Jahn and Alix are twin brothers who became Emperor and
Prince of Columbyanan, but it they weren't born to the
titles. Six years ago, the brothers had been sentinels
fighting the demon-possessed Ciro when they were spotted by
key court officials and persuaded to take on living the
lives of the brothers who died too soon. Now Jahn is
searching for his Empresses and he's changing the rules
again. This time his potential brides are being brought to
him and Alix has been sent to retrieve Princess Edlyn.
Along with the Princess, Alix is given Sanura a beautiful
Agnese woman who, like all Agnese women, could see the
truth of a person no matter how they tried to hide their
true soul. To ensure that no man touches her but the
intended recipient, Sanura is painted blue and her keepers
will kill any man with a blue mark who is not the Emperor.
On the journey, the life Alix led as the soul Trystan
begins to bleed into his current life's soul. Sanura
recognizes the struggle and is determined to help Alix as
much as she can, even though the darker soul of Trystan is
willing to risk his life to be with her.
Another potential bride Verity and her entourage, including
the guard Laris, begin a separate journey to the Emperor.
They are drawn to each other but their stations in life are
so different, how could either possibly consider a future
together?
As these groups move closer to their destination, they
people involved need to decide who they want to be and want
they truly want out of life.
UNTOUCHABLE is complex and the characters inhabit an
strangely familiar world. The nature of choices and how
those choices can change a person is worth a second
thought. The second book in this series, 22 NIGHTS, is
coming December 2008.
For the Emperor of Colymbyana, no bride can compare to
Sanura,
an exotic slave with the power to see into men's souls. To
touch her brings incredible pleasure — and certain death.
Even for his brother, who loves her ardently. This is their
story.
