Blurb-
Just a year ago, I thought I was an ordinary human, and I gave up
everything on Earth to save the people I loved. I have become the Lenai of
Emréiana, making me the heir to the Emréian throne. It also makes me in charge
of defeating the Bremoir, a race that has been consuming other worlds. If I
can’t stop them, the universe is doomed.
Then there is Aaronmon, my betrothed. We have only known each
other for a year, but our bond is strong. It’s that bond that makes it hard to
know my true feelings. While I think I am ready for the ceremony, I wonder if I
really love him like I loved Kyle, my ex- boyfriend who was murdered.
But none of my feelings matter. In order to rule Emréiana, I must
go through with the bonding ceremony. If I don’t, then I risk losing the right
as heir and I’ll have no power in the war against the Bremoir. Nobody wants
them defeated more than me.

Excerpt:
A large rock soared through
the sky. Around it was an aurora of white and purple. I held my breath and
admired its beauty as it slowly passed the window.
“It’s Emréiana’s comet,” Aaronmon told me. “It only passes by once
every nineteen years. The last time someone truly magnificent was born.”
I cocked my head, confused. I soon realized his meaning. “Me,” I
whispered under my breath. With everything that had been going on I had
completely forgotten that I even had a birthday. Of course the Emréian calender
was different from Earth’s. I didn’t even realize it was already August there.
“As you know, we don’t celebrate birthdays the same way here. So
it wasn’t hard to sneak it past you.” Aaronmon smiled. In Emréiana they didn’t
celebrate annual birthdays. New Year was when people actually counted their new
age. The only birthday type of celebration was during the third Hurmon moon
when they had the nilva festivities. That was when those who had grown into
their abilities received their tattoos. Mine was celebrated on Earth before I
came to Emréiana, but the community of Inae gave me another shortly after my
arrival. Since I already had a tattoo, I had just participated in everything
else, which had been awkward since I spoke very little Emréian at the time.
Thinking back on all of that, I still couldn’t believe that I had forgotten my
birthday.
Embarrassment radiated from me, and I tried to hold it back so
that I wouldn’t send the waves to Aaronmon. I guess it didn’t matter because I
could tell by the grin on his face that he knew. My reddened cheeks probably
gave me away.
“I know back on Earth individual birthdays were the norm, and I
thought that this could be something special between you and me,” he offered.
I smiled at his thoughtfulness and leaned into his chest. “Every
year?” I asked.
“Well, the comet only comes every nineteen, so we will have to
figure something else out.”
“Deal,” I said.
