The world has broken out in wars. Las Vegas has been ravaged by chemical warfare and is now home to several clans and creatures.
Welcome to I-D-8 Entertainment’s newest game: Clans of Vegas—Endless Night.
Friends and family have gathered for a crunch time playtest of C.O.V.E.N.. When
a horrible thunderstorm hits, everyone’s sucked into the game for real.
In the MMORPG, Hope Collins is kidnapped by Buzz and forced to submit
to his whims. Her boyfriend, Alden, has to delay his quest of defeating a
clan’s prince to save her, but time and circumstance don’t seem to be
on his side. Faith Collins is bombarded by strange dreams brought on by
Buzz. Her boyfriend, Tavis, learns to dream walk, but can he help break
the spell she’s under and save her before she’s lost to him?
C.O.V.E.N. is more than just a game. It’s a whole other world.
Excerpt
Big
T watched her with a huge grin on his face. Happier than she’d been in
ages, she returned the expression. Again she closed her eyes, continued
to juggle the shining spheres and hummed the tune from the dream she had
the night before.
“Zya,” Tavis whispered proudly.
She
popped her eye open and stared at him, astonished. The orbs came to
rest in her hands. She stepped toward him, the tops of her fingertips
barely touching his chest with the spheres stilled in her palms, and
opened her mouth to speak.
“Nice
set of balls you have there in your hands, Faith,” Cassandra commented
from the entrance to the kitchen before her cousin could get a word out.
Faith
and Big T dropped their balls like they were two kids in trouble for
having something they shouldn’t. As the orbs hit the floor, they
dissipated into the air.
Cassandra
shook her head. “I don’t know about you two. Every time I come in here,
I catch you guys up to something. Well, have at it. Alden is off
fetching Hope. I’m heading out to Morrigan’s property. Then we’re off to
the temple. Since I’ll be with my friend, you won’t have to babysit me,
Big T.” She gave each one a cursory glance again, then left.
Once the front door closed, Faith gathered her wits and focused back on Big T. She gasped. “You’re glowing!”
“Describe it for me.”
The
rich, deep timbre of his voice reverberated through her core, reminding
her of the passion she’d shared with her new dream man. She took a
deep, steadying breath. “It’s like a fog edging your body. Not a thick
fog because I can still make out some detail behind you, but enough of a
haze to be defining. It’s a gorgeous turquoise. It ebbs and flows with
your breaths.”
“Well, my dear, you’re glowing, too. Your hue is a beautiful amber, like that of your energy globes.” He took her hand in his.
“This
is too weird,” she commented as the colors swirled and blended
together. “It’s like what happened in my dream. Maybe I need some more
sleep.”
“No,
Faith, you don’t need more sleep. You need to find your eyes, look with
your soul, then you’ll see the truth and the path which is already
before you.” He stepped in toward her and pushed a lock of hair behind
her ear. “Your salvation from Mabuz’s world and the ties that bind you
there lie in choosing the right course of action, deciding between good
and evil.”
