Fantasy Romance
The Planewalker stared at me. “That seemed like a lot of magic. Even for this place.”
The calificar at her side regarded me, and I suppressed a shiver. His uniform was the same as the rest, but the power he exuded warned he was so much more.
Yet Hope did not flinch from him.
“It was,” he said.
I held Hope tighter.
In honor of the lovely new cover for Seducing the Ice Queen, it is FREE for the first time now through Friday.
Ice queens can’t be hurt because they have no feelings. They also can’t fall in love…or so they tell themselves.
Having to pretend everything is fine after being jilted by the crown prince was bad enough, but now, Lady Daniella is being exiled to a distant castle ‘to recover.’ Except, her exile happens to include an order from the king to investigate the murder of the castle’s former owner, the old Duke of Westlake.
At least she’d never been in love with the old Duke of Westlake. Too bad she can’t say the same thing about his brother, the dashing heir apparent just returned from battle. But facing down an awkward childhood crush who is just as determined as she is to unravel the mystery is the least of Daniella’s worries.
Someone in the shadows is watching her. Someone who doesn’t want to her to solve this murder. Someone that’s already killed once to buy silence. Someone who will force Daniella to choose whether love will be what defeats her or the only thing that could save her…if only she will let it.
“We can’t,” Hope whispered. “There are good men here.”
“They are calificars.”
“I know,” Hope said. “It took me a while to believe it, too.”
I stared at her.
“They need us, Felicity. The Planewalker has returned.”
I stared at the woman who had no magic singing within her. Hope spoke the truth.
My magic swelled to almost unbearable levels.
I could take the magic from everyone in the room.
Everyone but one.
The one who was without magic.
What was this abomination?
The calificars threw themselves at me, but my magic swelled.
Hope.
My sister.
The only other who understood.
Our fingers touched.
For a moment, the world stood still.
“Stop the abominations!” a calificar knight-captain screamed.
But it was already too late.
Our magic had found each other.
And the closer I drew to Hope, the stronger it became.
Not even a dozen calificars could stand before us now.
