About the book:
It’s been months since Zadie faced
her sister’s Reaper, months during which she’s been under her mentor’s magical
protection. But now that she’s turning seventeen, that protection is about to
run out.
When dark forces lure Zadie to wander at night, she’s manipulated into
committing unspeakable acts. With her friends and family at risk, Zadie must
try to use her powers to break free from the Reaper’s grasp, or surrender to
the Reaper’s Rite, which can only lead to death.
Excerpt:
Once I reached the
hall, all the blood drained from my head. I stumbled in the hallway and had to
slap my hand against the wall to steady myself. Everything swayed back and
forth before me. The lights dimmed then got brighter. Or was the headache
merely traveling to my eyes?
I pushed myself
forward and finally reached the bathroom. I had to pause at the door for a
moment to get the room to stop swimming before me. The sink was just two feet
away from me, but it felt like miles. Holding my fingers to my temples, I
thrust myself forward to the sink. The cool porcelain felt great on my hot
skin. But only for a moment. Maybe I really was coming down with something.
I turned the tap on
and leaned down, hoping a splash of water on my face would do the trick. Closing
my eyes, I filled my palms with cold water and then splashed my face with it,
allowing the icy liquid to run down my cheeks to my chin. The floor moved under
my feet, so I steadied myself by gripping the counter.
You’re fine, Zadie.
Get ahold of yourself.
I straightened up
to check myself in the mirror. The eyes looking back at me were black.
That couldn’t be,
could it?
Then my reflection
smirked at me.
