A
demigod who can kill with a touch. It’s an ability that must be
kept secret from everyone, even from those trusted most.
Finding
out that she was a witch was strange enough, but now Nicole must face
the realization that she has the rare power to kill with just a
touch. No one can know her secret—not even Blake, who she’s had
undeniable chemistry with since first moving to town.
Now
Nicole, Blake, and the three others with elemental powers must stop a
series of monsters that they previously believed to be dead from
rising once again and destroying the mortal world. The creatures they
face on this journey will be more dangerous than anything they’ve
encountered yet. Will they all survive the quest? And how long will
it be until Nicole is forced to use her ability to kill in front of
everyone, revealing the true darkness of her powers?
Find
out in The
Blood of the Hydra,
and join the Elementals on their next journey in their quest to save
the world—or die trying.
Excerpt:
“Back
up for a moment,” Blake said, and all heads turned to him. “Getting
the lotus seeds and the milk from Helios’s cattle sounds crazy, but
feasible. But the blood
of a slain hydra?
I know we’ve been practicing with our powers and weapons for a
month—and we’ve gotten pretty good at it, too—but the hydra is
one of the most dangerous creatures out there. Slaying it was one of
Hercules’s twelve labors. What if one of us gets hurt? Or worse?”
I
didn’t know if I was imagining it or not, but I could have sworn
that his gaze drifted to mine when he’d said that last part. It was
like he was saying that he didn’t want me
getting
hurt. My cheeks heated at the thought, and I focused on my hands,
unable to look at Blake without my feelings for him showing on my
face for everyone else to see.
“Hercules
was one person,” Chris pointed out. “We’re five.”
“Actually,
Hercules didn’t slay the hydra on his own,” Kate said. “He
needed help from his nephew.”
“But
neither of them had powers like ours.” Chris rubbed his hands
together, his confidence not wavering. “We’ve got this.”
“Oh,
I know we can slay the hydra.” Blake crossed his arms, as if
offended that anyone had thought he’d doubted our abilities. “We
just need to make sure that we all get back here alive.”
