PHOENIX CONTRACT
by Melissa
Thomas
NOTE: The five books in this series are FREE on
Kindle.
BLURB:
Centuries after the fallen angels left heaven to live among
humans, their Nephilim descendants dwell in secret, hidden from the modern
world. Once, a charismatic leader known as the Phoenix led their people, but he
vanished centuries ago. The few surviving Great Houses are in decline, bickering
over petty rivalries while a handful of faithful warriors battle to keep the
forces of evil at bay.
Eighteen-year-old Aiden McLachlan devotes her life to her
studies and pursues her lifelong goal to become a full-fledged Watcher. But
everything she knows of her life is a lie and everyone a liar. Through a
strange twist of fate, she finds herself caught up in an ancient prophecy.
The stars predict the rebirth of the Nephilim leader, but the
mystery must be unraveled or the Phoenix cannot rise. With a soul-eating demon,
a coven of ancient vampires, and a hardheaded Celtic warrior competing to
subvert the Phoenix, Aiden doesn't know where to turn or who she can trust.

EXCERPT:
Magnus loomed over her, attempting to inspect
her injuries. His fingers were hot and alien against her skin, and she flinched
from his touch.
“Stay put while I retrieve the crucifix,”
Magnus ordered. He moved away from her. A moment later, he returned carrying
the crucifix.
Aiden shook her head but stayed still. She
automatically tried to place his accent and failed. There were too many layers.
“Where are you from? I can’t quite place your nationality.”
“I’m Averni.” He sank to the ground beside
her, and those six-fingered hands touched her again, causing her flesh to
crawl.
“The Averni were a Celtic tribe,” Aiden said.
Her foggy mind recalled little else other than the Averni had been from the
region of Gaul before it became France.
“That’d be correct.” The Celt reached out with
his strange, strong fingers and pushed Aiden’s head to the side to expose the
wound. He removed her hand and examined the bite. His glittering gold eyes were
intelligent and inhuman. Up close he smelled earthy and sensual, a suggestive
scent which caused Aiden to flush and look away.
“Why is your name Latin?” she asked.
“My mother was Roman. Stay still,” he replied.
“How bad is it?” Matthew asked.
“Not too bad.” Magnus threaded the crucifix’s
chain through his fingers so the holy symbol rested in his palm. He opened the
silver flask and poured holy water over the crucifix.
Aiden felt excited and afraid and so tense she
wanted to crawl out of her skin. “Are you really immortal?”
“Yes,” Magnus said. “This is going to hurt.
I’m going to have to hold you down.”
