Elemental Earth
Coming Soon
My name is Trinity Liathain,
typical human teenager to many. But reality is I’m a young fae, split between
two very different worlds. Just as I find a guy who I can be myself with, my
little corner of Blue Cove erupts in drama I’m not prepared for. The gauntlet
to a war that shouldn’t be mine is at my door, bringing creatures that terrify
and mesmerize me. I’m visited by ancient forces who for some reason, think I’m
the answer to another dimension’s problems. They grant me tremendous power to
protect myself. From what, you ask? If my short journey through life has taught
me anything, it’s that the people closest to you, make the worst enemies.

Excerpt:
A feather-soft sensation grazed
my hand. A long deep breath didn’t fortify me when I craned my neck. I tore my
hand away.
A tarantula the size of a football crawled over my book, clear liquid dripping
from its oversized fangs. Where the venom touched, chunks of my book
disintegrated.
The chair careened behind me, as I jumped to my feet. Adrian’s growl shook the
windows, the only warning of my stupid mistake. He reached for me too late. Mr.
Conevetti’s stick arm shot around my waist, and dragged me over the desk.
“You can’t ssstop me.” His mechanical screech resonated through my eardrums.
“He wantsss her.”
I choked back a scream as he gave up his glamour, revealing a horrific face
caught between an alien and an ant. I flailed, punching him in the neck,
shoulder—anything my fist blindly reached. His rock hard exoskeleton prevented
his injury. Cuts broke out over my knuckles.
“Put her down,” Adrian snapped, every pound the Goblin royal.
“Trinity…” My name coming from those pincers serving for a mouth was the single
most horrible thing I’ve ever heard. He hissed at Adrian, who circled us.
I was not, nor ever would I be a damsel in distress, waiting for her prince to
save her. Not in this life time, or the next. I sought any kink in his armor. I
elbowed the bug man in the face, gritting my teeth as his pincers sliced into
my flesh.
He released me with a surprised squeal. I landed wrong on my feet. My knees
ached, but I ran. My momentum propelled me toward the terminals. I jumped, my
foot landing on the chair. I was airborne, flying over the grotesque spider and
the computers, thrashing awkwardly on my descent. The back of my head slammed
against the opposite terminal, changing my trajectory. I hit the floor,
twisting my ankle. The shock of pain on top of everything else forced a gasp
from me.
The spider dropped, scuttling across the floor.
“You all right?” Adrian yelled. Under the row of desks, only legs were
visible—a pair of jean clad ending in thick biker boots, and two sticks in
loafers.
“I’m good!” I lied through my teeth.
The spider scurried closer. I ripped a keyboard out of its USB port, wielding it
as a weapon. The thing paused.
“Come on. I don’t have all day.”
It jerked, as if it understood. It crept around me, I suppose seeking a weak
spot. It lunged, and I swung. I hit the rounded, furry body across the room
like a baseball. It hit the window with a sickening thump, and didn’t move
again. The acidic poison from it fangs ate through the glass in watery line.
The rancid smell intensified.
I peeked over the walls of the desk. Adrian darted and weaved, the skill of a
fighter shocking me. Sure, every now and then a guy might scrap, but this was
taking it to another level. Mr. Conevetti wasn’t fast enough for him.
They danced around each other in a primal, masculine array. Adrian
bared his teeth. “Trinity, for the love of the Goddess, run!”
