Heidel, Wult warrior princess, is having a bad day.
First, a pack of wraiths chased her from a dragon’s vault. Then, the thief she traveled with, Maveryck, who was supposed to be a professional, lost the staff they stole. Instead of reclaiming it, he created a portal that sucked them into a nightmarish world full of noxious fumes and mechanical beasts. Earth.
To make matters worse, Heidel is now stuck with the incompetent thief in Paris, France, and they have no way to get back home. As if that wasn’t bad enough, Maveryck is keeping secrets from her—secrets about his past and his identity. Plus, he’s far too attractive to be trusted. She’s been on hellish quests before, but nothing has ever been more difficult than guarding her heart. And she’s pretty sure she’s going to fail. Miserably.

Excerpt:
“I fail to see how we’re lucky. We’re trapped
in an unfamiliar world with no way of returning home. The staff is gone, and I
have a suspicion that if we find it, we will not live long enough to return it
to the sky king.”
Maveryck
gave me a condescending smile. “Perhaps you
will not live long enough,” he said as he stood, and without further
explanation, he limped away from me and down a narrow hallway. I hesitated
before following him. Navigating alone through a tomb like this would be
suicide, so I reluctantly trailed him, barely keeping my temper in check.
“Where
are you going?” I demanded.
“To
find a way out of here.”
“What
then?” I asked. “Where will we go? How will we find the staff? How will we
return home? Have you the magic to create portals?”
He
rounded on me, his jaw clenched. “First, and listen very clearly, I’m not in
the habit of answering questions—not from you or anyone else. Second, I’m not
your friend, nor am I trying to help you. For the time being, we share the same
goal, so I will work with you in order to bring the staff back. After that, our
partnership will be dissolved. I’ve never lost an object before, and it won’t
happen now. If you impede me in any way, I will aid you no more.”
“Have
you forgotten who my brother is? Should you return to Faythander without me,
what do you think the king will do to you?”
“I
don’t care.”
“You
might care when you’re rotting in the Wult dungeons.”
“I
doubt he would throw me in the dungeons for leaving you. In all honesty, I
believe he would reward me.”
Now
he’d pushed too far. I’d had an ill feeling about this man from the moment I’d
met him, and I would tolerate his superior attitude no more. I shoved him
against the wall, pressing the weight of my body against him, making the stacks
of skeletal remains rattle behind us.
“Enough,”
I hissed. “I will not tolerate being spoken to in such a manner.”
Instead
of shying away as I expected, he clamped my wrists in his hands. He used no
magic, but the calculated look he gave me sent shivers down my spine. “And I,”
he said, “will also not tolerate being spoken to in such a manner.”
Fear
made my heart beat wildly. Who is this
man? It was at that moment I realized how very little I knew about him.
Where did he come from? Where did he live? Who were his kin? His gaze locked
with mine, and sparks of purple danced in the gray of his irises. I knew he
possessed magic, but he’d led me to believe his powers were limited. Had he
lied?
