Description:
Hunted
by Chaos. Protected by Death. Guided by Fire.
Terran
is now the key to a world she never knew existed.
Normal was what
Terran did best – house, job, dog, friends – rinse and repeat. She never knew
demigods existed, or that you could journey to other realms, manipulate nature
with your mind, or that the dead weren’t really gone at all, but instead
existed in the Underworld. No, she lived the mundane life of any
twenty-seven-year-old Alaskan girl…until she met Aiden, the complicated and
gorgeous new local art gallery owner.
As their fiery
relationship evolves into something more, Terran finds herself surrounded by a
world of nightmares and gods, when the mysterious Aiden proves to be more than
a simple man. Soon, Terran finds that she is not so simple herself. As an
ancient evil threatens to escape and unleash all Hell, Terran must dive into a
magical world she never knew existed to save them all…even if that means giving
up her life to do it.
Excerpt from Chasing the Sun
When I walked in, I could feel an energy in the air. Its warm and soft pulse had a slight humming sensation that tickled my skin. Wisps of heat surrounded my necklace as it pulsed ever so slightly. Amazing. I had taken care of these plants their whole lives, from seedlings to sale. They truly felt like a piece of me now. As I tended to the flowers in the back of the shop, blue, purple, white, and yellow petals swayed to a gentle rhythm as I moved to the music playing in my earbuds. Was this the gift Marc had given me? If it was, it had gotten stronger. No way, this could be real. It was so bizarre. I had to know if anyone else saw this. I needed to find someone I could trust. I decided I would call Jon.
I ran
to the ladies’ room and whipped out my phone. Please pick up, please pick up.
After five rings, he finally answered.
"Terran?
Sorry, I was in a meeting. What's up?"
"Are
you super busy? I need a favor, a kind of crazy favor."
"Okay.
Anything, but first are you okay?" It wasn’t like me to call Jon while he
was at the office, so his concern was definitely warranted.
"I'm
not hurt, but I might be crazy." I laughed, my tone laced with an anxiety
that couldn’t be contained. "Can you meet me at the nursery? I could use
your eyes for something."
"Sure.
I'll be there in about twenty. Do you need anything while I'm on my way?"
"Just
you, please. I'm in the back where we keep the marigolds."
It
only took Jon about fifteen minutes to get here. He must have been worried and
speeding. I was back with the marigolds when I heard him enter the room. I
turned to see him in his dark charcoal suit with a light blue dress shirt. He
looked handsome as usual.
"Are
you okay?" he asked as he came in to hug me. We embraced and I instantly
felt better. Jon always made me feel safe.
"I
think so, I just think I'm going crazy." Tears pooled in my eyes as I had
finally admitted out loud the one thing that I feared most.
"Oh,
sweetheart. I'm sure that's not true. What's going on?"
I
told him about the plants moving for me. I didn't want to repeat myself and I
knew Micah would want to know about Seth. I wasn't sure I wanted to share the
dancing plants bit with her.
"Watch…
"
I
leaned over the marigold and brushed the tips of my fingers across the petals,
moving my hand in a quick swipe over all the ones I could reach. Each little
red, yellow, and gold petal shivered and shook, wiggling like you would when
you get a chill, an involuntary movement. And like a newborn, they began
searching for their mother, swaying and leaning towards me. My pulse sped up,
the heat from my necklace warmed me to my core. It was a perfect heat, a warmth
that exhilarated my soul. I turned back to Jon, who watched with intensity. And
when I looked into his eyes, I could tell he had seen nothing. His eyes
saddened as he realized I knew.
