SYNOPSIS **
Breena
Taljain’s idyllic days in Araboth came to a skidding halt when circumstances
forced her into the dangerous hinterlands. The dire sacrifice she made to
protect her comrades tainted her heart with hatred and despair. To cleanse
herself she must outrun Death’s relentless pursuit and venture into the bleak
unknown. With the odds stacked against her, stumbling into love when she least
expects it may very well be her saving grace.
Meanwhile,
succumbing to the Patriarch’s devious traps has Galbrecht Atalir questioning
his motives. The folly of his recklessness has left him physical scarred and
mentally traumatized. Now he must overcome more adversity as the wrath of the
Sin Ministry bears down upon him. He will need more than wits and quick fists
to find the truth he has sought for seven years.
Alas,
every second Breena is apart from Galbrecht draws her further into strife. With
her world rapidly crumbling inwards, she puts everything on the line for a last
stand against the ruthless force that threatens to destroy all she holds dear….

Excerpt
The cry Galbrecht had tried to repress shot
forth from his parched throat and startled his adversary into silence. Gone was
the dull agony from his wounds that the Prodynorph-32 would not heal. With it
went his concern about surviving the night and every desire that did not focus
on taking his enemy down. The Patriarch was the center of his world. Oddly
enough, the enigmatic sensation held no hatred. His very soul seethed with
feeling one moment and brimmed with purposeful emptiness the next.
The warped logic of Tairo’s story bothered
him. No amount of contemplation would change the end result. Revenge was all
that remained, pointless as it was.
So
it really is revenge you seek, not justice? His conscience
mocked him even now, at this pivotal moment. Nothing you can say or do will ever change the past.
Where
the line blurs matters not. I will have it. One way or another, I will!
Every shred of humanity in him receded to
an unknown crevice in the core of his blackened, racing heart. Whether the man
called himself Tairo, Surin, the Patriarch, or heaven knew what else mattered
not. Amending the past was outside of his power, but preserving the future was
not. He would make certain that the Sin Ministry never harmed another.
Eliminate
the head and the rest of the body will fall.
He had always ignored the truth. Now Tairo
exposed his grim reality and he accepted it. No…he welcomed it. The truth had
freed Galbrecht from his self-imposed chains. Memories would become nothing
more than whispers of the past again.
This would be the last time he bloodied his
hands.
This
is no way to live. I can’t go on with it. I’ve embraced darkness to find light
and found the way out, at last. He hesitated and
found the serenity that almost slithered away. I don’t care if he’s right or wrong, Adine. I’ll always love you, no
matter what.
He scarcely realized he had dashed forward
and nimbly evaded a wild swing of the studded ball until it whizzed by his
chin. He feinted to the right to throw Tairo off balance and loosed an uppercut
into his gut. The sound of the merciless impact upon his bare abdomen was like
a thunderclap from above. Galbrecht followed up with a ferocious roundhouse to
send the Patriarch careening into the boiler behind him.
The satisfaction from the surprise assault
heightened Galbrecht’s adrenaline. He pressed on until Tairo rolled to his feet
with surprising alacrity.
How
is he still moving after that?
Blood trickled out of the corner of Tairo’s
mouth. The perturbed sneer across his swelling lip revealed one shattered,
jagged incisor. The conniving smile that had doubtlessly enticed more than a
few clueless addicts had vanished.
“You’ve made a mess of things, Ghariel,” he
spat. Flecks of crimson mixed with his saliva. The anger and surprise in his
voice was undeniable. “Get ready to join your junkie wife in the pits of hell.”
Adine.
Galbrecht advanced with caution until Tairo
flailed his kusari-gama wildly. He sidestepped to avoid but only half
succeeded. Attacking the Patriarch head on was a one-way ticket to death.
Tairo swore an obscenity under his breath
and swung the studded end of his chain for the deathblow—
Then the unexpected happened.
