"New Adult" Romantic Portal Fantasy COMPLETE

Whew, this book took a long time to complete, but I really, really like how it turned out! It's with beta readers right now, so I'm not quite ready to post it for preorder or to give a firm timeline on the release schedule. It will be available on Amazon as both a Kindle book and a paperback.

I'm still workshopping titles and the blurb as well...

For now, here's the draft blurb to whet your appetite!

“You’re the last surviving member of the Reavers, the demigod family cast out of Adria. You must come home with me to overthrow the Stormbringers who betrayed your family and reclaim your rightful place . . .”

Chloe Constantina, a young vet student in Boston, is shocked when she’s mugged, injured, and then kidnapped all in one night. Strange people are after her, telling her she doesn’t belong on Earth, and her best friend turns out to be complicit in the lie that hid her heritage. Chloe is a descendant of Hades and a winged demigoddess, a Reaver, only she’s never had wings before.

With the help of a sect with its own goals, Chloe travels through a portal stone to the lost continent of Adria. There, she discovers the soul-stealing powers of her family and learns their old enemy, the prince of the Stormbringers, is very aware of her presence in his kingdom.

With barely any time to learn to fly and to reave, Chloe is soon on the run again. She has a destiny to fulfill, and nothing will hold her back, not even falling for Marcus, the prince’s soldier—the man who chases her, rescues her, and then joins her cause. But how trustworthy can he be?

Control of the continent is at stake, along with the lives and souls of all of its inhabitants, including the mythological creatures who hide from the humans. Meanwhile, Chloe’s reaver powers are mutating in unexpected ways. Before it’s too late, she must embrace her destiny as the Red Queen and learn to control all of her powers, even the dark ones that risk her humanity.

This is a full-length “new adult” romantic portal fantasy novel. It contains graphic violence, abductions, the on-page death of characters, grief, discrimination against the “other,” and a battle scene. The romance is slow burn and sweet.
