Betrayal
lies cloaked in shadow.
Seventeen
year old Ryleigh Donnovan is certain her life is cursed. Nothing ever
goes smoothly, and her first job interview is no exception. An
earthquake rocks the building, sending Ryleigh on a frantic search
for her younger sister, a search which lands her in the hospital.
Terrified they’ll push her for answers she can’t afford to give,
Ryleigh flees with a mysterious stranger.
Jackson
Maynard is about to be ordained as a Death Dealer, a warrior for the
Kingdom of Cymmera, but first he must pass one more test. When he
fails to acquire the human girl the prophet has chosen, he’s forced
to stand trial for treason. Banished from his realm, he seeks out the
girl from the vision, Ryleigh Donnovan, and together they embark on a
journey to save his dying kingdom.
Ryleigh
stood. This couldn’t be happening. With only a few months left
until graduation, she didn’t want to be forced to drop out, but
what else could she do? “Look, Mr. Jacobs, can’t you just—”
Vertigo assailed her. The room rocked, and she grabbed the desk.
Mr.
Jacobs grabbed the back of his chair. His eyes mirrored her panic.
Books flew from the shelves. Glass shattered.
She
had to get to Mia.
She
turned to run. The building bucked, and she toppled, slamming her
knee into the hard wood floor. Pain shot up her leg. She grabbed the
chair to pull herself up, but the next wave threw her back down. She
tried to regain her footing, but someone yanked her to the ground.
“Stay
down.” Mr. Jacobs shoved her forward. He crawled beside her, half
pushing, half dragging her toward the door.
Debris
pelted her back, shoulders, and head. How could she have left Mia?
Tears blurred her vision.
“If
it’s an earthquake, it should stop any minute. Just keep crawling
toward the door.”
Desperately
wishing she could cover her ears to block the screaming, she clawed
forward. Her knee dragged behind her, pain pulsing with each
movement. Falling apart wouldn’t help matters. She had to get to
Mia.
Ryleigh
crawled through the doorway, into utter chaos. People trying to push
through the mess, others huddled in corners shielding their heads. An
injured woman cried as she rocked back and forth clutching her arm. A
man crouched over her.
Fear
and disorientation held Ryleigh immobile.
Dani-Lyn
Alexander lives on Long Island with her husband, three kids and three
dogs. She loves spending time with her family, at the beach, the
playground, or just about anywhere. In her spare time, which is
rare, she enjoys reading and shopping—especially in book stores.
Some of her favorite things include; Bernese Mountain Dogs,
musicals, bubble baths and soft blankets. She’s an incurable
insomniac and has an addiction to chocolate.
