Seventeen-year-old Kay’s journey
of a lifetime started in the woods where she met a beautiful man … along with a
monster. The chance encounter led her to an unbelievable world that shouldn’t
have existed, a place where myths and fairytales were real and, in some cases,
deadly.
Kay knew she would have to brave
this new world if she hoped to find a cure for her terminal cancer.
With a strange yet beautiful cast
of characters, Kay uncovered truths that would change her life forever.
However, before it was all over, she discovered she wasn’t the only one with
problems.
Yet another seventeen-year-old
young woman was fighting for her life.
Kira had grown up in a magical
world. Despite this, her life had not been filled with many good things. She
considered her empty, emotional solitude the only positive aspect of her life
and fought daily battles to escape abuse and torture.
Trained to be an expert assassin,
she was charged with kidnapping Kay and delivering her to Kira’s master, Lord
Donovan.
As the two young women set forth
on their journeys, their paths would cross in unimaginable ways. There was only
one question that remained: who would come out alive?

The journey continues …
Kay discovered secrets, lies,
shocking truths, and even love in a strange new world hidden from humans.
Everything she thought she knew was turned upside down when she found out three
things: she wasn’t human; she had a power she couldn’t control; and there was a
possibility she might have found a way to cure her deadly cancer by using that
very same power.
Just when she was on the
precipice of gaining everything she wanted and saving her own life, tragedy
struck. Would she be able to fight her way back to Ryan and save herself in the
process?
Kira had lived a terrifying life
of servitude and abuse under Lord Donovan and his son, Cole. It was an
existence that had stripped away her emotions and reasons to keep fighting.
Just when she thought freedom was
within reach, Lord Donovan struck again, ruining her plans and almost killing
her. When she awoke from her injuries, it was to stunning revelations that
would change her life forever, changes she wasn’t entirely sure she wanted.
Persistent individuals, such as
Prince Kane, refused to let her walk away, though. Would she embrace all of her
sudden fortune? Or would she walk away from those who needed her most,
forsaking their acceptance and love?

THE
BURNING STAR SNEAK PEEK:
I stood
there frozen, knowing that I would probably die because of this wretched
creature, when all of a sudden I saw the quick movement of an arm bringing down
the point of the knife, slicing towards the large creature’s skull. The
animal’s enraged screams ripped through the woods surrounding us.
My brain
tried to analyze what was happening before me as I stood still as a statue and
watched as the monster started to crumble away like something that had been
burnt from the inside out and then fell apart.
This
can’t be real.
I looked
up from the ashes into the face of an angel.
He’s not
an angel; he’s just a guy. Right?
He was
staring at me as if he had just seen me sprout a second head. I was staring
back at him like he was somehow related to those alien birds outside my window.
My mouth flapped open to scream again, but before a sound could escape, the
world faded to black, and I fainted.
At least
I didn’t scream again.
When I
opened my eyes, two ethereal blue eyes were staring back at me. My head was
throbbing like a bass drum in a marching band, and it felt like my head might
split in two from the pounding headache.
“Are you
okay?” he asked me, his voice strong but sweet.
Before I
could stop my mouth from saying anything ridiculous, I replied, “Are you an
angel? Did I finally die and go to Heaven?”
He
bellowed a laugh while I blushed a shade that was more than likely lobster red.
I smacked myself in the forehead and tried to hide my face behind my hand. What
a brilliant way to make a first impression on an extremely hot guy. That’s when
it hit me.
The past
few moments of events flooded my brain again and I started to panic.
“Wait a minute!
What was that thing and how in the world did it just, just—”
“The dog?
I had to cut it with my knife to scare it away. It wasn’t a mortal wound
though. He took off through the woods to escape. Sorry if you’re one of those
animal lovers, but I was afraid it might kill one of us.”
I shook
my head to try to clear it. “No, no, no, no. That was no dog. Well, it was at
first, but then it became something else. It was black and huge and had those
red eyes…”
Before I
finished my sentence, I looked up at him to see complete shock and amazement on
his face. I had never seen anyone look so bewildered.
“Don’t
look at me like that! I know what I saw! Now what was that thing and what
happened to it? It didn’t run off; I saw you kill it. And I would point to the
body to prove it, but it, well, it fell apart or something.”
In a
split second, the shock had disappeared from his handsome face, replaced by
something more masked and calculating. “I’m sorry, but you’re quite mistaken. I
didn’t kill it. I only wounded it. And it was a dog. Are you sure you didn’t
hit your head or something? I’m afraid you might be having some kind of
hallucination.” Somehow, when he said it, it didn’t seem as scary or grotesque
as it did when I played what I saw back in my head.
