In a world that has been divided amongst the Hunter race and the Warrior, prisoners who have fallen prey to King Cyrus’ decrees are forced into the arena to fight until death. Winner is granted mercy and privilege to see another sunrise. Death unto the weak. In an attempt to get back at everyone who has ever shut her out, seventeen year-old Princess Echo becomes another victim, dragging Ayden, her forbidden love, along in a race to freedom, to find out who she really is, and to put a world that has been swallowed by lies back together again.
In the first installment of The Bleeding Heart Trilogy, life becomes a dangerous game of kill or be killed, love or let go. When death threatens the forbidden love of an unlikely couple and they are forced to do the unthinkable, to what extent will they go to be together?
Excerpt:
I knew,
without a shadow of a doubt, I was going to die tonight. There was no escaping
it or any way around it. I couldn’t run from my destiny this time; I couldn’t
hide. No, tonight I faced my fate in the chambers of death. The screams of the
crowd in the arena filled my ears, the shouts of excitement and laughter
boiling my heart down to nothing but untainted sorrow. I refused to open my
eyes, but I could sense where I was by that rusty smell of metal and dried
blood Father brought home with him every day. The shackles that bound my ankles
and wrists to the wall confirmed it. I was a prisoner in my own home, my own
Haven. I couldn’t fathom how in forty-eight hours my life had taken a complete
three-sixty spin, but here I was, locked in the dungeon of my father’s kingdom,
hidden from the world until it was my time to surface.
