Synopsis
Molly finally uncovers the truth about the
strange dreams that plagued her sanity for weeks. Now destined to accept a
clandestine role, Molly must find the strength and courage buried deep to push
forward and succeed.
With the help of Dev, the roguish blue-eyed
man of her dreams—whose dark past resurfaces to haunt him—Molly prepares to
test the limits of her newly awakened powers and set right a world on the edge
of being consumed by nightmares.
But when an unknown shadow stalks her every
step and a shocking revelation about her ancestry comes to light, Molly may
find herself forced to make a decision that could leave her alone in the dark
and standing on the wrong side of a divide.
Excerpt
Clapping echoes in the room, and I glance up
to find Dev casually leaning against the wall next to the door. His eyes are
narrowed with appraisal, and his mouth is half-cocked in his signature amused
smile. “Impressive,” he says as he pushes off the wall and slowly walks toward
us. His sudden appearance and graceful saunter rock me out of my fighting
mind-set. I take in his broad shoulders and the way his shirt hugs him like a
jealous girlfriend.
Letting go of Rae, I tuck strands of hair
that fell from my ponytail behind my ear, suddenly aware of how sweaty I am.
“Thanks.”
“I’d like to see what you could do against a
real opponent,” he says with a smirk, crossing his arms. The stance calls
attention to his biceps, the same ones I once found myself mortifyingly
squeezing.
I leer at him. “And I’m sure you think you’re
said opponent?”
“There’s only one way to find out.”
Rae fluidly stands from his fall and drapes
an arm around me. “Molly here is a natural.”
I snort out a laugh. “And I’m sure retaining
past Dreamers’ abilities has nothing to do with it.”
“Don’t be so modest.” He squeezes my
shoulder.
“Have you practiced with any weapons yet?”
Dev moves toward an empty wall in the center of the room. Placing a hand on it,
the area drops out, revealing a rack of diverse armament. There’s an abundance
of blades, and my eyes pause on two hook swords, knowing how they feel in my
grip, before traveling on to the axes, clubs, daggers, unusual looking guns,
and blunt staffs. Here is where Dev stands, taking out two Bō—a Japanese long
staff weapon. Somehow I know all the names and uses of these objects, except
for some of the guns. Those remain foreign.
The only difference with these weapons and
the ones I’d find at home is the material in which they are made—the same
strange gunmetal aluminum as the Arcus. And if my memories from past Dreamers
are anything to go by, they can be filled with an altered form of Navitas,
making them glow the hot blue-white, and lethal toward any opponent.
“I was saving that part of the training for
later,” Rae explains soberly.
“Where’s the fun in that?” Dev asks, handling
the Bō naturally as he walks back to us. “She seems to have grasped her
hand-to-hand combat for today. Why not finish with a little sparring?”
“See what I mean about the tough teacher,”
Rae mutters to me.
“What do you say, Molly? Care to give me a
go?” Dev taunts, holding one Bō while twirling the other.
I narrow my eyes and extend a hand. “I know I
won’t hear the end of it until I do.”
He gives me one of his sexy grins while
throwing me the staff. I snatch it from the air, immediately knowing I’ve been
trained in the art of bōjutus.
I smile back.
Oh, it’s on.
As if reading my thoughts and without any
further warning, Dev sweeps toward me. His intense blue eyes are the last
things I register before my mind switches off and I lunge back.
