Synopsis: Magick and destiny intertwine as he fights to save his kingdom and the goddess he loves.
Her kiss…the feel of her skin…the beat of her heart…For seventeen-year-old Kellen St. James, each memory is marred by a single sentence on a lone strip of paper.
Cali has been taken…
Armed with an amulet that channels the ultimate power of Faerie, Kellen searches for his love. However, control of the amulet’s energy comes with a price, and Kellen soon learns that Cali’s captor has plans for the stone. With the threat of the Star Catcher’s evil looming above Kellen and his kingdom, he’ll have to free the Heart of Faerie and break the curse the binds the Children of Danu to the darkness. But before that, he has to find his real father, the king. No pressure, right?
Kellen and Cali will battle bewitched armies and unknown foes as they fight to stay together. Will Kellen embrace his immortal destiny? Or will his world, and the man he is fated to become, be destroyed by The Star Catcher?
Excerpt
“Right.” Automatically, I turned to go
right, my usual default.
Don’t
use your brain, K. Cast out your senses and search for your father that way.
Logic won’t find him.
“You have a point.” Mortal folklore and
beliefs had gotten us this far, but from here on out, I’d need to use my gut.
Closing my eyes, I focused on the hallway where I stood, reaching out. My mind
crept like a thief, snaking into each open space. Yet no one was there.
Otherwise, I would have sensed something. Changing tactics, I shifted my
attention to the corridor on my left. Immediately, I received an emotion
back—complete and utter happiness—a sensation of fulfillment that went far beyond what most people experience.
Soundlessly, I moved down the hallway, drawn toward the sensation of
contentment.
What
is it?
Someone’s
happy, I answered with my mind, not wanting to
speak the words out loud and give myself away. I could sense the close
proximity of the feelings I’d picked up on.
Be
careful. It could be a trap.
But as I wandered forward, I got the
feeling it wasn’t. I needed to walk this corridor. I’d been waiting my entire
life for it. The closer I came to the happiness, filling up the place like a
cloud, the more I considered never leaving, staying in this place forever. What
could the outside world possibly have to offer? What? Wait a minute. What was
that I’d been thinking? Cali was waiting for me. I had to get back to Cali. I
pushed forward.
“Willock, is that you?”
I froze. That voice. It was my father’s
voice, not the evil tone I’d become
used to over the years with the fake Stephen. Instead, this voice sounded
pleasant, welcoming. I had just reached the doorframe when I paused. I had two
more steps to take, and I would see my father.
