Description:
Mika’s
life has never been normal, but it’s hers.
After
being told by the Great Spirit to stand up for the Earth Mother’s
children and “save the great species from extinction,” she buries
herself in an investigative journalism career hunting down poachers
and exposing illegal trade in wildlife exotics. A survivor by nature,
she would rather fight injustice than maneuver the hassles and
heartache of relationships anyway.
When
danger suddenly finds her unprepared, Mika’s perception of her life
is shattered and she is hurled into a realm of magic and murder she
does not understand. Seduced by Bruin, the powerful and sexy warrior
who saves her life, Mika is catapulted into a world where
Were-creatures and Scourge assassins threaten not only her life but
her heart as well.
With
the boundary between worlds crumbling, Mika realizes that her destiny
to save the great species will draw her deeper into a reality more
terrifying to her than anything she has faced before.
Trusting
in love.

Excerpt:
Ambar
Lenn – Fate's Journey
Alone
in the dark, Aust sat at the bottom of the grand staircase of Jade's
manse, staring at the cryptic words mounted on the foyer wall.
Translated by the Centaur, Chiron of Deleran, the Queen Oracles'
prophesy hung opposite the double entrance doors. Aust's Elven
brothers and warrior friends boasted thoughts and theories as to its
meaning, but theories they remained. And on nights when reverie
evaded him—which occurred more oft than not—he sat within the
silent stone walls of Jade's new home and tried to glean the
prophesy's meaning:
Journey
of Fate, two realms to purge
Weapons
drawn against the Scourge
Blaze
of passion,
Trust
unearthed,
Cleansing
of past,
Spirit
rebirthed,
Fate
or free-will, which to choose?
With
love to gain and life to lose.
Darkness
hides in familiar form
A
brother's betrayal, a sister's storm
Empower
lost souls or evil shall reign
Noble
the child of argenteous mane
Journey
of Fate—the first line referred to their Ambar Lenn, everyone
agreed on that point. Four fortnights past, the inception of his,
Galan's and Thamior's journey to manhood had triggered unforeseen
events. On that night—the night the exile of his people was
lifted—the three of them had set off from the Highborne village to
find their path.
Aust
had yet to find anything . . . save grief.
His
Eda had been slain, his Naneth left heart-weary, and his people so
offended by his goddess-given affinity to communicate with his animal
brothers and sisters, they cast him out.
Galan
fared well enough, and for at least that much, he rejoiced. Jade was
a remarkable female, and to have Recognized with his mate . . . there
was no greater blessing. Together, partners in life and purpose, the
two now served Castian as Protectors of the Realm of the Fair.
Thamior's
journey? Well . . . Tham remained Tham e'ermore. Aust marveled at the
strength of spirit the male possessed, his love and wonder of all
things, the simple joy he found in living free within the Realm of
the Fair. Tham had yet to make any progress in his journey, yet paid
it no mind.
Weapons
drawn against the Scourge—Aust was more than ready to take up arms
against the enemy of the realm. He yearned to prove his value, burned
to avenge his dead. There were moments, the fury boiled so white-hot
in his blood, he almost drowned in the lure of vengeance and pain. He
quelled those impulses as best he could.
For
the choices made to navigate the journey of the Ambar Lenn would
determine if he could ever be thought of as a male of worth. And so
he pushed back the anguish and the anger and waited . . . .
About
the Author:
JL
Madore, lover of family, animals and chocolate has a soft spot for
romance and a hot button for sexy stories. She didn't find writing so
much as it found her. Waking each morning with a vivid cast of
characters tangled in chaos in her head, it seemed essential to
capture them on the page.
