BOOK SYNOPSIS
After Jaiden found Daniah in Juniper, they returned to
Garnet City. Daniah is destined to become Queen of Zoku, a race of angel
half-breeds who protect the humans from a soul-stealing evil. Now, Daniah is
learning of her abilities and responsibilities as queen. Just as things seem to
be going smoothly, a group of Zoku show up to help, led by an angel, Shelly.
Mallory has been on her own for most of her life, trying to protect and save
those around her. She is Toyek, and she's been hiding in plain sight while
fighting for her life. She is intent on finding her friends' daughter, whatever
the cost, when an innocent trip to the supermarket takes an interesting turn.
Orion has been hired to find a female and, as a Tracker, finding people is his
specialty. He finds much more than he was looking for when he runs into the
beautiful Mallory. While pursuing both his target and the resistant Mallory, he
finds himself fighting to defend Princess Daniah and the Zoku. Can Orion and
Mallory work together to help Daniah be the hope the Zoku so desperately need?
Or will a few surprises and a tragedy be all it takes to break the united front
of the Zoku fighting against the evil Meikal?

EXCERPT
“Cord, come dance with me,” I suggest, sliding out of my
chair and holding my hand out to her.
She looks up at me in surprise then blushes and reaches her
good hand up to clasp mine and we head to the dance floor. The music has all
been slower songs, which is good because with her broken arm Cord wouldn’t be
able to get too crazy.
I slide one arm around her waist and pull her against me
while taking her free hand in mine. We sway to the music and I notice the beat
changes into another song which is a bit faster, so I dip Cord back then nudge
her gently with my arm at her waist while pulling her other arm, making her go
in a circle before pulling her body back up against mine.
She giggles. “This is fun, and you’re quite good,” she says
smiling up at me. “Even with my bum arm.”
I smile back and respond, “thank you.” Then we continue on,
me dipping, swaying, pushing away pulling her back against me. I twist her so
that her back is against me and we sway in time to the music. I drop my head
against her shoulder and lay my cheek against hers.
“You’re pretty good at this yourself,” I say into her ear
and feel her body tremble against mine as she lays her head back against my
chest. ““Even with your bum arm.”
We sway a bit more, before I spin her around again and dip
her before bringing her up against my body, lifting her to where her face is
close to mine. We are still swaying slightly as the music changes again, and
then, looking into her eyes and her flushed face, I lean closer, my eyes
falling to her lips.
I feel her take in a breath and hear it catch in her throat.
I release her hand and slide both of my arms around her, one on her waist and
the other around her back. Her hand moves to my shoulder and I feel her pull me
closer. My eyes flick back up to hers, which are locked onto my mouth. Without
another thought, I lean in and press my lips against hers softly. My hand moves
to her nape as I cradle her against me.
I feel a shock at the first touch of our lips and then I
feel Cord press herself even closer to me as she pulls at my shoulder. She is
everything I have been wanting and more than I had hoped for. Her lips are soft
and warm, molding against mine; her body is lean and muscled, though still
soft. Her hand moves up to my hair and she lightly scratches my scalp and I
moan into her mouth feeling the touch all throughout my body.
I move my lips against hers, lightly swiping my tongue
against her lower lip, coaxing her to open for me. She does, sucking in a
shuddering breath, and I thrust my tongue into her mouth. I feel as well as
hear her groan in to my mouth as she angles her mouth against mine.
I pull back from her mouth and move to her neck, lightly
leaving open- mouthed kisses along her jaw and neck. I have waited years to
finally kiss her, and I have wanted her more the last few days. “Cord,” I
whisper and I feel her body stiffen.
I pull back and look at her in question. She looks up at me
with indecision all over her face, though I can see the desire in her
eyes.

Daniah is different, she always has been and now her dreams
and visions of the future are increasing, she knows her life is changing. She
just doesn't know by how much...
Jaiden is different, but he knows why and he knows his
responsibilities. He must find the saviour of his race, the angel human
half-breeds who are fighting a war for humanity's souls. If he can't convince
Daniah she is more than just a little different - she is the princess of their
people - they are all going to die.
Unfortunately Daniah doesn't have many reasons to trust

find the strength to become the princess we all need.
Chelsea O'Neal has a unique voice in storytelling, threading
