JUST
YOUR AVERAGE MEGA-WITCH. . . .
It’s
tough being a modern woman, but Persephone Alcmedi has it worse than
most. Being the prophesied Lustrata has kicked her career as a witch
into high gear, and juggling a wærewolf boyfriend who is about to
become king of his kind and a seductive vampire who bears her magical
Mark isn’t easy either.
Still,
Seph’s beloved foster daughter, Beverley, is causing more trouble
than these two men put together. The young girl’s been playing with
a magical artifact that’s far more dangerous than she realizes. Now
Seph must summon help from a mystical being so potent that even
vampires fear him . . . and the cost of his aid may be more than
she’s willing to pay. Seph, Johnny, and Menessos face threats from
all sides—and a few from within. Will the forces of destiny cement
their tenuous supernatural union, or shatter it forever?
Excerpt:
There
were many prophesies concerning the Lustrata. The one that the
vampires were most concerned with claimed she was incredibly valuable
to them. Because of this, they could not dare to kill her. But they
could do much without killing her. The question was: What would
interfere with her destiny, and what wouldn’t?
Menessos
would know the most about it, so Goliath resolved to follow his
Maker’s lead. “Dabbling in the destiny that Menessos, the witch,
and the Domn Lup share is a hazardous pastime, Mero. I strongly
suggest you stay the hell out of their way.”
Mero
quoted the prophesy:
“Lustrata
walks,
unspoiled
into the light.
Sickle
in hand,
she
stalks through the night
wearing
naught but her mark and silver blade.
The
moonchild of ruin, she becomes Wolfsbane.
“According
to my interpretation,” Mero concluded, “she must
be
marked.”
Menessos
breathed deep. Releasing it, he said, “Your interpretation is
bullshit.”
Mero’s
brows rose in surprise.
Goliath
struggled to keep a laugh from getting out.
“The
Witch Elders Council will not stand for their Lustrata to be marked
by the Excelsior,” Menessos said. “Would you risk a war?”
