Sworn to the Blake family before her birth via a betrothal ceremony that was sealed in blood - one she knows nothing about - Rosaline has no idea how her life is about to change. She lives a normal, if not simple, life in the city limits of Seattle, WA with her cat Zeus. That is, she did until she woke up in a potential nightmare. Enter Daemon Xander Blake. Cold, distant, and controlling; the three words that best describe him. But then, so do sexy, mysterious, and alluring. And let's face it, what's a girl to do when she's trapped inside a cavernous, eerily comforting castle filled with every luxury imaginable to man - aside from plotting her escape, of course? But as time stretches on, Rosaline finds herself in a compromising situation; she may just be falling for Mr. Tall Dark and Relentless. And when said man makes a proposition to her one night - one concerning her departure from all things related to her glamorous prison, and essentially, Daemon himself - she can't help being more than enthusiastic about hearing him out. But can she really trust anything that he says? Excerpt: My body, previously uncomfortably close to Daemon's, was suddenly flush against him; my chin, between his index and pointer finger in a firm grip, was turned towards him; and my lips were slowly being ravaged by his in a demanding manner. Several different emotions began to assault me and I couldn't think to save my life. I let out a small whimper when he traced a fang lightly, teasingly along my bottom lip. His hands, no longer caging me in, where suddenly on my hips, digging into to the sensitive flesh there as he pulled me impossibly closer to him. It wasn't until I began to feel his lips moving down my neck, that I panicked. My mind, still hazy from the high that accompanied Daemon's touch, decided that it would be wise to pull away - but when I went to push at Daemon's shoulders he let out a low, threatening growl.

Mongrel, half-breed, dirty grub. Nyani's been called all these things, and she's about to earn a few more epithets. Banshee, spy, and liar, for a start. Her people stand on the brink of extinction. Her father and her lover are dead at the hands of her enemy - and her mother has lied to her all her life. If she wants her revenge, she will have to change the course of history. Ancient history. To do that, her only choice is to cross the mysterious Way Stones. Forced to unite with a self-exiled warchief in her quest against a mad druid and their common enemy, ties she has yet to discover bind the young widow to them both. As she is caught up in a web of secrets and betrayal, fueled by ambition and jealousy, she is torn between her desire for revenge and her need to belong somewhere - even this world. But Nyani's choices threaten to destroy the people she loves, including the one she comes to love most of all. For there are other forces to contend with. Forces that come from far beyond the Seventh Gate. And a mysterious foreign trader knows far more about those than he's telling. Then again, nobody is telling anyone the truth. *** Inspired by the great love stories and tragedies nestled in the pre-historic roots of Arthurian legend and Celtic mythology, the series follows a relationship across the course of a lifetime, set against a backdrop of worlds at war within themselves, and with each other.
