In the Tower of the Wizard King
by Michelle Miles
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: Fantasy (epic)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
In the Age of
Wizards, Time is a commodity more valuable than gold. When Aoife (EE-fa)
stumbles upon an antique trunk in the attic, it calls to her with an ancient
magic. Inside she finds a stairway leading into darkness and cannot resist
stepping onto that first stair. It leads her to dark truths her mother never
wanted her to uncover and love so powerful she walks through time to save it.
Her magic is dormant.
When Aoife Burke
rushes home after the unexpected death of her father, she discovers her mother
has vanished amidst inexplicable circumstances. She returns to her childhood
home to search for clues of her mother’s whereabouts but another shock awaits
her. Sean O’Connell, the object of her girlhood crush, has purchased the family
home. She senses Sean is hiding something from her, refuses to let her inside
and does everything he can to keep her out. A determined Aoife breaks inside and
stumbles upon an antique trunk in the attic. When she opens it, instead of the
normal musty clothes and ancient letters, she finds a stairway leading into
darkness. It calls to her and she cannot resist stepping into the trunk and
onto that first stair where it leads her to magical truths her mother never
wanted her to discover.
His magic is dangerous.
Sean O’Connell has
been assigned by the Inter-dimensional Portal Protection Agency to keep Aoife
and her mother out of Faery. But when she breaks into the house and disappears
through the portal in the trunk—like her mother—he has no choice but to follow
her, even though stepping into Faery will force him to face his past. Keeping
her safe and out of the hands of the Wizard King also becomes a fight to save Aoife’s
life from her own mother, who has discovered a time portal in Faery leading her
back in time to alter her past mistakes, putting Aoife’s life in peril. Sean is
willing to do anything to make sure she’s safe. Even if it means he has to tap
into his dangerous magic to do it.

EXCLUSIVE EXCERPT:
As he
spoke, Aoife saw sudden pinpricks of light and her knees turned to water and
buckled. Sean lunged for her and caught her in his arms, holding her upright.
She clutched his tunic in her fist, her mother’s words haunting her. I mean to
save a life and correct a past mistake. She knew what her mother meant to do
when she went back in time.
“Aoife?”
Niall tried to move toward her, concern etched on his face, but Sean gave him a
warning glare. He stepped back.
“The
Eradication Spell was in the attic. We have to stop her,” she whispered. Then
to Niall, “I’m all right.”
Sean
gave her a nod of understanding and helped her stand upright again. He turned
to Niall.
“What
is this Tears of the Dryad?” he asked.
“A
potion. One drop can open a portal,” Niall said. “To anywhere. She stole it
from my father’s workroom and used it to escape.”
“Is
that when she went to the human realm?” Aoife asked.
Niall
nodded. “I believe so. Prince Cian had come to reclaim her that same night. He
and his army waited at the foot of the cliffs. But it was snowing heavily and
it was too risky for him to ascend to attack. He eventually returned to
Anatolia. At the time, I thought with Fiona. But when I received a message
demanding her return, I knew she had gone elsewhere. It took me a while to
track her down in the human realm. I found her living with a mortal.”

AUTHOR BIO:
Michelle Miles grew up in North Central Texas in a rodeo town but was
far more interested in nerdy things like Star Trek and Star Wars. She started
writing fan fiction in high school. When being an archeologist like Indiana
Jones or a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader didn't work out, she decided writing was
her gig and has wanted to write her own stories ever since.
Her love of romance started when she picked up Victoria Holt and
Daphne du Maurier and was immediately smitten with the genre. But she also
found another love in the fantasies of Patricia A. McKillip and Anne McCaffrey.
Since she couldn’t decide which genre to pick—and because she’s a true
Gemini—she decided it would be super fun to write contemporary and fantasy
romance. She is a member of Romance Writers of America and has served on the
board of several chapters as president and treasurer.
In her spare time, she enjoys listening to music, reading,
cross-stitching and watching movies. A Native Texan, she loves castle, dragons,
fairies and elves and is an avid Game of Thrones fan. She can be found online
at Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and Goodreads.
