Everything seems perfect now that

the Spiral.
Until Rick and the Irradians seize
the castle.
Now, Ronnie and Gavin are in
hiding. They must amass an army from those still loyal to them and protect
their friends and family—all without leaving their refuge. When Ronnie ventures
out, Gavin is captured. Their bond is severed.
All Ronnie knows is that Gavin
is still in her heart.
Until that breaks, too.
Ronnie must find the strength to
ascend to her destiny and defeat Rick or risk losing everything forever.
Excerpt:
“We need to leave, Princess. Now,” Gavin growled at her, turning to
kill a gremlin that thought it would sneak up on them.
“But my mom and dad! Andi and
Shawn! I need to help them!” she screamed. She turned to jump into the fray to
find them… only to have Gavin grab her again and pull her back against him.
Three gremlins scurried towards them. Ronnie slashed out with her sword
automatically, her eyes on the vile creatures but her mind racing with thoughts
of what could happen to her parents and friends. Where were they?
Her heart pounded in her chest
like a caged animal eager to be released. Her hands began to shake and she
grasped her sword with both of them to steady her aim as another group of
gremlins came towards her and Gavin. She met them head on, taking them out
easily. She felt Gavin’s pride at her swiftness and gave a small smile. Her
eyes turned back to the melee on the floor. Where were her parents? She thought
she saw a glimpse of blonde curls and screamed for Andi. Again, Gavin grabbed
her and stopped her when she tried to run after her friends. She turned on him
with malice in her eyes.
“We need to get out of here. They’re
protected,” Gavin declared, his grip tight on her left arm. “If you don’t come
with me right now, I will throw you over my shoulder and drag you out of here.
My number one priority is your safety.”
“My number one priority is theirs!”
she screamed.
Her eyes scanned the crowd again
and widened when she saw Rick enter the room. Before anyone else could get to
him, Cenric was suddenly there swinging a sword at his brother. Rick parried
with his own, the blade swathed in wraiths. She watched their deadly battle,
everything around her falling away. In her mind, all she saw was Dirac falling
at Rick’s hand. She couldn’t let that happen to Cenric, too. She shook off
Gavin and took three steps before he grabbed her again, just getting her before
she jumped off the dais. She glared at him as she spun towards him.
“I can’t lose him!” she pleaded,
tears suddenly in her eyes.
“He can take care of himself,” Gavin pointed out.
Still holding onto her, he opened a portal and pushed her through it, closing
it as he followed.
