As the daughter of an angel and a mermaid, Alexis is very
special and very protected. Between her parents and her sea
witch godmother, she has magic spells and a legion of
Angels to protect her from everyday living and the evil
lurking on earth.
All mermaids have unique abilities, such as the gift to
heal others or to foresee the future; Alexis' gift is the
ability to feel what others are feeling -- happiness, rage,
despair and love. Because she lives among humans, Alexis
must have magic shields in place so she is not overwhelmed
by everyone around her. The one place Alexis feels safe is
in her dreams, but for creatures like her, dreams are not
always what they seem. One night, a beautiful and tempting
man comes to her in a dream, bringing her own desires to
the surface. What she doesn't know is that he is real and
means to use her for his own gains.
Mina, the sea witch, doomed Dante to a place worse than
Hell with a promise; if he can prove he is worthy enough,
she will free him. So he spends 20 years finding the right
spells, using women as blood sacrifices to gain entry into
the dream world to capture and kill the one weakness the
sea witch has -- Alexis. His intention is to keep her with
him for at least 48 hours. Any more time than that in his
world will kill her slowly and painfully as Mina opens a
portal out of his own personal nightmare. All he has ever
known is violence, rage and killing, so having Alexis in
his domain with her soul of light, he finds himself wanting
to learn more about her and where she is from. The cravings
he begins to feel for her are foreign and confusing, but do
not stand in the way of his own desire to be free, yet he
hesitates to leave her behind to die.
Hill's world of mermaids and angels is electrifying, dark,
clever and awe-inspiring, as is all her work. For those who
read her faithfully, there is an exciting surprise awaiting
you. A truly spectacular read!
Growing up the daughter of a famous mermaid and the second
in command of the angelic legions can put a lot of
pressure on a girl. Though she loves her parents, Alexis
has chosen to live among humans as an ordinary college
girl, but she can’t hide the tranquil aura of angelic
light and empathic ability that draws people to her.
Unfortunately, while it draws men to her, none of them are
willing to cross the line to find her true heart and soul –
or even give her a decently passionate kiss. That is,
until she begins to dream of a male trapped in fire and
rage, who wants her so badly he’ll tear the universe apart
to have her. However, while all she can feel is his pain
and suffering, and a yearning to heal him, Dante sees her
as the way to his freedom. He thinks he’s willing to
destroy her to accomplish that, but once he kidnaps her
into his world and is confronted with the girl who is the
opposite of everything he’s ever known, he starts to
wonder if his freedom is as important as keeping her by
his side.
