Running my hands over him, I search for his pulse or his heartbeat, but I can’t get anything with the tremble in my fingers. “Where’s his sword? Find his sword,” I cry, desperate for anything that will confirm that he’s going to be okay.

“I can’t find it,” Eldon states, looking around frantically as Creed curses under his breath.

“Raven, it’s gone.”

“No. It can’t be. It can’t. No, please,” I sob, my heart aching beyond words as anguish consumes me. “I can’t breathe. Please, Brax. Please.” I can’t shake the distress from my tone, but I’m desperate. I just need to see him, hear him,anything.

“Raven…”

“No. No! Nooo!” A gut-wrenching cry tears from my lips, ringing unbearably in my ears as my heart bleeds and despair consumes me.

I lower my forehead to his chest, my cry still burning my lungs, a sob desperate to calm the quake in my chest as I burn from my toes all the way to my head.

“Raven.”

My eyes widen, the pain unbearable as I straighten, blinking in confusion, but the scream continues.

“Raven?”

The cry stops, the flickering of flames stops, everything stops.

Everything except the fluttering of a heartbeat as I come face to face with two colors.

One brown. One green.

AFTERWORD

I don’t even know who I think I am dropping another fantasy romance as casually as this, but I’m obsessed with Raven and her men. I think I was even more scared to start another fantasy series than I was with Saints Academy, I don’t know why, but it hit so well I was left scared of high expectations. So I hope this story does them justice. I’m beyond excited and dedicated to telling their story.

I can’t wait to dive head first into book two and see where this crazy story takes us!
