Haven't heard of EVER THE BRAVE? Check it out!
Ever the Divided. Ever the Feared. Ever the Brave.
After saving King Aodren with her newfound Channeler powers, Britta only wants to live a peaceful life in her childhood home. Unfortunately, saving the King has created a tether between them she cannot sever, no matter how much she'd like to, and now he's insisting on making her a noble lady. And there are those who want to use Britta’s power for evil designs. If Britta cannot find a way to harness her new magical ability, her life—as well as her country—may be lost.
The stakes are higher than ever in the sequel to Ever the Hunted, as Britta struggles to protect her kingdom and her heart.
Now on to the excerpt!
The king and
his men ride away into the Ever Woods.
Gillian sweeps in, face beaming. I want to shake her shoulders and
erase that smile. I slam the door.
“You look murderous.” Gillian spins around, her skirts swishing
against the stone.
“I am.”
A blink. “You don’t like the dresses?”
“Really? You’ve been living with me for a month.”
“Right. So they’re not your usual choice, but they’re variety.
Something different form brown trousers.
“They’re for the Royal Winter Feast Ball. He wants to sprinkle
royal dust on me and make me noble.”
Gillian presses her hands to her cheeks and pretends to swoon.
“Stop it,” I snap.
She flounces into the bedroom and lifts a rose dress from the bed.
That grin. Seeds. She’s as mad as the
King Aodren.
The pull to the king, still taut in my chest, halves my attention
from her squealing prattle. I press my palm to my sternum. I’d give anything to
be free of him. To be able to live in peace on Papa’s land. But I don’t know
how to break the bond.
If Enat were still alive — the thought flattens me — she’d know what to do. She’d tell me how to free myself
from King Aodren. He’s been gone for five minutes, and I can still pick out his
location in the Ever Woods.
I pound my fist on the door. I have to figure out a way to rid
myself of the bond. I have to.
Gillian jerks to a stop. “It’s not the end of the world.”
I start to respond, but an answering rush of something strange and
shuddery slips under the surface of my skin. I lurch, cradling my suddenly
clammy hand, eyeing Gillian, then the door with growing alarm. Unease spreads
from the top of my head to my heels, a drop of poison fanning through a jar of
ale.
I’ve felt this way before.
“What is it?” Gillian’s fists crinkle a rose-colored gown. Breath
suddenly short, I yank the door open and stare deep into the Evers. The
breeze’s icy fingers caress my face. There’s nothing to see, but something is
very wrong.
“The king.”
About Erin:
Erin Summerill was born in
England.
After spending years bouncing between
Air Force bases in Hawaii,
England, and
California, her family settled in Utah,
where Erin graduated with
a B.A. in
English from Brigham Young University.
She had aspirations to write
the next
great American novel, but writing proved
tougher than she first
thought. So she
grabbed a Nikon and became a professional photographer while
crafting manuscript
after manuscript. The scenic detour of shooting weddings
across the United States,
as well as internationally, provided world-building
inspiration. It gave her the vision
to draft her debut YA fantasy, EVER THE
HUNTED. Now when she isn’t writing, or
shooting a wedding, she’s chasing her
four kids, two dogs, one cat, and five
chickens. This could be why she downs
massive amounts of Coke Zero and Hot
tamales.
