see that?” she asked, frantically looking around for Oliver, who
seemed to have disappeared. Schuyler ran across the street, fully
expecting to see a dead body, but the boy was standing right in front
of her, counting the change in his wallet. He slammed the door shut and
sent his taxi on its way. He was whole and unhurt. </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #444444;"><b>“You should be dead,” she whispered. </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #444444;"><b>“Excuse
me?” he asked, a quizzical smile on his face. Schuyler was a little
taken aback—she recognized him from school. It was Jack Force. The
famous Jack Force. One of those guys—head of the lacrosse team, lead in
the school play, his term paper on shopping malls published in Wired,
so handsome she couldn’t even meet his eye. </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #444444;"><b>Maybe she was
dreaming things. Maybe she just thought she’d seen him dive in front of
the cab. That had to be it. She was just tired. </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #444444;"><b>“I didn’t know you were a dazehead,” she blurted awkwardly, meaning a Trance acolyte. </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #444444;"><b>“I’m
not, actually. I’m headed over there,” he explained, motioning to the
club next door to The Bank, where a very intoxicated rock star was
steering several giggling groupies past the velvet rope. </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #444444;"><b>Schuyler blushed. “Oh, I should have known.” He smiled at her kindly. “Why?” </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #444444;"><b>“Why what?” </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #444444;"><b>“Why apologize? How would you have known that? You read minds or something?” he asked. </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #444444;"><b>“Maybe I do. And maybe it’s an off day.” She smiled. </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #444444;"><b>He
was flirting with her, and she was flirting back. Okay, so it was
definitely just her imagination. He had totally not thrown himself in
front of the cab. </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #444444;"><b>She was surprised he was being so friendly.
Most of the guys at Duchesne were so stuck-up, Schuyler didn’t bother
with them. They were all the same—with their Duck Head chinos and their
guarded nonchalance, their bland jokes and their lacrosse field
jackets. She’d never given Jack Force more than a fleeting thought—he
was a junior, from the planet Popular; they might go to the same school
but they hardly breathed the same air. And after all, his twin sister
was the indomitable Mimi Force, whose one goal in life was to make
everyone else’s miserable. “On your way to a funeral?” “Who died and
made you homeless?” were some of Mimi’s unimaginative insults directed
her way. Where was Mimi, anyway? Weren’t the Force twins joined at the
hip? </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #444444;"><b>“Listen, you want to come in?” Jack asked, smiling and
showing his even, straight teeth. “I’m a member.” Before she could
respond, Oliver materialized at her side. Where had he come from?
Schuyler wondered. And how did he keep doing that? Oliver demonstrated a
keen ability to suddenly show up the minute you didn’t want him there.
“There you are, my dear,” he said, with a hint of reproach. Schuyler
blinked. “Hey, Ollie. Do you know Jack?” “Who doesn’t?” Oliver replied,
pointedly ignoring him. “Babe, you coming?” he demanded in a
proprietary tone. “They’re finally letting people in.” He motioned to
The Bank, where a steady stream of black-clad teenagers were being
herded through the fluted columns. </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #444444;"><b>“I should go,” she said apologetically. </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #444444;"><b>“So
soon?” Jack asked, his eyes dancing again. “Not soon enough,” Oliver
added, smiling threateningly. Jack shrugged. “See you around, Schuyler,”
he said, pulling up the collar on his tweed coat and walking in the
opposite direction. </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #444444;"><b>“Some people,” Oliver complained, as they
rejoined their line. He crossed his arms and looked annoyed. Schuyler
was silent, her heart fluttering in her chest. Jack Force knew her name.
</b></span></p><p><span style="color: #444444;"><b>They inched forward, ever closer to the drag queen with the
clipboard glaring imperiously behind the velvet rope. The Elvira clone
sized up each group with a withering stare, but no one was turned away.
</b></span></p><p><span style="color: #444444;"><b>“Now, remember, if they give us any trouble, just be cool and
think positive. You have to visualize us getting in, okay?” Oliver
whispered fiercely. </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #444444;"><b>Schuyler nodded. They walked forward, but
their progress was interrupted by a bouncer holding up a big meaty paw.
“IDs!” he barked. </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #444444;"><b>With shaking fingers, Schuyler retrieved a
driver’s license with someone else’s name—but her own picture— on its
laminated surface. Oliver did the same. She bit her lip. </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #444444;"><b>She was
so going to get caught and thrown in jail for this. But she remembered
what Oliver had said. Be cool. Confident. Think positive. </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #444444;"><b>The
bouncer waved their IDs under an infrared machine, which didn’t beep.
