Description:
Fallen - the first book in the
Guardian Trilogy...
Maggie is unaware of the
terrifying fate that awaits her. It isn’t until she lands in New Orleans for a
full year at a private high school and her unknown enemies find her does she
realize that her life is in danger.
As a mystifying stranger
repeatedly intervenes and blocks the attempts on her life, she begins to learn
that there is more to him than his need to protect her and that he may be the
key to understanding why her enemies have just now arrived.
Magdalene's
Top 10 Questions…
1.
Favorite movie/actor/actress? I've never had time to notice. Would much rather
be sneaking out to hunt Fallen Ones.
2.
Favorite song/singer? Anything that gets my heart pumping or fills me with the exhilaration
that I feel when I look at Eran.
3.
Favorite food? Muffuletta sandwich,
hands down. It is my go-to lunch. There's something about that salty goodness
that I can't resist! Like Eran's lips after a good workout!
4.
One item you cannot live without? My sword. It's a trusty companion when I come
across an enemy salivating to take my life or the life of another.
5.
Who would you like to meet (dead or alive)? I can meet just about anyone dead
or alive, given my unique ability. However, one entity does remain elusive…the
one who created creation, the one who started it all, the one who produced life
its self. That one…I have a lot of questions for.
6.
Favorite hobby? Sending our enemies to eternal death, comes to mind, but that's
more of a way of life. So I'd have to say…riding my awesome Harley Davidson
Sportster, especially into the school parking lot while the faculty are
arriving in the morning.
7.
Guilty pleasure? Eran. He's been off limits to me for a long time so you can
probably guess why he was the first one to come to mind.
8.
Favorite author and book? The ones who put together the Book of Dossiers on the
Fallen Ones. Those individuals are brave, the kind of brave that humbles you.
When you think about how close one has to get to an enemy who wants you dead,
close enough to know they regularly reek of onions, it leaves an impression in
the back of your mind.
9.
Do you collect anything? Rapiers and to a lesser extent fashionable leather
fighting attire. With each fall to earth, I seek out both, in the order
mentioned. The rapier is self-explanatory. The leather suit, well, there's
nothing like kicking some butt in intimidating foreign fashion.
10.
Favorite color? Black, green, brown…Anything that provides camouflage against a
background where I'm hiding in wait for my enemies return.
EXCERPT
“You appear and
then vanish like a ghost. You aren’t injured from venomous snake bites. You
aren’t killed by wayward, incredibly sharp arrows.” Then, I reiterated, “I am
the only one who can see you…how is any of this possible?”
“You do pay
attention,” he said, sounding almost regretful, though I didn’t understand why.
“Yes, now will
you tell me how you are capable of all that?”
He paused, still
looking at me, as he collected his thoughts. The muscles throughout his body
visibly flexed, tensing as he prepared his answer. “I have certain…gifts…that
not many others can claim…gifts of speed, healing, and regeneration, to name a
few.”
He paused,
waiting for my reaction.
“Don’t worry so
much,” I said, teasingly. “I’m not going to run screaming for the door.”
We quietly
laughed together for a brief moment.
When I felt like he was comfortable again, I asked my next question.
“So, where did
you get these gifts? Did your parents take some sort of special drug?”
“Not exactly. I
can’t answer that, as much as I know you’d like me to. Just suffice, Magdalene,
to know that without these gifts, you wouldn’t be here right now.”
