Summary

When the world self-destructs, literally, does that truly mean the end? Es is finally starting to feel like things are looking up when she lands her dream job as a photographer – until unprecedented earthquakes send her and everyone else plummeting into oblivion. By the time she realizes she’s not dead, she’s being chased by monsters, seeing a green sky, pulled by magnetic crystals, and to top it all off, she finds herself captured aboard a space-ship and held prisoner with two nightmarish creatures watching her every move. Valdrik has been searching for his long-lost beloved for over four hundred years after her mother and eldest brother, Kalis, were brutally murdered by her father. When he finds her at last, she has no memory of who she really is. Once she finally learns her forgotten past, they must trust each other in a race to stop her father, the Elven King, and rescue her siblings from his atrocities – before they all end up dead.

The Beginning of the End

This is it. This is how I die.

As Es fell out of the office window, the wind stung her eyes and pulled strands of hair from her ponytail. She floated among desks, broken glass, and other people finding themselves on the verge of death.

Those people that say your life flashes before your eyes when you are about to die? It was more like seeing everything in slow motion, as if her being thrown out a window suddenly plunged her into a movie.

Falling out of a building from over twenty stories up wasn’t how she thought her life would end. Especially when things seemed to finally start going right for once. When Mr. Tom Thornton had called two days ago to schedule an interview, it couldn’t have come at a better time. Although now it seemed like the worst timing.
