The Harbinger (Fight for Light #2)
Nikki Landis
I have a gift. A dark exotic power that resonates deep inside me, protects me from harm, and from the evil that seeks to destroy me. My gift is a harbinger of fate. It leads me toward a destiny I must fulfill and yet terrifies me at every turn. I have no choice but to accept it, to follow the path laid before me, to engage in the reality that I may not survive, and worse yet, that I may not be able to save the ones that I love.
With my Guardian protector beside me I seek the truth, the reason for the attacks against my life, and the knowledge of how to defeat an enemy so evil I may never live long enough to destroy it. How much longer do I have? What cruel plot and twist of fate lurks in the shadows?
Darkness is approaching...

An excerpt:
With my finger I began to trace a shape in the soft dirt. At first I did not realize what I had done and then, jolting myself back to awareness, my gaze landed on the shape.
An infinity symbol.
The same my Gramps used to draw.
With a gasp and a small cry I jumped to my feet. I felt his eyes on me, this somewhat stranger who had rescued me, but I did not acknowledge him. His eyes followed my gaze until he saw the shape in the dirt. I kicked at it with my shoe and erased it, smoothing the dirt back, and walked away, needing to leave this confined space and the painful memories that filled it.
I suddenly ran, into the dark, stumbling on the uneven ground, bumping into the solid walls, all in an effort to forget. Forget the demon. Forget my dead grandfather. Forget the pain. Even forget the attack from an hour ago.
Up ahead was a dim light. I ran toward it, bursting into a large cavern, and gasped. All around me, floor to ceiling, were hundreds of blue glowing rocks. It was like the stars and constellations framed by the moon in the dead of night, only more mysterious, and beautifully eerie.
I spun around in a circle, three hundred sixty five degrees, and from every angle the blue algae glowed, clinging to the rocks, in some spots heavier and cloistered together, and in others sparse but equally stunning.
I smiled.
"Don't touch them," a voice whispered behind me. Right behind me. Close enough that I could feel his heated breath on the back of my bare neck. "The algae are poisonous."
I did not answer. Words seemed wrong in this amazing silent place. I stayed where I was, watching, for long minutes that continued to stretch by, unending, one after another.
A wet plop fell to the ground next to me. Then another. I lifted my hand, palm side up, as a clear drop of liquid splashed in the center. My hand trembled.
I am unsure why, but my rescuer lifted his hand, placing it under my own, and steadied it. His other hand rested against my waist, gently, only the hint of pressure as it stayed, determined and fixated. Neither of us moved. I cannot be sure but I thought I heard him inhale, more than once, the fragrance of my hair and skin.
I slowly turned, facing him, as a hundred questions formed on my lips. His hand held mine even tighter and the other refused to break its place, remaining on my waist.
