Summary~
Ren and Axel are caught between two powerful magical races: one destined to end the bloodshed, the other out for vengeance.
Seventeen-year-old Ren Pernell is prophesied to end the war between the Dracians and the Telalians. So when a Dracian, Axel Knight, is sent to find and bring back the prophesied one before she turns eighteen and Telalians discover of her existence, unexpected sparks start to fly between the two. Once Ren finds the truth behind Axel’s arrival, she wants everything to do with him and nothing to do with his mission.
Things prove to become difficult as Ren’s life is constantly threatened by the Goarders, humans who sold their souls, a Proxy Succubi, and the leader of the Telalians, who has been searching for her as well.
With the clock ticking and Ren’s life in jeopardy, it is no longer just a mission for Axel. It becomes a personal endeavor to save the only one he’s ever loved. In a heart racing ending, they must find a way to evade the preordained war that won’t also end Ren’s life.
Priya has provided an excerpt to share.
Rotten Eggs
“You really are going to make me do
this?” I asked him as groups of people gathered around us.
He smiled like Satan incarnate.
“You’re gonna pay for this. I promise.”
I narrowed my eyes.
“Yeah, yeah. Now stop stalling and
chug.”
Who knew Tyler would actually have
rotten eggs handy? But that brat did!
I took the rotten-egg-goo-in-a-glass,
eyeing it with disgust. One whiff of the contents had my eyes burning. Oh, good
grief. I should’ve known he would be faster than me, seeing how he hardly broke
a sweat on our run up the trail. I placed my mouth close to the rim of the glass
and almost puked.
“Oh, God,” I said, gagging.
“Not God, princess. Just rotten eggs.”
Tyler laughed menacingly.
I heard bets being placed, Hunter
leading, on how well I would stomach the contents. I held my breath and took
one last look around the table, swallowing hard. I couldn’t back down now; I
was too much of a challenge junkie. Yeah,
I have issues. I was tough and I had to prove that I could take on any
task, even if it meant I gulped down this repulsive goo.
“Chug, chug, chug…” I heard chanting
all around the cafeteria.
Great,
now I’ve got cheerleaders for an audience.
I took another deep breath, plugged my
nose, and poured the nasty rotten gunk into my mouth, gulping it down my throat.
Hoots, hollers, and whistles encouraged my very non-princess-like behavior. Go
figure.
The eggs slithered down my esophagus,
making their way into the pit of my stomach. I could feel everything
threatening to come right back out, and I willed my body to do anything but.
Instead, I belched the most disgusting burp in the history of mankind.
“Gross.” Tyler chuckled. “I’ve got a
whole new kinda respect for you.” He put his arm around my shoulder, hugging me
with pride. “How about some water?” He stepped away a few inches with his hands
in the air. “Or… toilet?”
“God, I’d rather keep this crap inside
me than puke in a public toilet,” I said. “That was disgusting.”
“Yeah… Your breath ain’t that pretty,
either. Phew. Here.”
