*** Part one in the Anastasia Evolution Series — an urban fantasy novel. ***
— My eyes rolled up to meet his, and in the three, maybe four seconds before he thrust his power into me, I felt nervous, small, and afraid. — Love and War and Eternally Damning Prophecies
Anastasia Drucilla Weber’s normal life came to an abrupt end when she was but nine years old. That was the day she was left waiting in a closet when her brothers stopped playing hide and seek. That was the day her anxious emotions shifted her body’s shape from human to that of a faerie of the dark class—the Unseelie. From then on, most of her time was spent hiding what she was from her family, and the old vampire leaders that governed the country where she was raised.
Long before the unnerving transmutation, Andru felt she was different. The tiny faeries that spoke to her at night told her she was gifted because her family had been practicing pagans for many generations, and the magik in her blood was unexpectedly powerful.
And yet, none of that mattered if you weren’t allowed to show your friends the extraordinary things you could do. If you lived in fear that the tiniest slip would put you face to face with the often frightening vampires who were forever foraging for true magikal power, for real earth magik. The same vampires that governed the country of Genesis. Their magikal talents were obviously potent and superior, but also lacked the collective influence of the Fae. Still, Andru wouldn’t dare expose herself. Their unquenchable greed for land and wealth would someday be their undoing, or hers.
Andru, now a strong, caring soldier of the Philadelphia Territory keeps her magikal influence deep within her body. But as her thirtieth birthday approaches, her carefully harnessed magik has become dislocated, and her mind is distracted to a fault. The control that took years to perfect is crumbling the closer she’s pulled to her vampire partner, Romeo, and his father, General Galen.
When extremists target her birthday celebration, and the military headquarters, is it just another act of terrorism by neighboring countries? Or does someone want to expose her and all the winged skeletons in her supernatural closet?
Love and War is Part One in River Eno’s the Anastasia Evolution Series. Don’t miss the magikal darkness of Anastasia’s life in Part Two: The Hollow. Both available at Amazon.com
“I've read like all of the Christine Feehan books, and Sherylin Kenyon books and yours was right up there with theirs. I was interested throughout, and looking forward to the next book, you can't help love the characters, even when you don't want to.”
— Melanie Costantakos
“The combative words between Drucilla and Romeo are funny and sexually tense, but underneath lies a loyalty that is rare to find in ones lifetime.”