He paused, frowning, and held their IDs up for inspection, giving the
two of them a doubtful look. </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #444444;"><b>Schuyler tried to project a calm
she didn’t feel, her heart beating fast underneath her thin layers. Of
course I look twenty-one. I’ve been here before. There is absolutely
nothing wrong with that ID, she thought. </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #444444;"><b>The bouncer slid it
under the machine again. The big man shook his head. “This isn’t
right,” he muttered. Oliver looked at Schuyler, his face pale. Schuyler
thought she was going to faint. She had never been so nervous in her
life. Minutes ticked by. People behind them in line made impatient
noises. </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #444444;"><b>Nothing wrong with that ID. Cool and confident. Cool and
confident. She visualized the bouncer waving them through, the two of
them entering the club. LET US IN. LET US IN. LET US IN. JUST LET US
IN! </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #444444;"><b>The bouncer looked up, startled, almost as if he’d heard
her. It felt as though time had stopped. Then, just like that, he
returned their cards and waved them forward, just as Schuyler had
pictured. </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #444444;"><b>Schuyler exhaled. She and Oliver exchanged a restrained look of glee. </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #444444;"><b>They were inside.</b></span></p><p><span style="color: #444444;"><b> </b></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #990000;"><b><span face=""Calibri",sans-serif" style="mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">About Melissa</span></b></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #444444;"><b><span face=""Calibri",sans-serif" style="mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;"><a href="https://melissa-delacruz.com/" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="2428" data-original-width="1821" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRsr4BDnVanLyn-H-tLaKbqv1rxGkHOb1I4yxL_kZtoZjFpIwyNDtARno4sr7-Wj3AawEqxnah0haU4M5vcSv7zoD05X4xVyFgxuGBQUHCCOc1NxuF4BBtTXi_yMZB8jmU7CFdT9C7NpgKFyODjPbIRdX_QwS50qbTdU83gk29YdYOqkqj-eZLvMkNOw/w150-h200/Melissa%20de%20la%20Cruz%20%C2%A9%20Maria%20Cina.jpeg" width="150" /></a></span></b></span></div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #444444;"><b><span face=""Calibri",sans-serif" style="background: white none repeat scroll 0% 0%; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-color-alt: windowtext; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;"> </span></b></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #444444;"><b><span face=""Calibri",sans-serif" style="background: white none repeat scroll 0% 0%; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-latin; mso-color-alt: windowtext; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;">Melissa de la Cruz is the author of

<p><span style="color: #444444;"><b>My name’s Baily King and I’ve always considered myself different—liking dead roses, cemeteries, reading fully clothed in the bathtub, and howling at the moon whilst dancing naked under it. But, when my grandma, a woman I scarcely remember, comes for a visit, she opens her mouth and my weird world crashes down all over my combat-booted feet.</b></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #444444;"><b>See, dear Gram is dying and wishes for me to accept my royal name. Turns out she finally left a small village south of Ireland—a village that her and her husband rule. Pfft. No pressure.</b></span></p>

into her coffee. Everyone turns chipper when they see such a pretty man
then they turn bitter when said pretty person leaves. I know from
experience. </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #444444;"><b>“Dimitri,” I growl. </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #444444;"><b>He smiles. “Yes, thank
you.” Coming back over to me, he gives me a smug, beyond-sexy smile.
Hell, I bet when this man sneezes, it’s still bloody attractive.
