Book
Excerpt
The moment he released his grip on me,
I gasped for air. With not a moment to lose, I raised my sword above my head
with a strength and agility I didn’t know I possessed. Then I was charging at
Cabhan, who met my challenge running toward me.
“Kellen, no.” I was frozen in
mid-air. Calienta had crooked a finger at me and frozen me in place. “You can’t
kill him, Kellen, you’re a mortal. He’ll take your life. Please back down.” She
released me and I dropped to the ground, my knees like jelly.
Color
flooded my face as humiliation coursed through my veins. I was about to tell
her my real thoughts when I glanced down at the sword in my hand and noticed an
inscription on the hilt: Claíomh Solais.
I rose to my feet, gripping
Calienta’s arm. “Look, you have to trust me on this. I know what to do.”
Her
eyes met mine, confused, afraid. I sensed her anger and fear all at once as she
spoke. “How do you know what to do? How could you?”
“You
have to trust me. You asked me to trust you once; do you trust me?”
Her
eyes lingered on mine, intense, concerned. “I do.”
About the Book
The world is about to be
cloaked in darkness. Only one can stop the night.
Kellen St. James has spent his entire
life being overlooked as an unwanted, ordinary, slightly geeky kid. That is
until a beautiful girl, one who has haunted his dreams for the past eleven
years of his life, shows up spinning tales of a prophecy. Not just any old
prophecy either, but one in which Kellen plays a key role.
Suddenly, Kellen finds himself on the
run through a Celtic underworld of faeries and demons, angels and gods, not to
mention a really ticked off pack of hellhounds, all in order to save the world
from darkness. But will they make it in time?
