Mystic Militia
by Cyndi Friberg
Shadow Assassins, Book Two: When Tori's sister is targeted by a Shadow Assassin, Tori finds herself trapped between two powerful, alien forces. The Shadow Assassins will stop at nothing to capture and possess their mates, yet the Mystic Militia are just as determined to prevent any more females from being victimized. Lor, leader of the Mystic Militia, knows firsthand the emotional devastation left behind by Shadow Assassins. Shortly after his arrival on Earth, he encounters Tori and sparks fly--literally. She's intriguing, attractive, and in more danger than she can ever imagine. From the moment their gazes lock, Tori knows there is something different about Lor. It's not just his handsome face and muscular body. He triggers a latent ability and suddenly she's "seeing" all sorts of things that can't possibly be real. All she wants is to find her missing sister and get on with her ordinary life. But once her eyes are open, there is no turning back. Note to Readers: This book contains detailed descriptions of sizzling passion only suitable for mature readers. From Cyndi: I knew I wanted to bring the Shadow Assassins to Earth; I just wasn't sure how to do it. Then Lor started whispering in my ear. At first, I pictured him as an advocate for the frustrated Shadow Assassins. Then the story began to take shape in my mind and it was obvious he was hunting the hunters. This book has a more contemporary feel than many of my other books. It's definitely a steamy romance, and even though it's set in Las Vegas, it's generously shaded with sci-fi and fantasy themes. Enjoy!About the AuthorAnything-but-Ordinary is a creed I try to reflect in my writing. Though all of my books have a paranormal twist, the main focus remains love, loyalty and the struggle for redemption. My writing has won numerous awards and appeared on several best seller lists. I live in Colorado with my high school sweetheart turned husband of many years. With a pampered cat curled on the corner of my desk, I dream of faraway worlds and larger than life adventures—and wouldn't have it any other way!
