The Green Rose

BLURB:
On
the continent of Gaia, evil is brewing. Turncoat wizard, Balthyser, kidnaps the
kings of Dahaka and Tapin. He wants the green rose, a source of powerful magic.
Princess
Sonia of Tapin is forced to hunt down the rose in exchange for her father's
life. It's the ultimate betrayal of Gaia's peace, but she has no choice if she
wants to save her father.
Prince
Ivánstan of Dahaka accompanies her on the journey. Both face challenges and
obstacles that test their strength of character during the hunt for the rose.
Dare Sonia put her trust and faith in a man she hardly knows to secure Gaia's
peace or will the continent's harmony be shattered forever?
EXCERPT:
Racing forward, he spotted her near Tapin's tents surrounded
by three beasts. Tall and slender, she possessed a strong, wild beauty he found
intriguing. Long chestnut brown hair flowed down her back. Her eyes were golden
yellow with obsidian irises. She'd been bonded! Only the noble bonded. Her
high, exotic cheekbones and patrician features were steeled in courage and
determination. The primal urge to mate with her made his heart pound in his
chest.
A falcon, the heraldic symbol of Tapin, was prominently
displayed on her tunic.
A bird screeched. A wyldebeast craned its neck upward and
the descending falcon
slashed its talons over the creature's face, spraying blood.
"Well done, Hiro!" exclaimed the woman.
A second wyldebeast lashed at her. She stumbled backwards,
tripping on a rock. Her
wrist struck the ground hard, sending her sword sprawling
several feet away from her, leaving her vulnerable.
"Draco, defend the Tapin noblewoman!"
Ivánstan's dragon, now overhead, shot a blast of flame from
his mouth, scorching the fur of an advancing beast. The creature collapsed and
rolled over, attempting to use the ground to extinguish the flames on its body.
The remaining wyldebeast raised his hand, its fingernails
moist, poised to strike the noblewoman. Ivánstan lunged forward and sliced off
the creature's wrist just inches in front of her face.
"Thank Nyla!" she cried.
The beast howled in pain and spun to face Ivánstan. Draco
latched its thorny claws into the creature's shoulders, lifting it into the
air.
