Description
Follow
Ella through self-discovery, first love, tragedy and sacrifice in this
paranormal romance.
After a
fatal hit and run accident, Ella Monroe fears that she’s lost more than her
beloved parents. Horrifying visions of a past life and a disturbing voice in
her head have psychiatric professionals convinced that she’s lost her sanity as
well. But when Kale--a dark and handsome stranger with a mysterious past--reveals
the true meaning of her visions and the tremendous power she wields through
them, Ella must come to terms with the devastating truths of her own past,
while eluding an ancient Dark Prince who seeks to control not only her future,
but all of mankind’s, by means of abilities that Ella is only beginning to
understand.
Enter
the shrouded world of an age old battle between an ancient race known as the
Immortals and their bitter enemy Laurent, the so-called Dark Prince, who
commands an army of half-breed vampires known as Chorý. Both sides have been
desperately searching for the prophesied emergence of the Arc, a clairvoyant
with unparalleled power to recall the past and a soothsayer with clear vision
into the future.
The
Council of Immortals has sworn to protect the Arc, whom they have identified as
young Ella Monroe, a college freshman from Virginia living quietly and unaware
of her powers or her past. But a renegade Chorý has other plans for the
protection of a girl he has loved through the ages. Can Kale convince Ella of
who she is, what she is destined to become, and what he once meant to her? Is
he truly the best protector to shield the world from the devastating misuse of
her powers that Laurent is bent on controlling? Or will the forbidden love they
share and Kale’s cursed condition as a retched and hated Chorý be used against
them both?
This
paranormal romance told from the heroine’s perspective builds in intensity and
intrigue to a finale you won’t see coming. Heart pounding action mixed with
heartwarming friendships and heartbreaking romance will leave you breathless
and begging for more.
EXCERPT
“I want to untie you, but I don’t
want to regret doing so. Can we agree that everyone will behave?” I looked at
Kale, but all I received was a shrug and another grumble.
Jace’s blue eyes were glued to Kale.
“Ella, when I am untied, I will
do whatever I can to take you back to the Council. I won’t have this creature
infect you.” Kale straightened up and
moved closer to us.
“Over my dead body.” Jace’s slow, chilling smile revealed his
white teeth. Though it was beautiful, it freaked me out.
“Then it should be easy,
Nosferat, seeing as how your heart no longer beats.” Jace looked at Kale as if
he would attack the first chance he got.
At this rate, I would never be able to get Kale and Jace to work
together. Maybe Kale was right. We might be better off fending for ourselves
against Laurent.
“You mistake the fact you are
still alive for weakness on my part, but I warn you that as soon she sees you
are not a necessary factor for her survival, I will finish what we started
years ago, Vesco,” Kale spat, with such malice that halfway through his words I
turned around to face him, not at all liking what I saw. His face was now
plagued by hard lines, and his eyes, though they were always dark, were
darkened with loathing. I hardly recognized him. I didn't want to believe Kale
would truly kill Jace or anyone for that matter.
“Stop, Kale, you wouldn’t,” I
whispered. I searched his face for the Kale I knew. I understood the Council
and vampires were enemies, but I couldn't see Kale killing Jace. It was probably
my naivety that pushed the idea that Kale was harmless.
“Yes, he would, Ella,” Jace said, pulling my attention back to his blue eyes. “It’s what he is—a murderer fashioned only to steal what humans cannot live without and to spread his disease. He was created by the Dark Prince. No matter how long he tries to deny his nature by drinking from rats and squirrels, he will always be a threat to you and all others. Even more so because he can walk in the light.
My plan to unite them to help me
went right out the window. My body went
cold, and I sat there wondering why I’d even tried in the first place. Anger started to boil inside me, and I gave
in to it.
“Bullshit!” I yelled.
“This is pure and utter bullshit.”
I stood so fast that I almost lost my footing.
Kale reached out to me, catching
my arm and righting me quickly. I
snatched my arm from him and ignored his questioning eyes. I turned back to
Jace. I looked him directly in his eyes to get his full attention.
“You both say you want to protect
me, and that’s fine. Even though I have
no clue of what’s going on in the full scheme of things, I am willing to let
you both protect me, but understand this. If you two cannot figure out how to
get along long enough for us to make a plan—other than taking me to the
Council—I will do this without either of you!”
I shouted, as my anger reached a crescendo. “Also, I want to know everything, not just
what you two think I should know.” I
gave Kale a pointed look.
He looked back at me with
emotionless eyes. I hated when he
blocked his feelings from me. I gave mine so freely to him. That fueled my anger further, but Jace’s calm
voice slowly brought me down.
“What is it you propose we do?”
Jace asked. “I can only assume from your
tirade that he has told you a few things about your past. The fact that you are only upset about that
also tells me he hasn’t told you why the Dark Prince has yet to find you.”
We both looked at Kale waiting
for him to speak.
“Your silence, Nosferat, confirms
that you have not told her the fire at the Ocean Trace facility was your
doing.”
I looked at Kale, confused. I had
told him about my time in a facility, but I hadn’t told him where it was.
“I told you I was here to protect
you, Ella. I just never told you when that protection started,” Kale explained
and reached for me.
I was tempted to take his hand
because it wasn’t often that he offered his touch, but I ignored it. “Wait, are
you saying you knew me before that first night we met?”
“Yes, I knew you in your last
past life.”
Jace scoffed. “That is not what
she meant, vampire.”
I couldn't understand why Kale
was dancing around my question.
“Let’s go outside,” Kale said,
turning toward the door before I could answer.
“She will freeze out there. I am sure she is already cold, especially
seeing how the cold sadness of lies and betrayals has found her here tonight.”
Though Jace’s clever remark
didn't seem to affect Kale, it stung me.
The words lies and betrayals slapped me in the face, waking me from the
stupid dream state I had allowed myself to slip into.
“Ella, I have watched you for as
long as the Council has believed you are the next Arc—before your parents’
death until now,” Kale said sadly, as the trust that we had developed between
us started to fade.
I had been nothing but honest
with him. I’d snuck around to see him, which put a strain on Alex’s faith in
me. But I couldn't truly blame Kale. Trusting a stranger with my secrets when I
had promised myself I would never do that again was my fault. With that in mind, I walked over to Jace and
untied his knots.
“Do not make me regret this. I have enough of those; I don’t need any
more,” I said, looking at them both. We
needed to make a plan of action, but we couldn't do that until I was told
everything.
