Alataris reached out toward me, trying to snatch my hand. “I will come back for you, my Zinnia.”
I slapped his seeking grasp away, and the sheer drafts forced him back even further. Dirt pelted into him, along with the shattered glass from the broken windows. A large gash opened on his cheek.
He dropped to the ground beside my mother and wrapped his arms around her. “Soon.”
The barrier tossed him back while he clung to my mother. They tumbled and spun, picked up by the tornado of magic and carried out of Hexia. The last thing I saw was my mother’s shocked face as he dragged her away with him. Her screams echoed around me, long after she was gone.
“Mom, no!” I got up to run after them even though I knew they were gone. Hot tears streamed down my face as I reached out for her hands. A sob broke past my lips. “Come back, Mom!”
Tucker caught me around the shoulders and pulled me to his chest. “Shh, we’ll find her.” He bent low to meet my eyes. “I swear it. We will find her.”
I buried my face in his chest and let the tears flow freely. “I know, because I won’t stop until we do.”
“I’m with you, Zin…to the end.”
I hope you enjoyed watching Zinnia’s story unfold. To find out what happens to her mother and if Tucker can keep his soulmate mark a secret keep on reading. The second book in The Royals: Witch Court, Wicked Magic, is releasing fall 2018 and is available for pre-order now just CLICK HERE!

They all fear my power…they should.
Finding out I’m a witch was a shock. But now that I’m in the world of Evermore I’ll do anything to protect it even if that means dying…
The evil King Alataris has stolen my mother, my life, and now he’s taken something that could unleash hell on earth. With a powerful Ice Dragon under his every command there is no telling where he will strike next. The Witch Queens have been tasked with saving Evermore. The only problem? The others fear the wild, powerful nature of my magic and sometimes so do I!
The only one who can help me contain it is my protective Knight, Tucker Brand. But even he has his own set of secrets. My feelings for him are overwhelming and strictly forbidden, if we give into the fire we share for even a moment we will lose everything.
When it comes time to take back what Alataris has stolen we set out on our most perilous mission yet. To save the Dragon and Evermore before it’s too late. If we fail, the world as we know it will come to an end…and all will be lost for Evermore.

This power chose me…
Within the supernatural world of Evermore everyone prays their child will be born with the Mark of the Guardian for they have unparalleled strength, intelligence, and power…but they have no idea what it’s actually like. I didn’t wish for this gift and I definitely don’t want it. I was born a prince, I already had it all. This Mark on my neck stole all of it from me and forced me into a dangerous life I’d gladly trade away if I could…
But now the Witch Queens have ascended and it’s time to try and defeat the evil King once and for all. For over a thousand years his cruelty has spared no one as his torturous power grows stronger. He must be stopped now, before his reign destroys everything and anything in his way. So I must push aside my dreams of returning home to the family that cast me out. I must step up and claim the power that chose me. I must enter the Trials and become a Knight in the Witch’s Court.
There’s only one way to prevent the tyrannical king from destroying everything I love…I must become the one thing he can’t beat.
