Black Orchid (Svatura #4) - Chapter 1 PROLOGUE “Lila!” Adelaide Jenner screamed the panicked word into her sister’s mind. Lila was in the middle of explaining to the High Council her part in the most recent battle with their enemies. The debriefing had been going on for the past week. Technically, Adelaide wasn’t supposed... Continue Reading →
CHAPTER 1 Lila couldn’t get warm in the damp, cold space where their captors held them. She assumed they were underground, given the rough stone walls and floor and the constant smell of damp earth and rock. A harsh fluorescent light in the hallway filtered into their cell through the barred window in the door.... Continue Reading →
CHAPTER 1 Selene jerked awake and clutched at her sweat-soaked bedsheets, breath coming in panting bursts, and her heart refused to slow its furious pounding. A low, animalistic groan sounded from deep within. Moonlight slanted across her bed in pale streamers, illuminating the darkness around her, but Selene could only see the images that filled...

PROLOGUE “You shouldn’t go,” the words were soft. Ellie Aubrey closed her eyes briefly, then opened them again and resumed her packing. “I have to,” she answered just as quietly.
