Unlike her famous older brother Maxon, Princess Portia isn’t known for killing demons or attracting admirers. The reason why is simple: a spell was cast on Portia, and the magic has marked her to one day transform into a dreaded Void demon. To fight this horrible fate, Portia’s spent her life hiding in libraries and learning magic. But when the Void demons threaten to destroy all the after-realms—and the handsome dragon Emperor Tempest offers his help—then Portia suspects that her future holds more than just a demonic metamorphosis. Fate is calling the bookworm princess onto the battlefield, and it’s a fight against both deadly enemies and her heart’s desires.
May be read as a stand-alone.
Excerpt
“Are we
turning this into a guessing game, then?” I ask.
“Only if you
wish it.”
I tap my
cheek, pretending to consider this turn of events. “Fine. A game it is.”
“Brilliant.”
“Let’s see.
Are you maybe a quasi demon…But one who’s not from Purgatory?”
He shakes his
head. “I’ll give you a hint. I’m a full-blooded Furor dragon.”
I scrub my
hands over my face. Now, I’m really stumped. Mom and I have a drop of Furor
blood in us. Enough for a tail, at least in Mom’s case. But Furor dragons are
the real demonic deal. They have both human and dragon forms. That said, they
aren’t exactly heavy into magic. I know hardly anything about them.
“Are you from
the Hexenwing tribe of Furor? I know their Level One spells.”
The arrowhead
end of his tail moves in a ‘no’ motion. “Wrong color dragon scales.”
I snap my
fingers, as if the movement will jar my memory. My family has talked about
these color schemes before. I just didn’t pay all that much attention. “Don’t
tell me. Black scales on your tail mean that you’re from the Thornclaw tribe.
Or is it Shrillroar?”
Another
chuckle. “Neither.”
“Okay, I need
a hint.”
“Why not ask
your Mum? Her scales are the same color.”
I can’t help
but laugh. “True.” I shake my head. “Wow, I need to take an interest in the
after-realms outside of magic.”
“Maybe I can
help on that score.” He takes a slow step closer. No. It’s more of a prowl.
Like he’s a hunter and I’m the prey. “How about I explain over dinner?”
“Dinner.” My
mental gears try to process this question. “As in you and me? On a date?”
He steps even
closer. His body radiates heat. “Yes.”
The way he
says the word ‘yes’ has my insides going all kinds of squirmy.
“I’m not sure
that’s a good idea.”
He smiles
again, like this conversation is our little secret. “And why’s that?”
I know nothing
about people in general, let alone men?
“I have a very
busy life.”
“Doing what?”
“Stuff. Books.
Things. It’s cooler than it sounds.”
Wow. Do I ever
sound like a loser.
“Quite busy,
indeed.” He leans in closer. “Perhaps you could squeeze in one short dinner.”
He scans me carefully. “In between Stuff and Things.”
His attention
sends a delicious wave of heat across my cheeks. In fact, it’s so lovely that
it takes me a while to process what’s actually happening. I gasp when I realize
it.
“You’re looking
at my marks.”
“I know. I
like them.”
The moment
freezes in time. This is a man. In fact, he’s a very hot man and he likes my
marks. I shake my head in disbelief. “You like them?”
“Ah, you’ve no
idea how much.”
