MOONLESS by Crystal Collier
Alexia’s nightmares become reality: a dead baron, red-eyed wraiths, and forbidden love with a man hunted by these creatures. After an attack close to home, Alexia realizes she cannot keep one foot in her old life and one in this new world. To protect her family she must either be sold into a loveless marriage, or escape with her beloved and risk becoming one of the Soulless.

Happy hunting!
Kiren unlatched the balcony door with a thin metal hook and slipped inside. He refastened the catch, gut twisting at the moonless sky beyond the glass. How long would his luck hold?
Alexia lay on her back, one arm lost in her mass of dark hair, the other tucked across her chest. A foot dangled off the edge of the mattress, tempting him to slip it back beneath her blanket.
He grinned, envying her carefree abandon. Her latest read lay on the bed beside an extinguished candle. He lifted it. Fanciful words danced back at him. They too made him smile. She wanted adventure. He could supply that.
His eyes landed on the card he’d given her father and his smirk died. It had been shredded and reconstructed. His chest tightened. “Oh Alexia . . .”
Crystal, author of MOONLESS, is a former composer/writer for Black Diamond Productions. She can be found practicing her brother-induced ninja skills while teaching children or madly typing about fantastic and impossible creatures. She has lived from coast to coast and now calls Florida home with her creative husband, three littles, and “friend” (a.k.a. the zombie locked in her closet). Secretly, she dreams of world domination and a bottomless supply of cheese. You can find her on her blog and Facebook, or follow her on Twitter.Links:

Restoring stuff takes forever...*dramatic sigh*
Here's hoping all your electronic woes stay far, far away after the restoration.
DeleteYet another stellar excerpt, Crystal! Your words are always so lyrical...

DeleteGosh and yay, finally, I have arrived. Of course, I had to finish off some of that superior British cheese. When I moved to England, I thanked my lucky stars when I realised how much better cheese is in lil' ol' England. Ah yes, delicious cheese that doesn't taste like wax. Not that I eat wax.
ReplyDeleteOh, hello Elise and all your other bloggy friends. And hey Crystal, you are all over the place with your tour. And yes indeed, I another one of your zillions of starstruck fans! :)
