Chrysalis: Medieval magic meets modern-day mystery (Colour of Light #2)
Jacky Gray
When Archer rescued Rory from bullies many years ago, she was smitten, but he was lukewarm. She doesn't realise what she'd do to grab his attention until her supposed BFF decides he'd look good on her arm. When Rory's gift, delayed from puberty, has her blacking out in the lighting box for a high school show, only he can help. What was that about being careful what you wish for?
The revelation that her mum and Archer come from a quasi-medieval alternate-world should have knocked Rory for six, but strange dreams clue her that she might have something in common with her idol, Buffy. As if! Archer's attempts to help control her powers bring a bittersweet torture, but with college looming, she must persevere
Archer's mission to scope out the threat from the technology-obsessed world breaching into his own includes protecting Rory. But his orders are clear - inter-world relationships are verboten. It hurt to spurn her teenage crush, but grown-up Rory proves irresistible. As her gifts develop, the growing connection to the monster threatening his world makes her dangerous to be around, and he has to choose between his heart and duty.
The chemistry between them unleashes a devastating energy as the monster escalates his evil plan. They must dig deep to endure unbearable torment, and defy fate to stop him from destroying everything they hold dear.
A blend of magical realism, humour and mystery/adventure, this medieval-meets-modern romance will delight fans of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Masquerade series..
Warning: Although mild in terms of sex, profanity and violence, some readers may be upset by the torment in a couple of scenes. Nothing fans of Hunger Games or Divergent can't handle. For those who dislike cliffhanger endings, part of chapter one from book #3 is included.
This story runs in parallel with the Hengist series, but it is not necessary to read them before enjoying this series, as the stories in Context give a good summary of key events.
