“That’s where you’re wrong, Queen Elena,” the goddess said. “You are the younger sister.”
Could she shock me any more? “Why would the midwife want to kill the eldest daughter?”
The goddess gave me a sad look. “Because she is the heiress of the Kingdom of Dark. She feared the child would be evil, so she ordered the baby killed.”
“It could have been me.”
“But it wasn’t you,” Liam said. “We can only deal with what we’re facing. We have to figure out what to do about your sister.”
“We still have to find her,” I insisted. “She’s my sister. She’s the rightful heir to our father’s kingdom, and I need her to join her magical kingdom with mine.”
“It’s too risky, Elena,” Liam insisted. “She could be evil. She might want to hurt you.”
Leonardo or my elder sister. She was a wild card at best, but she was my family. My blood. My true magical half. There was no question at all.
“We have no choice, Liam. We’re going to Capthian.”

Heiress of Darkness
Magic Reborn #2
September 29, 2017
Charlotte of Capthian has only known hardship. It’s not easy being the only daughter of a widowed laundress, but then, Charlotte has never chosen the easy path either.
When Charlotte’s mother becomes ill, she panics. She has no money for the medicine her mother needs, and the son of the town’s merchant has offered to help in any way he can… as long Charlotte allows him to tame her wild ways with marriage. But then the five sons of Bartow the trapper make Charlotte an offer she can’t refuse—accompany them on their month-long trapping expedition and they’ll advance her the money for her mother’s medicine.
Too bad she’s been dreaming about them for months. With their clothes off.
But she’d rather risk impropriety with the five incredibly looking brothers than marry the mealy-mouthed merchant’s son, so she readily agrees, then instantly regrets it. After an encounter at a small temple a few days into her journey, she’s overcome with feelings for all five brothers that she can’t explain. And surely she was hallucinating when she heard the woman at the temple tell Charlotte she is the Heiress of the Kingdom of Darkness and she has a role to play in the rebirth of magic.
Heiress of a Kingdom? Rebirth of Magic?
Charlotte would laugh it off, but suddenly she’s behaving in ways she’d never consider before. Never one to shy from a challenge, she willing to face it head on, but with each wanton act, she wonders how much truth there is to her being part of darker part of magic.
What is her role to play? And why does she fear she’ll bring the destruction of the world as she knows it?
