Genres: Fantasy, Paranormal, Young Adult
Synopsis:
Fate
is a twisted b*$#@, at least his was.
Was one soul worth the lives of millions? The quandary was one that Rydell King had no choice but to face. No matter the answer, the truth remained—innocence was created to destroy him. She was beautiful…extinguishing her to save his people seemed impossible, and maybe it was. As an immortal, his focus was to destroy the curse upon his people, as he devoured the emotion that bore him—exaltation, no matter the cost. She made him question everything.
Mercy
had never been crueler.
Excerpt
Raven
was not known for having a long attention span and apparently the Veil did not
hinder her virtue, or curse, depending how you saw it. She heard music, a
guitar.
Raven
took a step toward it and as she did she felt a wave of electrical energy come
over her. Her entire body was humming. She felt like she was waking up from a
thick, languid dream. Like she was coming home. She had to get closer. Needed
to get closer. Right as she started to move toward a wicked cool looking house
her father clasped her elbow.
“Raven.
Focus. Any more questions?”
“Can
I find the dead musician? Oh. My. God. Is Elvis in here?”
If
there was one thing Raven could do it was make her father laugh. She loved
doing that.
But
right then she was doing it so she could slowly edge toward that sensation she
was feeling. It made everything move slower yet intensified everything. She had
butterflies for the first time in her life and she had no idea why. Yearning,
it was so rich that it almost hurt.
“All
right let’s practice getting out. Think of home.”
Raven
didn’t want to go home. She had to chase this feeling. “But—I.”
“Show
me you can get out,” he said with a raised brow.
Out
Raven thought with a pout on her face.
As
soon as Raven left the Veil the feeling left. She was never a fan of reality
before but it had never felt as heavy as it did then. This
Author Bio
Jamie
Magee has always believed that each of us have a defining gift that sets
us apart from the rest of the world, she has always envied those who have
known from their first breath what their gift was. Not knowing hers, she
began a career in the fast paced world of business. Raising a young
family, and competing to rise higher in that field would drive some to the
point of insanity, but she always found a moment of escape in a
passing daydream. Her imagination would take her to places she’d never
been, introduce her to people she’s never known. Insight, her
debuting novel, is a result of that powerful imagination. Today, she is
grateful that not knowing what defined her, led her on a path of
discovery that would always be a part of her.
