Part of Darkness
First published 2014
Ember Brycin should be twenty-two, but time moves differently when you are part Demon, part Fay, and part Dark Dweller. Back from the Otherworld, she has two powerful enemies closing in. The Seelie Queen has been hunting her without pause. The Unseelie King wants her dead for breaking a sworn oath, and he does not forgive that lightly. At the Dark Dwellers' compound, Eli is volatile and pulling away from her, but Ember can feel the connection between them even when he turns cruel. She knows he is keeping something back, something big enough to reshape everything between them. Meanwhile, both Seelie and Unseelie factions are pushing toward open war, and the compound is bracing for a dangerous mission to recover the Sword of Light, the one weapon that can kill the Queen. The question no one can answer cleanly is whether Ember herself holds the key to finding it, and whether she is the person named in the prophecy. Every answer she gets opens a new problem.
