Some days feel like years, but in Ember
Brycin’s case just the opposite is true. She had only
been in the Otherworld for a day or two when she returned back to the Earth’s realm. But it is three years later on Earth. Em is now 22. It would matter if she was human, but she’s not. She is a Dae, part Demon and part Fay, with a little Dark Dweller thrown in to make her even more of a freak.

Seeing Seattle rebuilt only confirms she has been gone three years. For her it was not long ago that the Seattle area was just rubble of concrete and death. All done by her hand.

One thing that hasn’t changed, though, is her undeniable connection to Eli Dragen, who is sexy, gorgeous, and even more volatile and frustrating. But her problems go way past him. The Seelie Queen of the Otherworld still holds Mark, Em’s father, and her friends, Ryan, and Josh as hostages. Em needs to rescue them without, once again, getting caught and being used as a pawn to help the Queen regain possession of Earth. At the same time Ember is in hot water with Lars, the Unseelie King, after breaking her contract with him.

As some secrets have come to light others seem to become even more enigmatic. The only truth Ember knows is,everyone is harboring secrets. As Eli’s past is revealed, Em understands more clearly why he acts the way he does and how much their lives are intertwined. But she also knows Eli is holding something back, something that could change their relationship forever.

Em herself continues to wrestle with her feelings toward Torin and her own secret she’s withholding from Kennedy. As the tension for war mounts between the Seelie and Unseelie (Light and Dark), the tension at the Dark Dweller’s compound mounts even more as they prepare to obtain the sword no matter what the price. But is Ember the answer to the location of the sword? Is she the one to fulfill the prophecy? As usual nothing is ever what it seems.

  Eli sighed and pulled back. “Technically you only have yourself to blame. You put us in a room together demanding we get along. We are trying our best to meet your stipulations.”
  “I think we still have some work to do on that.” I grinned.
  “Yeah, think I’ve come to regret it,” Gabby replied.
  Eli looked over his shoulder at the closed door. “You were the one who couldn’t handle me being a dickhead any longer.”
  “Oh, you’re still a dickhead,” Gabby piped back through the door. “But now I am not sure which dickhead is worse.”
  “She’s got you there.” I shrugged.
  He nodded in agreement. “True.” He slid off me onto his side, propping his head on his hand. “Gabby, do you have a reason for loitering at my door?”
  “Getting tips to produce my own porno video or was it taping the mating sounds of Yetis, can’t remember which one,” she said deadpan. “Of course, I do. I mean I enjoy sex, but when I am the participant . . . not listening to it. Cole and Kennedy are already practicing. He wants Ember to get her ass there as soon as possible. That means now not in twenty minutes.”
  The screen door slammed loudly as she exited, and her footsteps grew fainter as she headed back outside.
  “It’s always my ass that people want.” I pushed up on my elbows.
  Eli’s hand drifted under the covers, skimming the side of my butt. “I’ve invited it out on several occasions, but it keeps bringing you along.”
  “Shut up.” I laughed and smacked him. “My ass has too high of standards to be left alone with the likes of you.” Eli reached for my face. “Good thing the rest of you doesn’t.”
  When our lips met, lust had every nerve dancing again. I begrudgingly pulled back. “I better go. Cole won’t be so polite if he has to come get me.”
  “Worse. He’ll send Cooper who has no qualms about dragging you out of bed naked.”
  “Please. Being naked is more normal to you guys than being clothed.” I sat up, pushing the covers off. It was going to be another hot day. This type of heat for this stretch of time in Washington was unusual.
  “We’re Dark Dwellers. Being naked goes hand and hand with us. So does sex.” He threw back the covers and sat up, displaying his physique.
  “You guys can all run around naked. I’m quite okay with it. I’m sure Kennedy wouldn’t mind, and I don’t even think my mother would care too much. She appreciates good-looking, nude men as much as the rest of us. Not sure about Thara, unless it’s Torin who is unclothed.”
