Auriella’s new life as a royal protector is in shambles. The new king ignores her warnings of a Shadow Legion invasion and he is determined to marry her off. Ghosts from her past, the discovery of other Watchers, and a handsome Scottish warrior throw her off guard and weaken her emotional defenses. Caught in a web of secrecy and betrayal, Auriella struggles to control and protect the devastating power of Starfire. A terrible truth and a fateful choice will lead her to her destiny as the fabled Lady of Neviah, or could shroud the entire world in eternal darkness. Filled with action, romance, drama, and comedy, Hidden Fire is an addicting read that you won’t want to put down.
The Watchers Series has been described as Braveheart meets Supernatural. The mythology for the series is based on many theological texts from dozens of sects with correlating themes. Ancient writings include the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Traditional Apocrypha, the Pearl of Great Price and the Kabbalah. The Watchers are supernatural beings in human form whose duty it is to protect and guard mankind from the armies of darkness. Unfortunately, as the Book of Enoch mentions, some of these Watchers go bad.

Snippet Time!
My eyes sprang open, and
blue flames shot from my hands into the sky. Air rushed in and out of my lungs
like a whirlwind. The trees blew sideways as I exhaled.
Lightning flashed overhead.
The ground rumbled at my feet. Earth essences flooded through me, mixing with
the wind and fire. Energy shattered across the treetops and raced over every
leaf and branch like lightning bolts.
“Keep control of the
energy!” Azrael shouted above the sound of the electric wind.
I had the power of fire,
wind, earth, water, life, spirit, and even death racing through me. It was like
trying to wield seven long whips that sparked when they clashed together. I had
to unite them and gain control. I wrangled the seven elemental streams of
energy together. The elements blew out of my hands in white waves. The leaves
on the trees erupted in a celestial firestorm. Starfire illuminated my skin and
ran through my body like the blood in my veins.
Chaos surrounded me, then
everything went still and silent as if time itself stopped.
Gentle ethereal light curved
and swirled around my body like a slow whirlpool. A gown of shimmering pearl
silk cloaked the contours of my body. The heavenly cloth sparkled at my
slightest movement. Pink, blue, green, and gold aurora waves added to the
creation pallet floating around me. I touched the energy orb surrounding me
like a cocoon. It rippled in soft waves and let out a gentle soprano melody.
“The energy is moving too
fast,” Korban shouted. I could hear his words, but it was as if he was in a
dream far away.
“She’s consuming all the
energy of Earth.” Orion’s urgent voice grew faint. “She’s becoming a weapon,
Azrael. You have to stop her, or she will never be able to touch another mortal
again.”
The sound of ocean mist
brushed past my ear like a whisper. Perfect round drops of water stood
suspended in the air, reflecting the light of many stars and worlds. It was the
most beautiful thing I had ever seen. Nothing on Earth could compare with the
divine celestial colors and lights. I reached out and touched a droplet. A
delicate indigo and gold flower blossomed from the tiny element. The creation
process became so clear. I immediately understood how to form life with a
single touch.
I reached out and touched
another sphere of water. The inhabitants of an unknown culture, several
galaxies away, flashed through my mind. In a split second, I saw every life
form on the planet and felt I knew each one individually.
Azrael sounded closer when
he said, “Her energy ‘tis too great. I can’t reach her.”
“You can, Azrael, and you
must,” Orion shouted. “Korban is dying.”
I pulled my hand back. What
had I done? I didn’t know how to step out of the creation cocoon spiraling
around me. “Azrael?” I whispered. My body tensed and the light whipped
violently. I took in deep breaths, searching for Azrael in the tempest of
energy.
A hand shot through the waves of heat and
grasped mine. Azrael stepped into the cocoon. His silver eyes reflected down on
me like twin mirrors. He held my glowing hand to his lips, kissing each
fingertip.
I was shocked at how
different, but beautiful, my hand looked pressed to his lips. Shimmering
iridescent light wrapped around our bodies.
“‘Tis your true form. What
you look like without your human body,” Azrael answered.
“Did I destroy my human
body?” I asked.
Azrael shook his head. “No,
but you need to come back now or you will not be able to stay here on Earth. We
need you, and the longer you are in this form, the more your mortal body dies.”
