THE FROZEN STAR

a Star novel

by Jessie Lane

The journey continues:

Kay had discovered secrets, lies, shocking truths, and even love in a strange new world hidden from humans. Everything she thought she knew was turned upside down when she found out three things:

- She wasn’t human.

- She has a power she can't control.

- And there was a possibility that she had found a way to cure the cancer that was rapidly killing her with that very same power.

Then, just when she was on the precipice of gaining everything she wanted and saving her own life, tragedy struck. Will she be able to fight her way back to Ryan and save herself in the process?

Kira had lived a terrifying and confusing life of servitude and abuse under Lord Donovan and his son, Cole. It was an existence that had stripped away her emotions, and eventually, her reason to keep fighting. Just when she thought freedom was within reach, Lord Donovan struck again, ruining her plans and almost killing her in the process. When she awoke from her injuries, it was to stunning revelations that would change her life forever. Changes that she was not entirely sure she wanted to embrace.

Persistent individuals such as Prince Kane refuse to let her walk away, though. Will she embrace all of the sudden fortune in her life? Or will she walk away from those who need her most, forsaking their acceptance and love?

Excerpt -- Kira’s POV:

Kane inched closer. “Maybe you should sit down, Kira.”

And maybe you should back up, I thought.

“I’m fine. I don’t need to sit down. Now, please tell me what’s happened. If you don’t want to tell me that, then at least tell me what’s going to happen next? Do you plan to hold me prisoner? I swear to you that I knew nothing of Lord Donovan’s plans,” I added the last bit emphatically. The thought of being a prisoner of sorts once again because of Lord Donovan was more than I could take at the moment.

Queen Fiona’s breath hitched again, bringing new tears that streaked down her face. King Connell rushed to her side to hold her, patting her back and whispering affectionately in her ear. What in the world was wrong with that woman? Why wouldn't she stop crying? Perhaps it was the reminder the princess had been kidnapped?

Kane continued to stare at me in an assessing manner. “You will not be held a prisoner, Kira.”

“Am I free to leave then?”

At more sobbing from Queen Fiona, I had the overwhelming urge to get the hell out of here now! The Queen’s incessant crying was starting to grate on my nerves. I inched away from her a little more.

Kane’s face looked pained. “Perhaps you would like to hear a few things before you go running off to… wherever do you plan on running off to?”

Shrugging my shoulders was the only answer he was getting from me. I didn’t have a place to run to, not that I was going to tell him that.

“Okay. Since you don’t have any place in particular to go to, or you just don’t want to tell me, how about that information before you make your plans? It won’t kill you to stay while we ask you a few questions about Lord Donovan and listen to what we have to say. Kay is still missing, and we've had no leads as to where she might be. We've been waiting for you to wake up in the hopes of getting some answers.” What did they want to talk to me about so badly? Kane watched my every move, analyzing every thought that possibly crossed my face.

THE BURNING STAR

by Jessie Lane

*This book is a re-release and revision from the original book. Please be aware that some things have been added, deleted or changed.*

Kay’s journey of a lifetime started in the woods outside of Asheville, North Carolina. It was there that the 17 year old met a beautiful man along with a monster. The chance encounter led her to an unbelievable world that shouldn’t exist; a place where myths and fairy tales were real, and in some cases, deadly. Kay knew she would have to brave this new world if she hoped to find a cure for her terminal cancer.

With a strange yet beautiful cast of characters that she would meet along the way, Kay uncovered truths that would change her life forever. However, before it was all over, it would become clear that Kay wasn’t the only one with problems.

Yet another 17 year old young woman was fighting for her freedom and her life.

Kira had lived in a magical world that Kay had only dreamt of. Despite this, her life had not been filled with many good things. As a matter of fact, she considered her empty, emotional solitude the only positive aspect of her life. She fought daily battles to escape abuse and torture.

Trained to be an expert assassin, she was charged with kidnapping Kay and delivering her to Kira’s master, Lord Donovan.

As the two young women set forth in their journeys, their paths would cross in unimaginable ways. The only question that would remain was who would come out alive and whole in the end?

WARNING: This is an upper ya/young adult/new adult fictional story that includes some explicit language, graphic violence, and mild sexual situations. Recommended for ages sixteen and up.

EXCERPT:

I stood there frozen, knowing that I would probably die because of this wretched creature, when all of a sudden I saw the quick movement of an arm bringing down the point of the knife, slicing towards the large creature’s skull. The animal’s enraged screams ripped through the woods surrounding us. 

My brain tried to analyze what was happening before me as I stood still as a statue and watched as the monster started to crumble away like something that had been burnt from the inside out and then fell apart.

This can’t be real. 

I looked up from the ashes into the face of an angel. 

He’s not an angel; he’s just a guy. Right? 

He was staring at me as if he had just seen me sprout a second head. I was staring back at him like he was somehow related to those alien birds outside my window. My mouth flapped open to scream again, but before a sound could escape, the world faded to black, and I fainted. 

At least I didn’t scream again. 

When I opened my eyes, two ethereal blue eyes were staring back at me. My head was throbbing like a bass drum in a marching band, and it felt like my head might split in two from the pounding headache. 

“Are you okay?” he asked me, his voice strong but sweet. 

Before I could stop my mouth from saying anything ridiculous, I replied, “Are you an angel? Did I finally die and go to Heaven?” 

He bellowed a laugh while I blushed a shade that was more than likely lobster red. I smacked myself in the forehead and tried to hide my face behind my hand. What a brilliant way to make a first impression on an extremely hot guy. That’s when it hit me. 

The past few moments of events flooded my brain again and I started to panic. 

“Wait a minute! What was that thing and how in the world did it just, just-”

“The dog? I had to cut it with my knife to scare it away. It wasn’t a mortal wound though. He took off through the woods to escape. Sorry if you’re one of those animal lovers, but I was afraid it might kill one of us.”

I shook my head to try to clear it. “No, no, no, no. That was no dog. Well, it was at first, but then it became something else. It was black and huge and had those red eyes…” 

Before I finished my sentence, I looked up at him to see complete shock and amazement on his face. I had never seen anyone look so bewildered. 

“Don’t look at me like that! I know what I saw! Now what was that thing and what happened to it? It didn’t run off; I saw you kill it. And I would point to the body to prove it, but it, well, it fell apart or something.”

In a split second, the shock had disappeared from his handsome face, replaced by something more masked and calculating. “I’m sorry, but you’re quite mistaken. I didn’t kill it. I only wounded it. And it was a dog. Are you sure you didn’t hit your head or something? I’m afraid you might be having some kind of hallucination.” Somehow, when he said it, it didn’t seem as scary or grotesque as it did when I played what I saw back in my head.
