Genres: Fantasy, Romance, Young Adult
Unlike her famous older brother Maxon, Princess Portia isn’t known for killing demons or attracting admirers. The reason why is simple: a spell was cast on Portia, and the magic has marked her to one day transform into a dreaded Void demon. To fight this horrible fate, Portia’s spent her life hiding in libraries and learning magic. But when the Void demons threaten to destroy all the after-realms—and the handsome dragon Emperor Tempest offers his help—then Portia suspects that her future holds more than just a demonic metamorphosis. Fate is calling the bookworm princess onto the battlefield, and it’s a fight against both deadly enemies and her heart’s desires.
May be read as a stand-alone.
Excerpt
I
am so late.
My
heart beats at double speed while I rush up the staircase to the Ryder mansion.
After pulling open the fancy wooden door, I step inside a large and empty
foyer. Well, it’s almost empty.
The
President of Purgatory is waiting for me. Not good.
Even
worse, her mouth is pressed into a thin and frustrated line. No question why
she’s unhappy. My lecture on Magic Across The After-Realms should’ve started
twenty minutes ago.
“Portia,
you’re finally here,” she sighs. “We were getting frantic.”
The
President’s known for being tough on crime, graft, and well, everything really.
But she’s also my grandmother. When it comes to family, Gram’s a softie who
worries like crazy. I should know, being a softie myself. I give her a quick
peck on the cheek. “So sorry, Gram. I got caught up.”
Gram’s
tail sways warily over her right shoulder. No shock, there. Every quasi-demon
in Purgatory has a tail. Gram’s variety is long and black with an
arrowhead-shaped end and a mind of its own. Currently, that mind totally
suspects that I’m up to something.
Good
suspicion, actually.
“What
are you working on this time?” asks Gram. “Is it dangerous magic? Please tell
me you’re being safe.”
About the author:
Christina graduated from Syracuse University's Newhouse School with BA's
in English as well as Television, Radio, and Film Production. Her day
job is in marketing for companies like Microsoft, Cisco, and Brainshark.
Back in the go-go 90′s, she founded her own software start-up, Mindful
Technologies. Christina believes that, upon close examination of
Tolkien's text, it's entirely possible that the Balrog was wearing fuzzy
bunny slippers.
