Blurb:
Open your
eyes to darkness. What do you see? Does the darkness frighten you? Now imagine
the darkness being the cargo hold of a slave ship. Your city has fallen. Your
family is most likely dead. You don’t know anyone around you, and some of them
aren’t even human. Giving up would be so easy to do, but not for Arowyn Mason.
Not after being raised in a military family with seven brothers. Every great
story should begin with a plan. Aro’s was to escape and to survive.
Escape
comes, but at a price. As they reach the shore, Aro and the other survivors
learn that freedom doesn’t mean safety. The slavers want their property back
and will do anything to get it. The party uses every ounce of their brute
strength, a hearty helping of cunning, and even ancient magics to keep
themselves alive. Sickness, danger, and even love surprise them at every turn.
Dealing with danger becomes their way of life, but none of them ever considered
that nothing can be quite as dangerous as a prophecy. Running turns into another
race altogether as her world falls to pieces again and again.
Jen
Wylie resides in rural Ontario,
Canada with
her two boys, Australian shepherd and a disagreeable amount of wildlife.
In a cosmic twist of fate she dislikes the snow and cold.
Before
settling down to raise a family, she attained a BA from Queens University
and worked in retail and sales.
Thanks
to her mother she acquired a love of books at an early age and began writing in
public school. She constantly has stories floating around in her head, and
finds it amazing most people don’t. Jennifer writes various forms of fantasy,
both novels and short stories.
Her
eyes opened to darkness.
She
wasn't surprised. When bad things happened and you finally opened your eyes it
was always dark wasn't it? Because otherwise when you woke up you wouldn't be
scared, not right away, not until you remembered. Yet in darkness nothing else
could be seen but the memories of what had happened, it didn't matter if you
opened your eyes or kept them squeezed closed.
What
happened…
She
closed her eyes again, not against the memories, but the sudden tears and
choking sobs. Still, she tried to notremember, but her head hurt.
All of her hurt, but her head hurt the worst. She'd been hit by something, very
hard. She had no trouble remembering the pain. She remembered falling to the
ground, her brothers screaming her name over the insane loudness of the
fighting and everything fading to nothing as darkness claimed her.
She
sucked in a deep breath. The fighting. Yes, the city had been attacked. The
walls had been breached. There had been fighting in the streets. She had
been fighting. Her brothers had been trying to get her out. They had been so
close. Had they?
She
shifted and froze, terror creeping up her throat and choking her at the same
time until nothing but a strangled gurgle came out.
They
had not.
