Merrilyn’s life is quiet and predictable. An apprentice to
the royal healer, she spends her days helping in the village or up to mischief
with her best friend who happens to be the handsome younger son of the king.
But when a mysterious archer shows up in the forest and shoots their escort,
Merrilyn’s life is forever changed. Caught in a battle between two forgotten
gods, she must embrace her destiny and fight the very powers of darkness before
it’s too late.
Prince Jarrod and his men have been missing for months and
still Merrilyn has no idea where they are hidden. Now the king of Zinder is
missing, too, and his children seem to think Merrilyn’s the key to finding him.
Along with Aiden and Prince Justan, she travels to Zinder looking for clues in
the king’s journals. When a mysterious man begins whispering in her dreams,
tempting her to reconsider all that she believes, she must face both her fears
and her desires. Merrilyn may be a light in the darkness, but she’ll have to
trust Loian to light their path as they travel through foreign lands and face
new enemies in their search for the missing men.
Rory has no idea what’s going on in the woods behind her
house, but it’s driving her crazy. On the last day of her senior year she finds
herself caught up once again in the curious happenings of the forest and walks
away without any of the answers she was hoping to find. To make matters worse,
she is sent to visit a sick neighbor and instead finds the hottest guy she’s
ever seen. When she discovers his brother’s incredible secret she falls further
into her own chaos and into a fate she never could have imagined.
Jaron is just counting the days until the summer is over and
he can get back to his real life. Stuck with his little brother on a tiny farm
in rural Oklahoma is not exactly his idea of fun. But when Rory shows up on his
doorstep with an armload of pie, he knows his summer has just taken a sharp
turn into new territory. He never expected the adventure they would discover
next or the quest that would change their lives forever.
