Taran
Wird, who commands the power to wield fire and lightning, is an oddity in the
supernatural world. But neither Taran nor her unique sisters compare to the
bizarre entity known as Destiny. And Taran is assigned to protect her.
Born of two witches, Destiny is revered among the supernatural elite for her acute ability to predict the future. Her biggest prophecy involves Taran’s sister, Celia, whom Destiny decreed will bear children strong enough to take on the evil that’s rising. Yet Destiny is not alone in her predictions, or individuality.
When Johnny Fate, a rock star among humans and a male version of Destiny is discovered, his powers and Destiny’s clash, triggering the start of Destiny’s demise and altering the fate of Celia’s unborn children.
Taran, her werewolf lover Gemini, and their allies must determine if it’s Fate who will decide what will become of Celia’s children, or if their lives and the world will perish with Destiny.

OF
FLAME AND FATE Excerpt
Copyright © 2017 Cecy
Robson
I’m shoved into a cold room where a band of bloodsucking fiends
tear off my clothes. Their long nails graze my skin as their master watches,
his cold gray eyes glinting with malice.
“Son of a bitch,” I say, smacking Edith Anne’s hand away when she
cops a feel. “The demon’s in my leg, not my tit!”
There’s something you don’t say every day, but then that’s why
humans are safe in the world and weird gals like me are stuck with demons
burrowing under their skin.
“Just making sure,” Edith adds with a wink.
I’m ready to punch her in the face, except I’m too busy cringing
at the thing crawling beneath the length of my shin, its spindly insectoid
appendages stretching the skin as it curls up and over my knee cap.
“Get it out of me!” I screech, growing nauseous with each numbing
tug it creates beneath the underlying tissue.
“We’re trying,” Agnes Concepcion snaps, like I’m somehow
inconveniencing her by having an evil being claw its way through me.
Her tiny plaid skirt smacks against my hip as she shoves me into a
massive glass and tile shower. Three other vamps, dressed like naughty Catholic
schoolgirls (don’t get me started) follow us in, bottles of champagne tight in
their grips.
“What the hell?” I ask, kicking as if I can somehow shake this
thing loose, and certain the booze is to celebrate my grisly death.
Bottles of champagne open with a pop, the naughty Catholics
pouring the bubbly over my breasts, back, and ass. This isn’t real. This is
something out of a bad porno and somehow I’m the star.
But as the fluid reaches my thigh the lump with the creepy legs
bounces, pulling at the muscle it’s crawling over, squirming to the left then
right, trying find its way around the torrent of liquid they’re pelting me
with.
“Don’t let it reach her heart,” Master Vampire Misha Aleksandr
orders from the opposite side of the bathroom.
“What’s it going to do to my heart?” My head whips back and forth
when none of the vamps answer. “It’s going eat my freaking heart isn’t it?”
“Don’t be ridiculous,” Agnes mutters, adjusting her tiny librarian
glasses as she angles the bottle she’s holding.
“Okay . . .” I begin.
“It needs your heart to nest and lay its eggs,” she explains.
“What?”
“But yeah, then the hatchlings will munch on your heart like raw
steak,” Edith adds. She reels me around when additional vamps swoop in with
cases of wine, drenching my chest with more alcohol.
She seems to be having fun. I’m mostly trying not to hurl and
wondering how the hell this happens to me.
Agnes is more focused. She drips the wine just above the demon,
forcing it back down my leg. “Quiesco,” she says, her tone as sharp and
commanding. “Quiesco.”
My body shudders as the demon scurries downward. Its movement
doesn’t hurt, surprising since I think it has pinchers, but the yanking motion
is unnerving, like getting stitches while under anesthesia. My head flops
forward and my vision starts to swim.
“I don’t feel good,” I mumble.
Agnes slaps me, the sting of the strike causing my eyes to whip
open. “Don’t fall asleep.” She slaps me again when my eyelids flutter and
close. “Taran, the poison the demon is spewing is numbing your skin and making
you drowsy, if you succumb to it the alcohol won’t work and the demon will take
you.”
Again, her palm whips across my face. “Stay awake so we can cut
this thing out of you.”
I slap her back, knocking her glasses askew. “I’m awake, damn it.”
She smirks because she hits harder and maybe because she likes it,
too. She returns to my leg when the vamp behind her hands her another bottle of
champagne. “Quiesco,” she whispers against my leg, her breath hot
against my cooling skin.
My head falls forward as I start to go under. This time, Edith
smacks me.
“God damn it,” I hiss, my right arm quaking and threatening to
release my flame.
“I was just taking my turn,” she replies defensively.
Her gaze locks on my arm. She eases away as a spark of blue and
white escapes from my fingertips, giving me and my power ample space as the
surrounding vamps shower me with alcohol.
“Master,” Agnes says, ignoring us as she concentrates on my thigh.
“It’s settling. I need the knife.”
“The wolves are bringing it,” he replies.
“The wolves?” I ask. Okay. Now I’m wide awake.
