On the day of
her Presenting, in front of the entire Byern Court, seventeen-year-old Cyrene
Strohm's lifelong plans come to fruition when she's chosen as an Affiliate to
the Queen.
Or so she
thinks. When Cyrene receives a mysterious letter and an unreadable book, she
finds nothing is as it seems. Thrust into a world of dangerous political
intrigue and deadly magic, Cyrene's position only grows more treacherous when
she finds herself drawn to the one man she can never have...
King Edric
himself.
Cyrene must
decide if love is truly worth the price of freedom. Find out in this first book
in USA Today bestselling author K.A. Linde’s new Ascension series.
“Today,
I Present Cyrene Sera Strohm, daughter of Hamidon and Herlana; sister
to our own devoted member of the High Order, Reeve; and our trusted
Affiliate, Aralyn. We shall begin the Presenting now.”
King
Edric took a step toward her, and her blue eyes met his. An electric
shock shot through her at his nearness. For a moment, while locked in
the King’s gaze, all she saw was the here and now. There was
neither time nor distance between them. It was just a pull as if they
would be tethered together from this point on.
King
Edric jerked back a step and shook his head, pulling her out of the
trance that had come over her. What just happened?
His
Adam’s apple bobbed as he pulled himself back together. Then, he
spoke softly for her ears only, “Cyrene.”
She
silently cursed and dropped her gaze to the polished floor. What
am I doing? She wasn’t even supposed to directly look at him
yet.
“You
may look at me.”
Surprised,
Cyrene did as commanded. She didn’t understand what had passed
between them, but looking at him made something within her fall into
place.
The Affiliate Pin Board:
When not
writing, she spends her time dancing, collecting paperbacks in the hopes of
filling a Beauty and the Beast style library one day, traveling to visit her
friends who live all over the country, and still reading anything she can get
her hands on. She currently resides in
North Carolina with her husband and two puppies, Lucy and Riker, where she is
hard at work on her next novel.
I love the colors, they were so easy to match up when putting the post together!
