At
fifteen, Anaii is the most important member of her tribe—and the most
mysterious. Ever since Anaii can
remember, the spirits of the wind have whispered of fertile hunting grounds and
imminent enemy attacks. But when her
people are ambushed by a brother clan without any apparent cause, the spirits
remain eerily silent.
As the village prepares
to retaliate, Anaii is pressured by her best friend, Elan, to marry him. It’s an old plea—Elan has spent a lifetime
loving her, but Anaii only sees a childhood playmate out of an imposing
warrior. Stifled by Elan’s insistence,
Anaii escapes into the forest where she meets Jayttin, the beautiful son of the
enemy chief.
Enamored by Jayttin’s carefree spirit and
hope for peace, she repeatedly sneaks away to be with him, but when her
deception is discovered, Elan is devastated. Pledging his lifelong affection, Elan gives
her a passionate kiss, and Anaii begins to see her friend in a new light.
While Anaii is
tormented over which man she must choose, the wind whispers of a new threat
that could destroy both tribes. Only a
union will afford a chance at survival, but the reality of that union is based
on one thing—which man Anaii chooses to die.

EXCERPT
I looked around cautiously before
freezing at the sketchy outline of a muscular man partially hidden in the
grass. A man! He was sprawled on his back and golden
pink from too many hours in the sun. My heart pounded to see the
unfamiliar pattern of a deer on his breechcloth. I had marched myself
directly into the reach of a Zennite warrior!
I gingerly took a step backwards, but to my
horror, the man’s black eyes fluttered open. I turned and hurled myself
back across the meadow, just as the man shot up and flew after me like a
predatory bird. My muscles burned and strained to lengthen the space
between us, but getting away was hopeless. I was not a challenge to even
the young boys in the foot races.
After a few powerful strides, the warrior
tackled me to the ground, painfully grazing the skin on my cheek. I
wheezed a few times before my lungs filled with air.
“A Chippoke?” he asked between breaths.
I feverishly punched and kicked to free
myself. “Get—off—me!”
“Stop! I’m not going to hurt you,” the warrior
chuckled as he struggled to pin my arms and legs. His voice was calm and
pleasant, but lying was no different than breathing to a Zennite.
“I cannot promise the same,” I wheezed as I
fought.
“You’re a bobcat,” he said with a laugh.
“A bobcat with no teeth or claws.”
“Let me go!”
“I will when you’re calm.”
Strong hands held my wrists while his full
weight pinned my torso against the earth. Fighting him was as useless as
running. “You are not a boy,” I spat angrily, fully taking in my
attacker. It was little comfort that he didn’t look like
a bloodthirsty killer. He was admittedly handsome with an angular face
and sleek black hair that hung well past his shoulders. He
was not as tall as Elan, but his muscles were narrow and built for speed.
There was something different about his eyes too. They were as black as
soot—very unlike the brown woodsy colors from our tribe.
The warrior smirked down at me. “My mother
will be very surprised to hear that. All this time she’s assumed…”
My face heated, but I fiercely met his
gaze. The Zenni were like wild dogs and pumas—they could smell emotions.
“What I meant was, you are a man, not a boy.”
“Oh, I see, but you must understand, I’m not a
man yet.”
“You must understand I’m a squirrel! Get off!
You’re hurting me!” I ordered with a useless heave.
“No,” he said with a smirk.
It was then I realized I might die—right after
I was lulled into a false sense of security. My chest pounded as I
searched for the killer’s weapon. “Are you going to kill
me?”
“I do not feel like killing you just yet,” he
said as his long hair swirled in my face. Were we to play
a game before he killed me?
“I am glad the mood doesn’t strike you,” I
snarled. The warrior studied me with a drawn brow. Was he guessing
that I was the forest witch? I didn’t think I looked like a witch, but I
wasn’t certain what one should look like—evil at least.
“I don’t understand something,” the warrior
said. “Your eyes are blue—the blue of an angry sky. Are you the
daughter of a god?”
“Yes,” I said, heaving against his weight
again. “Now get off me, or my father Achak will strike you dead with
lightening.”

Ever since Kait Swanney could remember, the old crones of the village have been warning her to stay away from the selkies. They claim that like sirens of old, the seal men creep from the inky waters, shed their skins, and entice women to their deaths beneath the North Sea. But avoiding an encounter becomes impossible when Kait is spotted at the water’s edge, moments after the murder of a half-selkie infant.
Unexpectedly, Kait is awoken by a beautiful, selkie man seeking revenge. After she declares her innocence, the intruder darts into the night, but not before inadvertently bewitching her with an overpowering lure.
Kait obsesses over a reunion deep beneath the bay and risks her own life to be reunited with her selkie. But when she lands the dangerous lover, the chaos that follows leaves Kait little time to wonder—is it love setting her on fire or has she simply been lured?
