"Lexsi
Tears of flame dripped down my cheeks-tears for Kory and me. The fire net burned my hands whenever I touched it, but I couldn't let it harm him any more than it already had. Kory's wings, with burn-holes between ribs, beat to help me get the net off him.
Kory screamed as the net sunk farther into sections of his back-it was designed to burn flesh until it had completely passed through its victim. I shook my hands to rid myself of the wad of...

"Belen?" I blinked up at him. As usual, he was shining brightly, although he'd dampened it so I might look at him.
"Lissa, this is certainly the beginning." He gazed around us. At leveled homes and devastated bodies.
I understood what he said. All too clearly. It had been my suspicion, but I was too afraid to voice it aloud, as if saying it might make it real. It didn't need my words to make it real. It had already become real. The God Wars were...

"Dad! When did you get here?" Kevis looked up from his comp-vid-he was completing notes on a patient. He entered the last bit of information and stood to greet his father.
"Kev, I have a patient I'd like to put in your clinic," Karzac said, walking in to sit beside his son's beautifully polished wood desk. Kevis, a physician for the past thirty years, ran a private clinic for patients with difficult mental problems.
"Dad, surely not one of the Saa...

Sorcery. Necromancy. The wielding of power never seen before. The target? Every world, in or out of the Alliances.

"Aedan always knew when something was wrong. Adele sat at the kitchen island, staring at her hands. Ashe had never seen her so defeated. "What is it?" Aedan sighed as he took a seat beside Adele.
"This." Adele pulled the letter from the drawer and handed it to Aedan. Aedan hesitated, as if he could hold off the news and keep his life as it was for a few moments longer. Finally, his fingers grasped the envelope. Ashe watched as the weight of it settled...

"Just because you've never seen it doesn't mean it can't exist," I pointed out. "You just haven't been in the right place or time before."
"Being in the right place and time with Sirenali sounds crazy and scary as hell," Jayson breathed. "Why can't it be some of those short, friendly guys?"
"There are short, friendly guys, but they don't have any desire to invade somebody else's planet," I said, thinking of the Amterean Dwarves. The only thing they...

"Rene', what will you do if I kick his ass?" I jerked my head toward Tony.
"Nothing, as long as you do not inflict permanent harm," Rene' smiled slightly. I got up to go after Tony, but Wlodek hauled me back.

"It's our God given right to bear arms and hunt any animal." Congressman Jack Howard looked quite distinguished-from the threads of gray at the temples of his carefully cut hair to the designer jeans, cowboy shirt and snakeskin boots he wore. He smiled and blew smoke from the expensive Cuban cigar Obediah Tanner offered.
He and Tanner stood inside Tanner's trophy room, which was elaborately decorated with various stuffed heads. In some cases,...

"My love, the child almost died." Lissa looked up in surprise at Roff's words. His wings rustled after he spoke-he normally didn't involve himself in the politics of Le-Ath Veronis. Not to this extent, anyway.
"I know, honey. And now two other children are likely to die as a result. Yes, I know they did this, but I'm not convinced we have all the ones involved in the crime."
Toff's life is in danger-someone from the Green Fae village wants him dead....

I got out five years ago.
Untalented, they said.
In other words, they didn't know what to do with me, and murder usually leaves a mess.
I understood messes. Saw too many of them in my dreams. That's why I live where I do, still in their shadow but outside their walls. The conditions, of course, are that I have to move every five years, check in now and then and never, ever, talk about them to anyone.
It was time to move.
Cloud Dust is a secret,...

Eleven days. Eleven days it took, for me to become vampire. The beating had revived old nightmares and I only wished to die. I'd shaken my head and muttered no through lips so bloodied and swollen it was difficult to say the word. He'd asked me if I wanted to live. I said no. He asked me if I wanted to be strong and live forever. I said no again, with difficulty. "Wrong answer," he whispered and cut into my wrists.
In the beginning, the One created...

"Finder-Quin-when did you find your voice?" Sofi asked.
"I have had it many years," I said with a sigh. "When it came, I was too afraid to speak."

"Too much," I agreed.
Siriaa, already in its death throes, is further damaged by a ruthless politician and a rogue wizard. Quin needs powerful help to save it.
