The end of an Empire, The rise of a Queen
Emory Fae enjoys leading a quiet, normal life. That is until two mysterious,
and handsome soldiers show up at her apartment, and the life she knew is
instantly whisked away. Memphis Carter and Brokk Foster come from the magical
and war ridden world of Kiero, and upon Emory's arrival she will discover she
is the long lost heir to the Royal Line and is thrown into the Black Dawn
Rebellion with a dynamic role to ignite the rebels and reclaim her
throne.
With both men being darkly woven in her past Emory uncovers hidden secrets, a
power held long dormant, and will soon realize there are worse things than
supernatural humans, love, loss, betrayal, and a Mad King.
Some things are better left in the shadows.
Nyx murmured, “Except there is no one left. The monarchy was
built on the Fae’s name, but who is left of that line? Emory is gone. There is
no one to oppose him other than us.”
Nei, Roque…Emory. The Academy had been created by the Fae’s
to allow a place where humans who had powerful abilities could train and form a
government based on equality and prosperity. They were Kiero’s guardians and
maintained the balance. That was until Adair had set the world on fire and
tipped the scales forever.
Brokk locked eyes with his Commander and knew he was
definitely going to be sick. Slightly gasping, “Excuse me,” he scrambled out of
the room into the hallway, gulping the damp air. Black spots danced in his
vision, threatening to take over. Brokk heard a shuffle of feet and the
clicking of the door, then Memphis was standing over him, arms crossed and
whispering with venom in his voice, “Pull yourself
together Brokk. It’s too obvious that something is wrong.”
Brokk stood up with force, making the world tilt. “We have
to tell them. It’s been too long and
nothing is getting better. It’s time to make a difference. She could be our
difference.”
Brokk knew it was a low blow as Memphis retorted, “You don’t
think I realize that as well? But how is everyone going to react when their
leaders have kept this a secret for six years? There will be an uprising.”
“The Rebellion will see reason. We start with the team and
then go from there. We start with our friends. We owe them that much.”
Memphis ran a hand through his hair, dark circles burning
under his eyes. Loosening a breath, he looked to Brokk. “We do this together.”
Brokk stepped closer to his friend, softly saying, “Always.”
Keeping a firm
hold on his churning breakfast, he reentered Command knowing that when he came
out, everything will have changed.
