The second book in the New Avalon
series will be arriving soon! Here's a look at the beautiful cover,
designed by Natasha Brown.
Synopsis:
Elena Baxter’s
second year at New Avalon may be more challenging than her first. The demons
she was warned about show up, a visitor who greatly affects her arrives, and
her best friend, Izzy, has to deal with her painful past. Can Elena survive
everything that’s coming at her at once? Or will the future Lady of the Lake
take on more than she can possibly handle?
Excerpt:
Elena ran
through the dark woods, tree branches leaving deep, angry, red scratches on her
arms, legs, and face. Her legs were heavy and her feet were cold and damp. The
moist dirt of the forest floor began to seep through her shoes. She desperately
wanted to look behind her to see if the dark figures were still there, but she
dared not, afraid it would slow her down and they would catch up to
her.
She kept
running; she felt as though her lungs were about to explode and her heart would
burst out of her chest at any moment. Cold sweat broke out all over her
skin.
Just when she
thought she couldn’t run anymore, she reached the edge of a cliff that seemed
to appear out of nowhere. Peering through the heavy mist, she realized she had
run to one of the far edges of Avalon, and knew the only thing below her was
the icy cold ocean.
With nowhere
else to go, Elena turned to await the dark figures chasing her. She prepared to
use her magic on them, even with the knowledge that the few spells she had
learned so far would barely touch her oncoming attackers. She would defend
herself - she would not let them see how terrified she was.
As she watched
ahead of her, three dark figures appeared, and when they saw her, they came
rushing at her. They reached out their hands, casting their own spells faster
than she could react to them. As several fireballs headed toward her, Elena
began to scream.
