Guardian of the Onyx Empire
Vanessa Gilfoy
The Magician of Ellora's Cave's Torrid Tarot Series
ISBN: 978 14199 13495
Ellora's Cave
January 2008

Lizeria flees her mother's crumbling empire. An army of wizards chase her. If she can get to her remaining kin, they can save the Empire. However, she stumbles through the nearly demolished Kingdom of Vinn, where the mouthwatering Alexander Rey tempts her with
other plans.

He waits for her. When wizards attacked his kingdom he put up a
fight, but for selfish reasons. Hybrid women are like sirens, but instead of song, it's their pheromones, a heady perfume that stirs lust in mortals and fated lovers. Upon her arrival, Alexander offers her the magic to claim her birthright, for a price. If she'll be his and his alone, he'll train her to raise the Onyx Empire from its ashes and defeat the wizards.

Something about Alexander doesn't seem right. Though he claims to be human, he moves like an elf. He seduces her and says he's her fated, but he can't be. Electric sparks don't pass from his skin, and mind shields prevent her from reading the truth. She'll have to grow
stronger to break him, but that means learning elven king's magic from Alexander's cursed blackstones.

Can she bear the blackstones to make him hers and save the empire?

Eleanor, a hybrid elf, wishes she didn't want Erick. If only he didn't feel so good. But he's broken and can't see her as his fated one. She knows he'll hurt her, and she hates him for it. She'd escape to Gildon, if she had the spells to survive the bitter cold mountain pass.

King Frederick (Erick) of Biston can only see what he lost in the war, not what's left. But when Eleanor Borona sways her hips back into his life, all grown up and emitting her come-kiss-me perfume, everything really goes to hell.

Erick can't stop himself from touching her electrifying body. He shouldn't feel this way. She shouldn't be the one who can lift his curse. If the seemingly fickle hybrid doesn't end him with her magic, her father, Henry, will run him through. Worse, abandon him. Henry had
won Erick the throne and keeps the cursed cro wn on his head.

A night at the masquerade threatens to turn their whole world upside down. But can they face the demon to make things right?
