Description:
Years
of hard work preceded her entry to the Oval Office. She attended the
right prep schools and right colleges. She made sure to make all the
right contacts, ingratiating herself into the right circles. But all
those rights hadn’t been enough.
In
the end, she’d needed her mother.
And
now it was time to repay that debt.
Excerpt:
There
are no roads, tunnels, or bridges linking Earth to Beyond. Ships,
airplanes, or rockets can’t transport us there. The only passage is
through the Emerald Portal, the gateway between our two worlds. And
the only one who can grant access to the portal is the queen of
Beyond—my boyfriend’s mom.
My
name is Cordelia Hammer and I’m a demon. Not the human, teen
variety, but an actual supernatural. My father is the demon sovereign
of Paris. Each city has its own council made up of royal
representatives who oversee the supernatural activity of their kind
within their jurisdiction. Currently, I’m apprenticing for King
Sebastian, the demon sovereign of London.
As
I wondered what Jagger was talking about, digesting his words —
Mother insists that the new fae princess must be born at the palace —
a green mist appeared in the corner of the bedroom of the Seattle
hotel suite where Jagger and I were staying.
“I
suggest we both throw on some clothes,” Jagger muttered, picking up
his black jeans from the floor. “It would be unfortunate to appear
in front of my mother in our birthday suits.”
“Huh?”
“Hurry
up, Cordelia. We only have a few minutes before we get sucked into
that portal.”
“Is
that the Emerald Portal?” I looked at it in awe as the mist morphed
into a tunnel. I took a step toward it to peek inside.
“No!”
Jagger pulled me back. “Get dressed, please.”
“Into
what?” I had no idea what the weather was like in Beyond or whether
an audience with the queen of Beyond required formal attire. Jagger
had thrown on his favorite black jeans and white T-shirt, his black
motorcycle jacket in hand.
“Anything,”
he said. “Something comfortable. And make sure it’s very warm as
it’s always cold in Beyond—freezing, in fact. I’ll call GRIP in
the meantime to let them know that I won’t be in today.”
GRIP—the
Global Retrieval and Intelligence Program—that’s where Jagger
worked. GRIP had been founded following the attacks on the
international supernatural communities during Code Uprising to
monitor and curtail any subversive activity. It had become the
authoritative supernatural agency regulating the global communities.
Well, except for the subterranean troll population who seemed to be
completely unregulated. Jagger was part of the GRIP Tactical Combat
Force. I was pretty sure that they wouldn’t be happy with him
taking a day off right in the middle of the most critical time in
modern supernatural history, with a noncompliant supernatural moving
into the White House. Plus, just days ago, we’d captured Katerina
Miller—the monster responsible for the last spate of global
massacres—and were waiting to question her.
