Synopsis:
In the post-apocalyptic world following a pandemic, dark
angels arrive in Glory's small hometown to claim the eternal souls of her loved
ones. Targeted by evil because of her heroism during the great plague, Glory
fights back with the help of gutsy young witch Kaia, inexperienced guardian
angel Sasha, and her intrepid demon-fighting dog Hallelujah. Complicating
everything, a rift in time reunites Glory with an old flame and forces her to
pay a huge price for love. The legend of Glory continues!
The second book in the Legend
of Glory trilogy!
Glory was nominated for the 2011 Best Popular Paperback for Young Adults
List, sponsored by the Young Adult Library Services Association
(YALSA) of the American Library Association.
Excerpt:
Kaia was indulging Annie when a young girl crashed through
the underbrush and entered the clearing. It was Rory, the twelve-year-old
psychic from the Starlight coven in Georgia .
Kaia greeted her with, “What the hell?”
Rory rushed to Kaia, knelt, and gave her a clumsy embrace.
“Omigods, I’m so glad to see you’re still okay.”
Kaia drew back and studied Rory’s flushed face. “Why
wouldn’t I be? What are you doing here? How did you get here? What’s going on?”
Breathless, Rory readjusted her funky cool horn-rimmed
glasses, pushed long tendrils of hair up into the casual bun she wore on top of
her head, and then sat back on her heels. “I had a vision,” she said in her
soft, Southern drawl. “You’re going to die.” Rory had never been one to mince
words. And her visions always came true.
Startled, Kaia had no idea how to respond.
“Since you live off the grid, I couldn’t call or email, and
every time I tried to connect with you psychically I got intercepted by this
new obsession of yours.” She poked Annie. “You really have merged with her.
When I got a connection, instead of psychic static I got purring. Purring!” She
paused to give the mountain lion the evil eye. “So Evan drove me. We drove
straight through from Atlanta .”
Kaia’s heart raced much more quickly at mention of Evan than
news of her own predicted death. “Evan’s here?”
Rory grabbed Kaia by her shoulders and shook her like a mad
woman. “Get a grip! We’re not talking about the dreaded arranged marriage here.
Something’s changed. You are going to die!”
Kaia had heard her the first time, but was just trying to
process the words. “How?”
“I think it has something to do with Glory.”
“I haven’t spoken to Glory since we left Savannah months ago.”
A hush fell over the witches. A hush fell over the forest.
Annie’s tongue reached out and gave Kaia’s hand an uncharacteristically
affectionate lick.
Kaia had never felt her business with Glory was finished.
“Can we prevent it?”
Rory shook her head. Her expression was miserable. “I don’t
think so. There’s a quality about it that seems so fated.”
“When?”
“I can’t get a fix. There’s something screwy about the
timeline. It’s all tangled. I’ve never encountered anything like it before.”
Kaia took in a deep breath.
The forest exhaled.
And in that instant, Kaia knew with complete and utter
certainty that she was going to die.
