Isn't this cover stunning!
Grayson
My escape spell dropped me off on a random floor somewhere. Literally. Talk about awkward. For a moment, all I can focus on is the literal pain in my butt.
“Okay, that hurt,” I murmur.
“Grayson!” Oh, no. That’s the Prism Master.
The mirror dropped me off at the Refraction palace. As in, the one place I did not want to visit.
Rising, I slap on a smile. It’s never worked on the Prism Master before, but it’s not like there are a ton of options here. “I bet you’re wondering how I escaped. You see—”
A shiver runs up my back. It’s so intense, I forget what I was about to say.
What’s happening?
Suddenly, all my nerve endings go on alert. No doubt about it. Someone’s behind me. Inch by inch, I turn around. And there, I see a man.
Not just any man, mind you. He’s the one I’ve daydreamed about. Everything’s perfect, from his strong jawline and full lips to his very long and touchable hair. And the fact that he’s wearing an all-black outfit with a cape? That’s never a bad fashion choice. I may even be drooling a little.
My friend, Elle, keeps telling me that I’ve never met a real guy before. I’ve told to her stop being dramatic. But now? Elle is so right.
The Prism Master addresses the dream man. “If you’ll excuse us, Dex, I must speak with my ward.”
Dex. That’s his name.
I should be worried about the Prism Master and my failed escape attempt. I’m not. Instead, Dex and I stay in a serious state of eye lock. Connections form. Something awakens inside me.
“Dex,” repeats the Prism Master. “I asked you to leave.”
My brows lift. The Prism Master has beaten into my head that I’m a tower tithe, end of story. I must be linked with this Dex. Could he be a Rapunzel? I’d never heard of a male Rapunzel before. But if Dex is one? I’m in.
Dex ignores the Prism Master. “Grayson… Is that your full name?”
“Grayson Eyre,” I reply.
Dex smiles. “Nice to find you.”
My insides get all twisty at those words. I have the strange impulse to grab this guy’s palm and race for the exit. I even raise my hand a little, ready to clasp his.
Suddenly, lights flare all around. A magical wind strikes up. Cords snake out from the mirror behind the Prism Master. A sense of weightlessness surrounds me. Fast as a whip, I’m dragged into the mirror.
