Book Description:
Mika’s life has never been normal, but it’s
hers.
After being told by the Great Spirit to
stand up for the Earth Mother’s children and “save the great species from
extinction,” she buries herself in an investigative journalism career hunting
down poachers and exposing illegal trade in wildlife exotics. A survivor by
nature, she would rather fight injustice than maneuver the hassles and
heartache of relationships anyway.
When danger suddenly finds her
unprepared, Mika’s perception of her life is shattered and she is hurled into a
realm of magic and murder she does not understand. Seduced by Bruin, the
powerful and sexy warrior who saves her life, Mika is catapulted into a world
where Were-creatures and Scourge assassins threaten not only her life but her
heart as well.
With the boundary between worlds
crumbling, Mika realizes that her destiny to save the great species will draw
her deeper into a reality more terrifying to her than anything she has faced
before.
Trusting in love.

Excerpt:
Ambar Lenn – Fate's Journey
Alone in the dark, Aust
sat at the bottom of the grand staircase of Jade's manse, staring at the
cryptic words mounted on the foyer wall. Translated by the Centaur, Chiron of
Deleran, the Queen Oracles' prophesy hung opposite the double entrance doors.
Aust's Elven brothers and warrior friends boasted thoughts and theories as to
its meaning, but theories they remained. And on nights when reverie evaded
him—which occurred more oft than not—he sat within the silent stone walls of
Jade's new home and tried to glean the prophesy's meaning:
Journey of Fate, two realms to purge
Weapons drawn against the Scourge
Blaze of passion,
Trust unearthed,
Cleansing of past,
Spirit rebirthed,
Fate or free-will, which to choose?
With love to gain and life to lose.
Darkness hides in familiar form
A brother's betrayal, a sister's storm
Empower lost souls or evil shall reign
Noble the child of argenteous mane
Journey of Fate—the
first line referred to their Ambar Lenn, everyone agreed on that point. Four
fortnights past, the inception of his, Galan's and Thamior's journey to manhood
had triggered unforeseen events. On that night—the night the exile of his
people was lifted—the three of them had set off from the Highborne village to
find their path.
Aust had yet to find
anything . . . save grief.
His Eda had been slain,
his Naneth left heart-weary, and his people so offended by his goddess-given
affinity to communicate with his animal brothers and sisters, they cast him
out.
Galan fared well enough,
and for at least that much, he rejoiced. Jade was a remarkable female, and to
have Recognized with his mate . . . there was no greater blessing. Together,
partners in life and purpose, the two now served Castian as Protectors of the
Realm of the Fair.
Thamior's journey? Well
. . . Tham remained Tham e'ermore. Aust marveled at the strength of spirit the
male possessed, his love and wonder of all things, the simple joy he found in
living free within the Realm of the Fair. Tham had yet to make any progress in
his journey, yet paid it no mind.
Weapons drawn against
the Scourge—Aust was more than ready to take up arms against the enemy of the
realm. He yearned to prove his value, burned to avenge his dead. There were
moments, the fury boiled so white-hot in his blood, he almost drowned in the
lure of vengeance and pain. He quelled those impulses as best he could.
For the choices made to
navigate the journey of the Ambar Lenn would determine if he could ever be
thought of as a male of worth. And so he pushed back the anguish and the anger
and waited . . . .
About the Author:
JL Madore, lover of family, animals and chocolate has a soft spot for romance and a hot button for sexy stories. She didn't find writing so much as it found her. Waking each morning with a vivid cast of characters tangled in chaos in her head, it seemed essential to capture them on the page.