“Baily?” </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #444444;"><b>I cross my arms over my chest. </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #444444;"><b>“Will you please
let me—Dimitri, your friend—do something nice for you? Something friends
are allowed to do, even in the South?” </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #444444;"><b>I narrow my eyes, but when he just stands there, I give in. “Fine,” I grumble, holding my hand out. </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #444444;"><b>He
makes a circular motion with his finger, signaling for me to turn
around. With a huff, I do. “Every now and then…” he rumbles in my ear,
and I tense when gooseflesh rises on my skin. It’s eighty-degrees, I’m
sweating like a pig, but in this moment, I don’t mind the body heat
radiating off him. What is this sorcery? “You deserve something for
yourself. I’ve only known you for a short time, and in that time, you’ve
only thought of others. Promise me you’ll think of yourself upon
occasion, too.” </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #444444;"><b>“I make no such promise,” I grumble, turning back to face him. “But thank you.” </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #444444;"><b>“Aww,” the girl behind the register says. “I wish my boyfriend did something like that for me.” </b></span></p><p><span style="color: #444444;"><b>I
smile at her, not in the mood to try to explain he’s not my boyfriend
but bodyguard. Because my grandma’s kinda a queen of a village called
MacAleese, which is on the south side of Ireland and I’m of the royal
family. I just didn’t know about it until…bam, you’re a freakin’
princess, wear your tiara and shut up. Yeah, that might make someone ask
a few questions or draw a little bit of unwanted attention.</b></span></p><p><span style="color: #444444;"><b> </b></span></p><span style="color: #444444;"><b>

<p><span style="color: #783f04;"><b>Gage runs the L’Griffe, AKA the dragon shifter mafia on Earth. Since the human realm has no supernatural police, the L’Griffe do more than loan money or sell contraband. When it comes to dragon shifters, the L’Griffe <i>are</i> the law. And Gage isn’t the only sheriff in town, either. Other secret groups have their own gangs, including ghouls, demons, and everything in between. It’s an awkward balance, but it works.</b></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #783f04;"><b>Until the demons consolidate into<i> the Horde. </i>This alliance plans to take over Earth, and that’s just for starters.</b></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #783f04;"><b>Now Gage must build his own connections to fight this new threat. Fortunately, Gage’s true love, Huntress, comes from a family of superhuman warriors. All of them agree to team up and put down the Horde. Success seems just around the corner.</b></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #783f04;"><b>Then the truth becomes clear.</b></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #783f04;"><b>Thanks to magical cloning, the Horde is led by an old enemy of Huntress ’family—one that everyone thought had been destroyed forever. Now their archnemesis is back and more powerful than anyone could have imagined.</b></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #783f04;"><b>Looks like defeating these demons may also destroy Gage, Huntress, and everyone they love.</b></span></p>

prize match kicks off in twenty-three minutes. Anticipation zings
through my limbs. To relieve tension, I jog in place while popping my
boxing gloves together. A long tunnel opens before me, ending with a
rowdy crowd of ghouls. Their chants echo all around. </b></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #783f04;"><b>“Fight! Fight! Fight!” </b></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #783f04;"><b>Normally,
ghouls are pretty chill. It all goes with being super-tall, pale and
undead. Only wearing long black robes also seems to keep them calm. But
even ghouls lose their collective minds during the infamous Undead
Rumble. Why? There’s a championship belt at stake. </b></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #783f04;"><b>“FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!” </b></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #783f04;"><b>The
room is an underground chamber carved out from open earth.
Inspirational posters cover the walls, telling the population to Love
the Oligarchy or Adore Paperwork. Classic ghoul stuff. Tiered metal
risers are filled with ghouls, all of them in their dark robes. They
cheer madly at an empty boxing ring. </b></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #783f04;"><b>The cries grow even louder
as the announcer steps out from a nearby access tunnel. She pauses in a
pool of light at the center of the boxing ring. A microphone dangles
from a long cord that’s attached to the ceiling. </b></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #783f04;"><b>The announcer
grabs the mic. She’s a skeletal figure who wears the classic black robes
common to all ghouls. Her skull appears to be covered in a thin layer
of gray skin. </b></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #783f04;"><b>“Welcome to the Undead Rumble!” Beams of red light shine out from the announcer’s eye sockets. </b></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #783f04;"><b>The crowd cheers. It’s a good thing they’re dead, because this much yelling might kill someone. </b></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #783f04;"><b>The
announcer continues. “This isn’t a fight with a champion who’s an angel
from Heaven… a quasi-demon of Purgatory… a thrax of Antrum… a human
from Earth… a dragon </b></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #783f04;"><b>shifter from Furonium… or even a demon of
Hell! This is a fight where the champion is our very own undead warrior,
Ghoul Killa!” </b></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #783f04;"><b>Crowd keeps yelling, only they begin punching
their fists in the air while jumping up and down. The audience loves the
idea that a ghoul is the baddest of the badasses. Mostly because it
never happens. Ghouls are notorious wimps. </b></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #783f04;"><b>“Tonight, GK goes up against Gage L’Griffe, the new glass dragon king!” </b></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #783f04;"><b>I
tilt my head. Am I hearing that right? Glass dragoon king? Huntress and
I shared a kiss a few months ago, but that only made us bonded mates,
not crowned royalty. And even if we did gain our official thrones, it’s
not like it’s a big deal. There are all of six glass dragons left. </b></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #783f04;"><b>Why would anyone think my possible kingship is a big deal?</b></span></p><p><span style="color: #783f04;"><b><br class="blank" /></b></span></p><span style="color: #783f04;"><b>
