Languages : en
Pages : 333
Book Description
HER PRIDE. HIS PREJUDICE. THEIR PASSION. As headstrong as she is beautiful, Lady Cassandra Vernham defied convention when she refused to marry the man who had compromised her. Now, estranged from her family, Cassandra struggles to make ends meet. A recent auction of her jewels has brought her a modicum of relief, but one of the most valuable lots was never paid for by the highest bidder: handsome, rakish Viscount Ambury. Cassandra needs that money badly, and not to buy a new hat. Ambury has only to look at Cassandra to begin imagining her in his bed… He has not settled that outstanding debt for a reason. He suspects that the expensive baubles were stolen, perhaps even by Cassandra herself. Erotic fantasies about her notwithstanding, the vixen is not to be trusted, for she has already destroyed his good friend—the man she refused to marry who later lost his life in a duel, which Ambury suspects was fought over Cassandra. But nothing is as it seems… As the seductive lord and the scandalous beauty are drawn together, the passion that flares between them will illuminate shocking secrets that will change both their lives forever…

Pages : 157
Book Description
The demons and psionics, humans with telepathy and other mental abilities, have the initial advantage during the First Terran War. The traditional humans can barely maintain their ranks. The tide starts to change when humans possessing elemental magic, sorcery, and advanced fighting techniques join the fray. The humans acquire and solidify their advantage when several scores of psionics turn against their brethren and demon allies. The demons retreat before their species confront extinction. Their psionic cohorts have been exiled to the island west of Pangaea. The victorious humans offer the psionic defectors sanctuary on Pangaea. The adept mentalists refuse and sail south, pledging to live their lives isolated from humans, demons, and psionics alike. The Psionians, as the western island's inhabitants have designated themselves, forged a new society from the ashes of their defeat. They created a new psionic power source using leyaEUR"line energies not frequently siphoned by sorcerers and other mystics. The Psionians developed subdesignations so that each citizen of their new island home, Psionia, could broaden their individual identities and contribute to the greater community. SeventyaEUR"five years later, as the Psionians thrive in their new existence independent of nonpsionic humans; Ultimus discovers his father and PsiaEUR"Lord, Maximilius, in a coma. As Cratius, the Master Panacean, tends to Maximilius's cerebral wounds, Ultimus ventures outside the PsiaEUR"Citadel in search of answers. The next day, Ultrina announces to the Psionians that Ultimus had been attacked hours earlier. She added that the body could not be found and the remaining evidence allows for only one conclusion. Sorcerers had assaulted their PsiaEUR"Lord and perhaps terminated her brother's existence. The Psionians, out of grief, rage and anger, agree that Ultrina should lead their people and that a retaliatory strike against Pangaea should be her first act. What does she have in store for Pangaea's sorcerers? Will the humans not adept in magic, sorcery, or other mystic arts share in the sorcerers' suffering? What about the descendants of the psionics who betrayed the Psionians decades ago? Once the incursion commences, will they side with their psionic brethren or, like their ancestors, fight alongside the nonpsionic humans? The answers do not matter. Ultrina made one promise after the sorcerers' assaults upon Maximilius and Ultimus. She would have her revenge.
