Book Description:
The global
infrastructure that allows humans and supernaturals to coexist is under threat.
A breakdown of this carefully maintained system erupts into worldwide chaos and
could eventually lead to Armageddon.
Code Uprising is
activated.
The power of the
supernatural world shifts from the city councils to Bonfire Academy and the
other elite paranormal preps. Now, the staff and students must follow the code,
however deadly the ramifications, to return power to the city sovereigns in
order to prevent an apocalypse.
Excerpt:
Prolouge
He felt as dead as she looked. With each blow to
her lifeless body, he felt his sanity ooze, drop after drop, into the pool of
her blood. She was dead. Her only hope now was the guy who had stolen her from
him.
The knock on the door filled Quinn with loathsome
fury. Had he not already been in his demon form, he’d have transformed because
the person on the other side of the door deserved what he had unwillingly
subjected Cordelia to.
He flung the door open, growling at the winter
faery who was keeping Cordelia’s heart beating. Jagger swept past Quinn to the
corner of the room, kneeling down beside Cordelia’s torn-up body. His pale
winter hue darkened. He shot to his feet, bringing up his leg and slammed his
foot into Quinn’s stomach.
Quinn fell back in surprise, his demon exterior not
so much as reddening as a result, but he felt on the verge of losing it and
tearing Jagger’s head right off of his fey neck. But he checked himself. If
Jagger’s heart stopped, so would Cordelia’s, and Quinn couldn’t allow that to
happen.
“What the fuck, Quinn? What did you do to her?”
Jagger’s voice was barely audible; his mood had turned from anger to
desperation as he looked at the body on the floor again.
Quinn transformed back into his human form,
revealing a mess of injuries and broken bones. “I had no choice. It was this or
death.”
“Or death? She is
dead, you moron!”
“No, she isn’t. Her heart is still beating.”
“Only because I’m beating it for her,” Jagger
muttered.
“Only because I’m letting you beat it for her,”
Quinn said quietly.
“She needs a healer.”
“Wander her back to the Academy. But hurry.
Potomal’s team is on their way and will be here soon to collect her.”
“Potomal?”
“A Wanderer working with Katerina.” Quinn winced
at the stabs of pain his human body was unable to dampen.
“What about you? What happened?”
“Cordelia didn’t go down without a fight, but
never mind that. I’ll heal. I need you to beat me to within an inch of my life.
Here, use this.” He handed Jagger a tire iron.
“Much as I would love to beat the hell out of you,
why? If you’re afraid of what they’ll do to you when they find out you let
Cordelia escape, why not just come back to the Academy?”
“No time. Plus, the best way for me to protect
Cordelia is from the inside. Hurry.”
Jagger glanced down at Cordelia and then raised
the iron bar.
