Synopsis
Aeva Storm finally has the answers she’s been looking for since the night she was struck by lightning. She knows who she is—and more importantly, what she is. But her secret isn’t hers alone to keep, and some of those who know the truth will do anything to control her.
In the sequel to the acclaimed Violet Storm, Aeva must decide how far she’ll go to protect her identity and to find her missing sister in a world she hardly recognizes. She must embrace her new life—and her strange new body—if she hopes to save the only place she and her family have left to call home.
Filled with action, mystery, and heartbreak, Crimson Earth finds Aeva, Ruven, and Karth on opposing sides as the war between The False Alliance and the Monarchy draws near.
Can they band together to fight against the evil threatening the City? Or will they destroy each other before the war has even begun?
EXCERPT
Ruven’s lips twitch into the distant echo of a
smile—a rare sight these days. He moves to the other side of the wide corridor.
He’s hard to ignore. As a whole, Ruven is jarringly present in the space he
occupies. Mostly because of his unique modifications, making him incomparable
to any other human on this earth. And when those crimson eyes lock onto you…
it’s like being ensnared in a dream you’re not sure will turn into a nightmare.
Since I woke up from my near-death experience,
there never seems to be enough distance between us, and yet, for some reason
he’s always around. Some people are gluttons for punishment.
Don’t pretend you don’t care about him,
Aeva.
How the heckfire am I supposed to do anything
else? These days, my entire life revolves around pretending. Before the Monarch
died, Ruven had been my friend—my closest ally. And then things got a little
too intense. He told me how much he cared about me, and that he wanted
more than just friendship. But I struggled with the idea of us, because
there were more pressing issues occupying my mind—and my heart. I couldn’t give
him what he wanted and now things have changed between us.
I hate it.
I hate it for so many reasons that just thinking
about it makes me want to hurt someone.
There is no changing the past. No changing how I
feel.
