Royal Blood-Book Two of the Forever Series.
(This is not a stand-alone title. It is meant to follow Dreamer: Book One)
What if everything you thought was true, suddenly wasn't? Sadie always knew she was different...but magical? She has recently found out that her mother was really the Queen of all Magicals, which leaves Sadie with more questions than answers. Thankfully she has Sebastian, an amazing, handsome Mandurago (aka Vampire) that she's quickly finding herself falling in love with. Life is changing in remarkable ways, until the day Sadie finds out that her mother had promised her to another. When it comes to Lars Dracco, he will do anything, at any cost, to steal her away from Sebastian.
Learning about her new powers, falling in love the first time and embracing her new life is a huge challenge. One she's up for, with a little help from her friends, but what happens when she finally meets the man she's promised to? Could she love yet another or will her love for Sebastian hold strong?
Excerpt from Dreamer- Book One:
“We have a lot to tell you, Honey,” my Mother said sweetly. Yet the worried look on her face didn't match the tone of her voice. “Things we have been waiting to discuss with you until we thought the time was right. We had hoped you would be older, but I guess now is as good of a time as any.” She leaned in closer to me, her eyes meeting mine. “You were not left at the train station as we had told you. You were not abandoned. We needed the world to believe that story so you would be safe.” She put her arm around me as if to hold me together for the news she was about to tell me.
“The reality is that you come from a land high in the mountains of India,” she said, looking wistful as she continued to speak. “From a very special village, where many extraordinary people have lived for thousands of years in harmony. We, the Magicals that inhabited the village, were from all over the world, from different origins and backgrounds, and were very happy in our little community. Until one day, when the Draccos came upon our town. They were a vicious clan of people who wanted everything we had and would not stop until they got it. Their leader’s plan was to take the Queen and rule the kingdom, and make her give to them her unborn child. It was foretold that the Queen was bearing a very special child. Not only was she of powerful royal blood, but she was prophesied to be a very rare soul as well.”
“We fought against the Dracco clan until the Queen gave birth. We realized then that the Royal child was even rarer than it was originally predicted. She had been born with the mark of the Mandurago. The villagers, fearing the worst for the child, helped the Queen sneak the baby out of the kingdom. The Draccos were so enraged when they found the child missing, that they took their fire to the kingdom and burned it down. Only a few escaped to tell the tale.” My mother’s eyes were wet, tears began to roll down her cheeks.
My dad smiled at me and continued on with the story. “We were chosen out of all the Magicals in the village to raise you. We had been in America when the final attack happened. You came to us that stormy night and we vowed never to let anything harm you or anyone find out who you truly were.”
“Who am I?” I demanded.
My dad looked deep in my eyes and gently said to me. “You are Kali, Princess of the Oubliettes and marked soulmate of the Mandurago.” The room began to spin and I hit the floor. I remembered hearing my mom shouting something, but I let the blackness take me in.
