Excerpt
Surah spun around on
her heel, the smile gone from her face, her voice flat. Her princess-etiquette
momentarily discarded. “The Black Stone is missing, Shaman. A Highborn lady is
dead. Demons just flew out of my father’s fireplace and tried to kill him. How
is it you think I should be acting?”
Bassil clasped his hands together in front
of him and smiled humbly. “Ah, a real reaction from the princess. You are
getting better at showing your emotions, my lady.”
Surah’s head tilted back, a mischievous
glint in her eye, and flung a bottle of purple potion at the shaman with her
Magic. Bassil laughed and his hand shot up, halting the bottle mid-flight. He
moved his hand to the side and the vial settled on Surah’s dresser. Surah
relaxed a little, taking comfort in the interaction. She had grown up with
Bassil. He had been her mentor since she was a little girl, and this was a
normal exchange between them.
“You still throw like a princess I see,” he
said.
Surah rolled her eyes and continued picking
out bottles for the spell. “I thought you were here to help me,” she said.
“Isn’t there something you should be setting up? What do we pay you for?”
Bassil laughed again. “My wise council, of
course, and you seem to be doing a fair job of it yourself, my lady.”
Surah inventoried her selections so far,
turning her back to Bassil and replacing the unneeded bottles. “Maybe I should
tell Samson to bite you,” she said. Her head turned to the side again. “He
likes dark meat, you know.”
Bassil looked down to see the tiger looking
at him with those golden eyes, and took a step away from the window where
Samson was perched. He knew Surah wasn’t serious, but the tiger had been
listening, and now he could practically see the idea playing out in the beast’s
head. “Very funny, my lady,” he said.

The Alexa Montgomery Saga
Blood Warrior:
When her home
is attacked by murderous vampires, 17-year-old Alexa is forced to leave her
mother for dead in order to save her sister. She soon learns that she is the
last known member of an elite race of supernatural Warriors, and is thrust into
a world full of vampires and werewolves who all seem to regard her as some sort
of savior. Meanwhile, Alexa battles a monster within herself that seeks to gain
control; a monster that seeks blood.
The hidden city she finds herself in appears perfect, but Alexa's instincts tell her that all is not right within its walls. When she is asked to attend a school of fighters, whose exams consist of gladiator-style competitions, she must decide who she can trust among the smiling faces. And, when she meets Kayden, a vampire she feels undeniably drawn to, she must decide if she can trust herself.
