Wild Soul Rising - Paperback

by Devyn Rivers (Author)

Lexana Daevian will do anything to make her mediocre life in Turth more exciting. Her diplomat father ignores her, her older brothers hate her--with one foot in the slums, the other in the palace high life, she's at a loss at where she belongs. When she's caught stealing something magical, she finds she can't give it back. Now she's stuck on a journey to a faraway land she knows nothing about, with an irate Northerner who wants to kill her.

In all his thousands of years of immortality, Vallon Allavara can't recall when he was last this outraged. A ward has been stolen by one of the most stubborn and defiant woman he's ever met. It's one of twelve wards created which enable the humans who possess them to channel magic and become immortal. The sole purpose being to protect the oblivious world from darkness. Bottom line - she is absolutely not qualified to hold one. As one of the twelve magic keepers, or Tal'resh, Vallon knows the only way to get the ward back is to kill her. But of course it's never that easy. To make matters worse, the several millennia old prison holding their long-time enemy, Vesryn Dane, is weakening beyond repair. A war unlike the world has ever seen is coming and they are vastly under prepared.

Wild Soul Rising is a story of adventure, romance and loss but mostly it's about the journey of self-discovery and the often perilous path back to the soul. It contains explicit sex scenes and dominating themes of enemies to lovers, "why choose," and violence.
