Overview

The Lightbringer:

Theodora Morgan knows she’s a little strange. Her talent for healing has marked her as different all through a life spent moving from town to town when someone notices her strangeness. Now she has a home, and she doesn’t want to leave—but she’s been found. The Crusade wants her dead because she’s psychic, the Dark wants to feed on her talent, and then there’s Dante. Tall and grim and armed with black-bladed knives, guns, and a sword, he says he’s here to protect her. But what if he’s what Theo needs protection from most?

The Watcher:

Dante is a Watcher, sworn by Circle Lightfall to protect the Lightbringers. His next assignment? Watch over Theo. She doesn’t know she’s a Lightbringer, she doesn’t know she’s surrounded by enemies, and she doesn’t know she’s been marked for death by a bunch of fanatics. He can’t protect her if she doesn’t trust him, but how can she possibly trust a man scarred by murder and warfare—a man who smells like the same Darkness Theo has been running from all her life?

Bounced around the world as a military brat, Lilith Saintcrow fell in love with writing in second grade and never looked back. She currently resides in Vancouver, Washington, with two children, a menagerie, and books. Find her on the web at lilithsaintcrow.com.

Read an Excerpt

She sensed a glamour, a spell to help people see only what they wanted to see when they looked at him. She narrowed her eyes, looking under the shield of magick, and saw that he was wearing knives strapped to his body, and a pair of bright silver guns. And to top off the utter impossibility, he had the leather-wrapped hilt of a sword poking up over his left shoulder.

What, he just couldn't find anything else to wear this morning? she thought, and found herself backing up.

Theo took two more startled steps back, her left hip hitting the glass cabinet that held the cash register. She barely noticed the flare of pain that caused. "What are you?" she asked, and saw something--a blush--rising up his clean-shaven cheeks. Blushing. A man who knew her name came strolling into her shop wearing guns, and he was blushing?

"You might not believe me," he said, and pulled something that looked like a business card out of his pocket. He offered it to her, still not looking up at her face. "I have several things to tell you, and I just..." He trailed off.

Theo couldn't back up any more. The glass cabinet was behind her. The air in the store stirred uneasily, the wards sensing her fear. How had he gotten through them, armed like that? "What are you?" she asked again. "Was that you, following me last night?"

He was still offering her the card. "All I can tell you right now..." He broke off and glanced at Suzanne. Theo looked back at Elise, who was leaning against a bookcase, grinning. "...is that you're in danger, and I'm here to help."
