Fast forward to present-day Florida, where brother and sister have lived for over 300 years. Resenting a fate that prohibits him from ever dying has created in Bram a reputation for danger and soured him on the notion of a serious relationship. Freya, on the other hand, has been open to love throughout her many lives, but no one has stolen her heart like the man she’s been dreaming of for more than three centuries. A chance meeting with a motorcycle-riding, gun shop-owning woman and her cousin, a man who communicates with ghosts, brings with it the winds of change and has Bram and Freya emotionally battling between their desires and what they know is right. After several supernatural encounters that cannot be ignored, the Montagues face their nemesis in a final showdown that culminates in the discovery of long-hidden truths that will once again alter their lives.
“I’ll give you one last chance,” Garrett said, staring at Freya. “Are you going to marry me?”
Anger rose in her like a kettle set to boil. “Snow must have drifted into your ears. I wouldn’t marry you if you were the only man in the colony. Is that clear enough?”
His pupils grew dangerously dark, drilling holes into her. He pointed his finger. “No one tells Garrett Smythe no. Freya Montague, you will wander through the centuries hopeless with longing, forever suffering the heartbreak of loss. Everyone you love will die, but you will not have the pleasure of joining them in the afterlife. You will be left alone on this Earth to suffer in misery.” His eyes narrowed. “I curse you…to immortality!”
For a second it felt like the world stopped moving. Then the next few moments whirled like a toy top. Garrett’s hateful flaming eyes locked with Freya’s as a bolt of lightning shot from his finger. She felt the hot pierce stab into her breast.
A hint of nausea washed over her. Strange vibrations pummeled her, and what sounded like howling wind shrieked in her ears. A massive headache seared through her brain. Somewhere in the distance, she heard Aunt Gillian’s voice chanting.
Mouth gaping, she glanced at her body. It felt as light as air. Then, to her horror, she saw her legs vanish, and then her arms. With a whoosh, she felt herself rocketed into a vacuum where time and space blended.

ReplyDeleteI really like the synopsis, it has my interest. I enjoyed the excerpt. It's on my TBR list. Blessings and Thanks to all.
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed the excerpt, Lawri. Thanks for stopping by.
DeleteIs there one subject you would never write about as an author? What is it?
ReplyDeleteThat's an interesting question, Mai. I would have to say I would not write about any subject I'm not interested in, even if it's the "hot topic" at the moment. If I'm not interested, that disinterest will show in my writing and readers won't enjoy the story.
DeleteThis book sounds very interesting. I like the idea of immortality as a curse.
