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.
A Sneak Peek inside..
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.
