Betrayal lies cloaked in shadow.
Seventeen year old Ryleigh Donnovan
is certain her life is cursed. Nothing ever goes smoothly, and her first job
interview is no exception. An earthquake rocks the building, sending Ryleigh on
a frantic search for her younger sister, a search which lands her in the
hospital. Terrified they’ll push her for answers she can’t afford to give,
Ryleigh flees with a mysterious stranger.
Jackson Maynard is about to be
ordained as a Death Dealer, a warrior for the Kingdom of Cymmera, but first he
must pass one more test. When he fails to acquire the human girl the prophet
has chosen, he’s forced to stand trial for treason. Banished from his realm, he
seeks out the girl from the vision, Ryleigh Donnovan, and together they embark
on a journey to save his dying kingdom.

“Miss.”
A hand fell on her shoulder. “Are you all right? Do you need help?”
Ryleigh
shook her head and kept walking, stepping carefully in the ridiculous pumps
she’d chosen that morning. One shoe snagged on something and pulled free of her
foot. She kicked off the other shoe and made her way into the corridor.
A
crowd was moving one direction, so Ryleigh joined them. Some cried softly as
they trudged through piles of debris. Others helped injured co-workers and
friends, and some plowed through everyone in their haste to get out. A big man
with a crew cut shoved her aside, and when she reached out to steady herself
against the wall, she dropped the cloth she’d had pressed against her head.
Her
head cleared a little. Okay. She could do this. Though the elevator stood open,
the shaft was empty. Everyone bypassed it and entered a stairwell at the end of
the corridor. Would Mia try to come up and find her? Goosebumps covered her.
No. She would stay where she was or leave. She’d never try to come up. Would
she? Adrenaline shot through Ryleigh, and she increased her pace, heedless of
her bare feet. She’d only gone down two steps when the world rocked again.
Clutching the railing tightly, she pressed her body against the wall as chaos
erupted around her.
“Get
out of the way…go, go, go…move…here, let me help you…no, wait, don’t move…stop
pushing.” Rumbling. Tearing. Screaming. People pushed and shoved. The woman in
front of her panicked and tried to run. She fell, and several people tumbled
down the stairs in a domino effect. Fragments rained down on them. Holding onto
the banister for dear life, Ryleigh crouched and tried to shield her head.
