Heart of Fire
Kristen PainterMAGIC. MAYHEM. MURDER.
Eager
to find her place in the world and understand the frightening gifts
she’s been born with, Jessalyne Brandborn leaves her sheltered life to
become apprentice to the most powerful sorceress in Shaldar. She hires
Ertemis, the deadliest man in the realm, to get there.
With the
Legion’s bounty on his head, Ertemis is reluctant to escort Jessalyne
but needs the money she offers – especially if he’s ever to find out who
his father is. On the way, he discovers benefits to Jessalyne’s
naiveté; she treats him like an equal, not an outlaw.
Swayed by Ertemis’ gruff charm, Jessalyne starts to trust him and her emotional walls begin to crumble.
Little
do they know that within them lies the hope of the dying elven race,
the renewal of Shaldar's beleaguered kingdom and an incredible chance at
love. If they don't kill each other first.
Within a dark elf and a
firemage lies the hope of the dying elven race, the renewal of a
beleaguered kingdom and an incredible chance at love.
