Monday Moments extends a huge welcome to a brand new visitor. My new author friend Zoe Forward, who also writes for The Wild Rose Press, has come to share her new paranormal release - Dawn of a Dark Knight.
That's a very arresting cover, Zoe!
Blurb:
In
the shadows of our world, a secret band of warriors fights to protect us. They
are the last line of defense against an evil no human can stop.
An
ancient nemesis has resurfaced. Duty demands that Ashor Vlahos, Scimitar Magi
commander, recruit a magical healer to fortify the remaining eight magi. The
gods' choice is the woman who helped him escape torture a decade ago. Ashor
couldn't have imagined a better punishment for his vow-breaker homicidal
incidents than for the gods to bind him irrevocably to the only woman in the
universe he cannot have. The soul-searing desire she ignites in him is strictly
forbidden.
Kira
Hardy, M.D. is a brilliant, hardworking internal med resident with big secrets.
But when Ashor asks for aid after a brutal daemon attack, she is sucked into
his dangerous, secret world. Enslavement to the magi, no matter how hot they are,
may be an unattractive life plan, but being targeted for death by their enemies
is less tolerable.
She
must trust the sexy, tormented Ashor to keep her safe while he must deny his
ultimate desire and keep Kira at arm’s length lest he bring destruction down on
them both. As a centuries-old evil catches up to them, they face a crucial
decision—follow the gods' rules or follow their hearts.
Zoe's sharing a little with us today:
“Watch out,” Kira shrieked as a four-door import
pulled alongside the SUV. The driver targeted Ashor with a gun.
“Down,” Ashor commanded. He dodged the firing muzzle
and grabbed Kira forward to avoid the bullet’s path. The bullet left clean
holes in the side windows and a spiderweb of cracked glass.
“Persistent bastards,” Ashor grumbled as he jammed
the SUV into gear and rammed the car next to them before peeling away. Just as
they hit the road, Ashor’s new cell phone squealed in a high-pitched, synthetic,
musical noise.
“You okay?” he asked, ignoring the phone. To clear
his side view, Ashor thrust his elbow through the spiderweb of cracked safety
glass. Glass cubes showered everywhere. “Shit.” He wiped his body free of
debris.
“I’m fine,” she replied. She whiplashed into the
seat as the SUV was rammed forward.
Ashor tapped the brakes. The cars crashed together
again, slamming them forward and then forcefully back in their seats.
“Can’t you do a spell or something to protect this
car or make his explode?” Kira asked.
“What? No.”
“Aren’t you a magus, which implies magician or
sorcerer? You guys are supposed to do magic spells.”
“The spells were lost.” His phone rang again.
“Lost? What kind of moronic organization loses the
spells!”
