He put his wrists out in front, and as he spoke the words engraved on them, he turned his arms around slowly. “Dum spiramus tuebimur, which in English reads: while we breath, we shall defend,”...

Oh, now look what you’ve done. You’ve gone and pissed him off,” Breccan said as he stood behind two of the gypsies, one of his large hands clamped down on each of their shoulders.

If measuring by this earthly realm’s time then it’s been years but in the unseen realm above known as Vehaven, it has been but a moment.

Thais believed that in defeat the downtrodden, courageous soul would rise with the fiercest determination for victory. That is when the true spirit of warriors shined through and soared. A new day would dawn and...

He didn’t need a curse to realize the desire of his heart was to fight the Horfins of this land, the Kravens, and the darkness that had swayed his brothers toward evil. He would continue...

She knew from her visions that she would be one of them, one of the chosen, set apart and marked for her mate. Unlike her, the other chosen women lived on earth, regenerated from the...

You do not believe in the magic and power of this book only because you cannot comprehend that it is possible. The lack of faith of your part does not make the power less capable...

There were three, very large males standing above her, staring. She started from left to right. Big green-eyed male, big green-eyed male and, hey, lookie there, another big green-eyed male. Dear gods. Did I fall...

He was determined to stick with his plan, convincing himself to stay neutral and detached. That’s the plan!Then she leaned over him.

We all have scars, Wharick. Mine happen to be on the the outside,” Kathel answered but knew what he said wasn’t entirely true. He bore scars on the inside as well.

He was the most wickedly handsome creature she had ever seen in all her days. His hair was black as night, his stature large, his muscles were etched with precision into his smooth skin, every...

Oh, sweetheart, I am the worst male your precious gods could have chosen for you.” The expression on his face turned deadly serious. He leaned his face forward and down to get eye level with...

Kathel, you have the face of a scoundrel.” Her eyes drifted slowly over his face and landed for a moment on his full lips. “With lips created for sin.””Keirah,” he whispered, gently squeezing her hands....

Ummm, anyone else getting the creeps? Breccan asked. “Okay, let’s vote. Who here is in favor of daylight? Come on, show of hands. Don’t be shy.

Thais looked up from the book. For a moment he considered telling Kathel he didn’t really see anything, but knew it would do no good to lie. “The book recognized me.” Honesty won out. “Of...

Breccan stood for a second, deep in thought of what Darius had just described. “Dude, seriously, you gotta get a hobby. Oh, and anyone else want their mothers right now? Cause, damn, that was some...

The bantering between them only caused their connection to spark that much more. Instead of forcing them to be at odds with each other, arguing did the opposite. It caused the flame to rise on...

Are you telling me, or are you asking me?” Kathel said sarcastically.”Depends on your answer,” Wharickreplied. “Yes, Gwardian. It would be my honor to be your second.” “Then I was telling you,” Wharick told him.

If he sees you unclothed, I will have to kill him,” he spoke in her ear. She didn’t know if she should believe him or not, but she took no chances. “Tell him to leave,...

Hi there. I am the Gwarda, Breccan, the good-looking, sweet one.” He winked. “The one thundering, yet, remaining aloof,” he said loudly and continued, “is Darius. He’s a savage, you know,” he said quietly, leaning...

You know you really have to beware of gypsies in these parts,” he said teasingly, dismounting from his horse…Keirah gave him a small smile that she didn’t quite feel. “Good thing I have the Gwarda...

You may run from the calling, but, you will find no real peace until you fulfill your destiny.

Me? With only one woman forever and ever, blah, blah, blah. I don’t think so, brother. I am having too much fun with all the ladies in Johobin.”-Madison Thorne Grey, Sustenance (Breccan)

You’re causing the world to spin again, Keirah,” Wharick teased about her druid gift with nature. “You out of control? Do you need something to settle you down? he asked.

Your fiery spirit excites me, Keirah, like nothing I have ever felt before. Yet I have the overwhelming desire to put you over my knee when you don’t do as you are told.

Without even thinking about it, she reached out for warmth, reached out for acceptance. She was hurt and as much as she tried to build up the wall of protection and never let anyone in...

Had Keirah and her sisters known what was set in motion the day their stones appeared and how personally they would be affected by it, they would have still fought the darkness, still battled for...

A warmth spread throughtout Keirah’s body, in part from the closeness of Kathel, but mostly because she knew that he had meant Wharick. Kathel hadn’t even spoken Wharick’s name, but at the very inclination of...

Thank you, I think. And what is your name?” Keirah called out a bit more loudly, as she watched Darius retreat…”His name is of no consequence.” A male’s loud, booming voice came from behind the...

If they come to this forest, to us here, seeking shelter from the havoc that has been brought upon their lands, at the hands of evil, I say come. I say join us in this...

Why aren’t I seeing more tracks?” After no reply he repeated himself. “Helllloooo, why aren’t there more tracks?” His eyes examined the ground. Then he suddenly saw a foot? Breccan slowly lifted his head to...

Wharick, on the other hand, remained there with his eyebrows raised slightly as he waited for her to complain about his behavior. “You have no right, Wharick,” she said sternly. And there it is, he...

Even though he knew both of their hearts were taken by others, he recognized beauty when he saw it and appreciated it as any male would.

You will answer this day for your treason.” Then he added solemnly, “You break my heart, brother.” Before Eyramus could blink Thristan was gone.

Come here, female!” a thundering voice called out to Sorvus. A thrill of excitement at this male’s voice instantly shot up her spine. It is him, she thought. It is my Destoul.

One day, when you are sitting with my sister, Mahgen, around a fire, and you’re feeling how perfectly right it is to be next to her, this moment, this tease of desire between us, will...

You and your sister will be going with us this day, and that is not up for discussion.” He moved closer. “Nor will it be an argument.” He stepped even closer and leaned his head...

He looked down at the pillow that had fallen to the floor at his feet. “Are you seriously beginning a fight you cannot possibly win, druid?” he asked, his Gwarda green eyes deepening in color...

You know, Breccan, we were all born into this realm for a purpose. We were born to live in that forest,” Gunnar said, pointing ahead. He swallowed deeply as he continued to take in the...

There was no mistaking what the feeling of fullness in his heart meant. They were mates and were bound together. Forever. Wharick’s green eyes closed for a moment as he absorbed the feeling of completeness...
