Book 2 of The Death Wizard Chronicles, a six-book epic fantasy
For more than seventy years, the most powerful sorcerer in the world has held a woman prisoner in a magical tower.
Invictus forces Laylah, his own sister, to be his queen. Even the immense power Laylah draws from moonlight does not give her the strength to free herself . . . until she forms an unlikely alliance with two of the sorcerer’s most trusted soldiers as well as an ancient demon with diabolical motives. Laylah’s dramatic escape leads her to the one man who might be able to save her—Torg, the Death-Knower wizard. Drawn together by supernatural passion, the pair attempts to outrun Invictus’ minions and reach the safety of the White City.
Excerpt
From his hiding place among the trees, the teenage boy had spied on the little girl for months. Though darkness was not his friend, he had endured it to be near her. How daring she was to leave her house all by herself in the middle of the night, seemingly undeterred by the specter of ghosts and goblins. How foolish of her, too. She would learn one day that monsters did exist, and that some of them were far deadlier than any her imagination might conjure. She would learn that it was better to stay locked in her room than wander the wilds after dark. She would learn because he would teach her.
Though she was little more than four years old, she already was beautiful. He admired her golden hair, which so matched his own. And though her gray-blue eyes were in stark contrast to his deep brown ones, he permitted her this fallibility. No one was perfect. Well, almost no one.
When they were king and queen, she would birth many of his children. The first would be a son whom he would mold in his own image. After that, he didn’t care so much about the rest. But the more products of his seed that walked the world, the better.
Yes, the little girl would become his bride—whether she liked it or not. He was a god, after all. And who in their right mind could refuse the hand of a god?
Not even the god’s sister could do that.
