Court of Annwyn 2 Read Kindle PreviewTheir love could destroy a powerful reign and change the mortal world forever Raised in the mortal world, the fairy Taryn never planned on going back to Annwyn, much less to court. But with the power shift imminent, she is her parents' only hope of securing a pardon from exile and avoiding certain death. Verden, Lord of the Hunt, swore to serve the King. But as the magic of Annwyn fails and the Prince makes ready to take the throne, Verden knows his days as Hunter are numbered. When Taryn and Verden meet, their attraction is instant and devastating. Their love could bring down a Queen and change the mortal world forever. Excerpt A lean white dog with red tips on its ears and tail wandered in to her alcove. She quickly wiped away her tears and held out her hand. The dog trotted over for a sniff, and then a second dog rounded the corner. How many were there? Before she had time to fear the dogs, the gray-eyed man stood in front of her. He leaned against a tree and smiled. βNow why would a Lady just back at Court be so sad?β She searched his smoky gray eyes for a hint at his intent, but saw no malice. βYou leave a lover behind?β He took a step closer and the alcove seemed to grow smaller around them. Who was this Lord? His clothing wasnβt brightly colored and it didnβt glitter with gems, and yet this close, she could see that the fabric was covered in delicate stitches that shimmered in the light. The cuffs of his shirt were undone, the ties dangling. His dark brown hair was pulled back, but strands fell around his face, softening his otherwise sharp cheekbones and nose. He was beautiful even by fairy standardβand heβd followed her out here. She glanced at the dogs sitting obediently at his feet. Heβd sent them after her. Was she talking to the Lord of the Hunt? Her heart gave an extra beat. Taryn shook her head. She didnβt want him thinking she was crying over a human lover. βMy family.β βAh. They are in the mortal world.β He nodded as if confirming his information. How did he know? βBrownies, then?β βYes.β Being a Brownie was as good as it got in the mortal world, living in the home of a changeling, or more rarely a human, and keeping the house immaculate. A home within a home. A small exchange between human and fairy sealed the pact. It didnβt matter where fairies were; rank and social standing was important. Sheβd thought the stuffy all-girls school sheβd attended had prepared her for Court. It hadnβt. The dogs laid down and looked relaxed, but their eyes never left her. And neither did his. Heβd sought her, which meant he wanted something. What could a man with almost as much power as the King want from her? For half a second, she wanted to give him anything he asked for if he would help her get her fatherβs pardon. But that wouldnβt be a smart move. She almost smiledβshe did know something about Court and Annwyn politics, but caution made her careful. She had to confirm who he was first. βYour dogs?β βThey are, but donβt worry. They are well trained and wonβt harm you.β He moved a little closer to her. βBut there are plenty of others who would.β Start Reading LORD OF THE HUNT Now Court of Annwyn
