a stolen relic.
Zane – a jaded mercenary, torn by his undeniable desire for Ashlyn and the dark secret that could make her hate him forever.
Delistaire – a malevolent sorcerer driven by an insatiable lust for power.
All three are bound together by an ancient relic supposedly infused with the power of a Goddess.
Shadow Fire - adventure, passion, secrets, and betrayal
As Ashlyn and Zane race to stay one step ahead of the evil lurking in the shadows, their passions are ignited and their bond strengthens. But will they find the relic before Delistaire? Or has their entire quest been orchestrated from the very beginning by a madman in pursuit of ultimate power?

EXCERPT
Every step I take is one step closer to death.
Hiking through the dense
underbrush, I try to calm my frayed nerves and control the fear threatening to
overwhelm me. Twigs and tendrils of ivy grab at my ankles as I continue to
forge ahead, forcing me to wrench away from their skeletal grip. The sunlight
is fading, signaling the end of another day, but this is no ordinary day.
A loud crack pierces the air. I freeze in my tracks, my breath catching in
my throat. Whipping my head around, I try to locate the source of the sound. My
heart pounds in my chest, the erratic rhythm painful. These woods are full of
predators, some animal, some monster, but the worst… human. Taking a deep
breath, I listen to the surrounding woods: birds chirp, insects hum, and small
animals scurry about as if they have no care in the world.
Lungs burning, I force myself to
continue walking. I didn't collapse three weeks ago when this whole fiasco
started, and I won't give in now. My family needs me to be strong.
The trees become sparser as I
approach the edge of the forest. My shoulders slump when I pass the tree house
we used to play in so many years ago. Any other day when I'm this close to home
after a long day of hunting, I'd smile, breathe a sigh of relief, and perhaps
look forward to dinner. Today there will be no raucous family meal, no solace
in entering the peaceful village, and nothing to smile about.
The villagers will be awaiting my
return, skulking in the shadows, desperate to catch a glimpse of the walking
dead girl.
I've dealt with the whispers and
pointing for three weeks with my head held high, my anxiety hidden behind a
mask of indifference. I don't want them to see me like this, trembling in fear,
broken. They've taken everything I am, every hope, every dream I've had for the
future and smashed them to pieces with little hope of salvation. The townsfolk
of Verdane decided my fate and they chose death.
The elders told me being Chosen is an honor. Either they are
ignorant or apathetic. Every five years for the last twenty, a teenage girl has
been chosen by the town, via secret ballot, to undertake this dangerous quest,
never to return. Perhaps if the elders had to forfeit their lives instead they
wouldn't be so quick to label it an honor, they'd call it what it is… a
sacrifice.
Okay then......what a great teaser!!!! It's got my attention!
