BLURB:
Seventeen
year old Ryleigh Donnovan is certain her life is cursed. Nothing ever goes
smoothly, and her first job interview is no exception. An earthquake rocks the
building, sending Ryleigh on a frantic search for her younger sister, a search
which lands her in the hospital. Terrified they’ll push her for answers she
can’t afford to give, Ryleigh flees with a mysterious stranger.
Jackson Maynard is
about to be ordained as a Death Dealer, a warrior for the Kingdom of Cymmera,
but first he must pass one more test. When he fails to acquire the human girl
the prophet has chosen, he’s forced to stand trial for treason. Banished from
his realm, he seeks out the girl from the vision, Ryleigh Donnovan, and
together they embark on a journey to save his dying kingdom.

Excerpt:
Ryleigh stood. This couldn’t be happening. With only a few
months left until graduation, she didn’t want to be forced to drop out, but
what else could she do? “Look, Mr. Jacobs, can’t you just—” Vertigo assailed
her. The room rocked, and she grabbed the desk.
Mr. Jacobs grabbed the back of his chair. His eyes mirrored
her panic. Books flew from the shelves. Glass shattered.
She had to get to Mia.
She turned to run. The building bucked, and she toppled,
slamming her knee into the hard wood floor. Pain shot up her leg. She grabbed
the chair to pull herself up, but the next wave threw her back down. She tried
to regain her footing, but someone yanked her to the ground.
“Stay down.” Mr. Jacobs shoved her forward. He crawled
beside her, half pushing, half dragging her toward the door.
Debris pelted her back, shoulders, and head. How could she
have left Mia? Tears blurred her vision.
“If it’s an earthquake, it should stop any minute. Just keep
crawling toward the door.”
Desperately wishing she could cover her ears to block the
screaming, she clawed forward. Her knee dragged behind her, pain pulsing with
each movement. Falling apart wouldn’t help matters. She had to get to Mia.
Ryleigh crawled through the doorway, into utter chaos.
People trying to push through the mess, others huddled in corners shielding
their heads. An injured woman cried as she rocked back and forth clutching her
arm. A man crouched over her.
Fear and disorientation held Ryleigh immobile.
