Payton survived being forced to flee her home in order to escape the Elites. Yet she’s still not safe. The Elites are relentless, and they won’t give up their pursuit of her that easily. With her loved ones at risk, and trusting her boyfriend Conner, the two devise a plan to ditch her family in order to keep them safe. But their plan quickly backfires and puts everyone in even more danger.

Reiley is left behind when Payton leaves. Having to prove herself as a capable assassin, she joins Cadmar in his pursuit to track and end the Elites. Except the agency anticipates their every move. In her angst to establish herself, Reiley is caught off guard and makes a deadly mistake that jeopardizes everyones lives.

Betrayal, abductions, and murder stand between Payton, Reiley, and their loved ones. Can they trust anyone in a world of treachery and destruction?

What inspires your writing?

There are so many things going on around us that can bring inspiration. With my writing, I love taking little snippets from the lives of people around me and putting them in my novels. I’m always watching, always listening to what’s going on around me to see if there’s something that could fit into my writing. It could be a song, or my best friend’s story about her boss getting mad at one of her co-workers. Whatever it is, I like to think up new ways I could tie the experiences of people’s lives into my work, which I believe helps make it seem more real.

I also find a lot of inspiration in other author’s work. I read quite a bit, with a goal of at least 60 novels a year, and I always find great inspiration in other authors. Not that I’m stealing their ideas, but looking at their personal stories, looking to them with a sort of awe to push on and keep going. I know of so many strong authors who push through the downers of this profession and keep on keepin on, because it’s what they love doing. I love writing and I love watching other people to make stories out of their experiences.

Writing is such an amazing form of art, and I simply love sharing my art with others. That, in itself inspires me.

Charyse Allan grew up in Arizona dancing and riding horses. She is an avid reader, but didn’t become one until high school. This is also when she realized her passion for writing, however it wasn’t until a couple years into her marriage that she tried her hand at writing a novel.

When she isn’t writing or reading, she can be found in Northern Arizona, tending her garden with her husband and best friend, while their two kids and two crazy dogs run around the yard. Charyse is also a big fan of Holy yoga, juicing and being a vegetarian—she misses bacon like nobody’s business.
