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?
