SNEAK PEEK

My wrists were cuffed behind me, my ankle restraint diffusing any supernatural
abilities I possessed as I was marched up a winding dark crystal staircase, through
massive rooms and down long hallways before reaching enormous, intricately carved
double doors.

They opened to another futuristic-ancient mashup style of what looked to be a throne room
complete with a jewel encrusted seat on the raised silver dais. But it was the imposing man
who sat on it that made my stomach sink.

He was exactly as I remembered him from my nightmares with his red gleaming hair that
reached to his shoulders, deadly cobalt blue eyes, and the thin hooked scar on his
deceptively handsome face, looking no older than his early thirties. His armor-like clothes
were black and sleek, and a single dark band sat around his head.

I didn’t realize I had halted until one of the soldiers shoved me hard from behind with the
butt of his weapon. I whipped my head around to sneer at him. Not intimidated, he motioned for
me to walk forward, stopping me just before I reached the wide platform steps.

I glared up at the High Ruler of Iroment standing above me. I had no doubt who he was,
what he was to me. We looked too much alike to deny it.

“Daughter,” Lydon tel-Mortem greeted, a cruel smile curving his lips.

“Evil father,” I returned.

“I’ve been expecting you,” he said. “My thanks. You are right on time.”

On time?

His grin widened, reading my confusion. That’s when all the puzzle pieces snapped into place,
stopping my breath.

There had been no accidents, no mishaps or coincidences. This man was a brilliant strategist
even by Nomian super-genius standards. He had planned everything to happen exactly as it did,
accurately predicting every move of every pawn and rook and knight and queen he ingeniously
placed on the chessboard, including myself.

We were all fooled.

I, most of all. Because I should have expected this of him. My mother had warned me. He
was the lethal hunter of my worst nightmares after all.

And I was his prized prey—finally caught.

Through me he would gain the crown of Umbrey and topple the balance of powers. Now he
could become the ultimate ruler of Noma, and his first dictate would be to kill off a third of
this world’s population. Those remaining he planned to control with an iron rod and a cold heart,
and there was nothing I could do about it.

Unless I could somehow figure out a way to escape him.

Then I would work to make everything right again.

I owed it to my people, my worlds, both old and new.

But in order to do this, I needed to take a hard look at where I went wrong, my first step
forward that led me further and further into his final trap. And I realized it was the afternoon
of my birthday, the day I finally stopped looking over my shoulder and ignorantly let my guard down.

Guarded Heart

     But in the process of sending her military guardian to rescue Marie, Andee falls down the dimensional rabbit hole and finds herself in Noma instead--alone.

     Not in the modern metropolis of Umbrey she aimed for either, but in the wilds of neutral territory.

    There she's captured by a band of rebels led by a young, attractive mountain man who determines to find out who this young foreign woman really is.  And Leotner c-Tallega doesn't plan to release Andee until she divulges her true identity--tempting her ways that makes her want to confess to all kinds of things she didn't do.
