Book Blurb:
Hopeless he'll never be more than the boy who didn't save
his brother, 17-year-old Avikar accepts his life as the family stable boy,
trying to forget the past. But when his sister, Jeslyn, is kidnapped, the
thought of losing another sibling catapults him on a desperate quest. With his
best friend by his side, and using the tracking skills he learned from his
father, he discovers Jeslyn has been taken, kidnapped by one Lucino, the young
lord of Daath, a mystical place thought only to exist in fables.
And Lucino has plans for Jeslyn.
His shapeshifter brethren feed off the auras of humans, and
Jeslyn's golden hue is exactly what Lucino needs to increase his power. The
longer it takes Avikar to reach her, the more entranced she becomes with
Lucino's world, and the harder it will be for Avikar to set her free.
He failed his family once. He won't fail again.
He failed his family once. He won't fail again.

Avikar:
The wagons surrounded
the site in a semi-circle. Sweat pooled in my palms. I had to take out the
guards closest to that entrance. If I failed, so did the mission.
Get a grip.
I
clenched the arrow in my right hand. Brushfire shifted nervously, sensing my
fear. I rubbed her neck. I felt safer with her. She’d been with me since
Jimri’s death. At night when the nightmares taunted me, I’d sneak out, riding
until dawn forced us home. I’d rescued her from the burning woods, she’d rescued
me from despair — today, I prayed both of us would make it out alive.
Jeslyn
He glided towards me
like a swan on water. I combed my fingers through my hair, smoothing out the
wild strands. He sat down on the cot. I was surrounded by the scent of cold
winter air.
“What’s your name?” he asked.
I should have replied, but fear closed my
throat.
He smiled and held out his hand. “My name is
Lucino.”
“Jeslyn.” I placed my hand in his, anxious and
uncertain.
He gently kissed my hand. I shivered. No man
had ever looked at me with such desire—not even Derrick—and it frightened me.
Lucino
Outside, the sky bled,
looking vicious and deathly, streaks of grey and indigo amongst the clouds. A
hovercraft sat nearby, waiting. One of the royal guard stood watch. I did not
need a babysitter. I was more than capable of handling any threat, but Father
took precautions. Times were dangerous and our people frightened.
From
here, I could see the triangular structure. “Take me to the gate,” I said as
the guard opened the door.
“Yes,
my prince.”
The
hovercraft sped across the dry and barren ground. The Council was right, we had
little time left.
