I will be doing a series of posts, giving you insider info on how I wrote DEFY, where the story came from, deleted scenes, and more! In fact, I might even post a scene or two from a different POV. Like maybe...Rylan. Or even Damian. Intrigued? Then stay tuned and keep checking back! And feel free to comment or ask questions--I'll do my best to answer!

ENDURE releases in just 2 weeks and today I'm giving you a special glimpse of what's to come -- the preface and the first three chapters of the book! I hope you enjoy this sneak peek. And remember, if you do preorder ENDURE, you will get special signed swag and be entered to win the DEFY dagger necklace like mine! Details on my blog (SaraBLarson.Blogspot.com) And now...the beginning of the end.

Read the first chapter of IGNITE (the sequel to DEFY) now and get a sneak peek of what's coming when it releases on December 30th!

Goodreads summary: A lush and gorgeously written debut, packed with action, intrigue, and heart-racing romance. Alexa Hollen is a fighter. Forced to disguise herself as a boy and serve in the king's army, Alex uses her quick wit and fierce sword-fighting skills to earn a spot on the elite prince's guard. But when a powerful sorcerer sneaks into the palace in the dead of night, even Alex, who is virtually unbeatable, can't prevent him from abducting her, her fellow guard and friend Rylan, and Prince Damian, taking them through the treacherous wilds of the jungle and deep into enemy territory. The longer Alex is held captive with both Rylan and the prince, the more she realizes that she is not the only one who has been keeping dangerous secrets. And suddenly, after her own secret is revealed, Alex finds herself confronted with two men vying for her heart: the safe and steady Rylan, who has always cared for her, and the dark, intriguing Damian. With hidden foes lurking around every corner, is Alex strong enough to save herself and the kingdom she's sworn to protect?

Four seemingly random strangers all answer an ad to move into an apartment in downtown. It didn't take more than a few months before they all realize they've been hiding a secret from one another... they each have a special ability. Now they're just trying to live their lives day by day as they figure their powers, and each other, out. (Beginning/initial idea inspired by PoPS on yt)
