Here’s a
bit about Phoenix Contract:
Centuries after the fallen angels left heaven to live among
humans, their Nephilim descendants dwell in secret, hidden from the modern
world. Once, a charismatic leader known as the Phoenix led their people, but he
vanished centuries ago. The few surviving Great Houses are in decline,
bickering over petty rivalries while a handful of faithful warriors battle to
keep the forces of evil at bay.
Eighteen-year-old Aiden McLachlan devotes her life to her studies
and pursues her lifelong goal to become a full-fledged Watcher. But everything
she knows of her life is a lie and everyone a liar. Through a strange twist of
fate, she finds herself caught up in an ancient prophecy.
The stars predict the rebirth of the Nephilim leader, but the
mystery must be unraveled or the Phoenix cannot rise. With a soul-eating demon,
a coven of ancient vampires, and a hardheaded Celtic warrior competing to
subvert the Phoenix, Aiden doesn't know where to turn or who she can trust.
Excerpt from Phoenix Contract:
Magnus loomed over her, attempting
to inspect her injuries. His fingers were hot and alien against her skin, and
she flinched from his touch.
“Stay put while I retrieve the
crucifix,” Magnus ordered. He moved away from her. A moment later, he returned
carrying the crucifix.
Aiden shook her head but stayed
still. She automatically tried to place his accent and failed. There were too
many layers. “Where are you from? I can’t quite place your nationality.”
“I’m Averni.” He sank to the ground
beside her, and those six-fingered hands touched her again, causing her flesh
to crawl.
“The Averni were a Celtic tribe,”
Aiden said. Her foggy mind recalled little else other than the Averni had been
from the region of Gaul before it became France.
“That’d be correct.” The Celt
reached out with his strange, strong fingers and pushed Aiden’s head to the
side to expose the wound. He removed her hand and examined the bite. His
glittering gold eyes were intelligent and inhuman. Up close he smelled earthy
and sensual, a suggestive scent which caused Aiden to flush and look away.
“Why is your name Latin?” she asked.
“My mother was Roman. Stay still,”
he replied.
“How bad is it?” Matthew asked.
“Not too bad.” Magnus threaded the
crucifix’s chain through his fingers so the holy symbol rested in his palm. He
opened the silver flask and poured holy water over the crucifix.
Aiden felt excited and afraid and so
tense she wanted to crawl out of her skin. “Are you really immortal?”
“Yes,” Magnus said. “This is going
to hurt. I’m going to have to hold you down.”
