Synopsis

Running from the brutal death of her parents and the face that haunts her dreams, Arianna De La Croix fears her destiny. After barely escaping the hands of her enemy that night she welcomes the blackness of death as she is pulled under the River of Ice. Her life, however, had just begun. Her savior came in the form of a war hardened soldier with a heart of gold. Alaric becomes her protector and she contentedly stays sequestered away in the forest. That is until that fateful day, when her eyes met Luca’s and her life was thrown into chaos. Captured by her enemy, her secrets are slowly revealed. She finds herself and she finds love, but is love enough to break the curse? Excerpt: Cautious of making eye contact I distance myself from the other vendors. That is until I see them… Weapons of every make and mould shining like metallic diamonds in the sunlight. I am drawn like a moth to flame and I must touch them all. “Good day my Lady. I have some brooches a misses like you might prefer over those…” Ha! If this blacksmith only knew what I could do with a sword like this. “Thank you sir, but I am more interested in your weapons.” He is quite taken aback by this statement but recovers quickly. “Perhaps you have a husband or father that you buy for?” His condescension is starting to bother me, yet I hold my tongue and trace my fingers over the ruby bejeweled handle of the scythe blade. Beautiful. Then I felt it. A pinprick sensation upon my neck that I could not put a name to. I was being watched. My first thought was, mayhap Alaric was in the shadows to protect me should I need it…but his gaze did not feel like this. Like fire upon my skin. I slowly turn in the direction of the pull and I find myself staring into the bluest eyes I have ever seen… no. I had seen these eyes before. Thousands of times. I ran. I don’t know what came over me but I turned and ran from the man with the beautiful face and cerulean eyes. When I gained the distance and the courage I turned back to see him jump the stone fence in chase. Dear gods! He was after me and now I could see armed men in black filter out of the town behind him. I feared the premonitions of his face meant to warn me of my death. “He will be your downfall.” My mothers words filled my mind. I pushed harder into the woods, the low evergreen limbs whipping my face, when I heard his gentle voice. “Please stop.” It halted me in my tracks and I turned to see him standing tall with question in his eyes. Those eyes would trap me now. “Why do you run?” he gasped out between breaths. With final simplicity I replied. “You scare me.” And I screamed in horror as the arrow pierced his heart and he fell to his knees. ***Those who love the works of Kristen Cashore and Sandra J. Maas will delight in Cerulean Lies.***
