The Witch of the Prophecy
by Victoria Jayne
Blurb:
The vampire whose heart beats for a witch that belongs to a wolf shall save us all. He shall take his throne and rule over all kinds. If not, the vampire who belongs to the witch will end all kinds.
Divina’s had it with the prophecy.
Divina’s not convinced the prophecy is about her. Her manipulative vampire ex-boyfriend, Rori, is reluctant to give up his love for her to pursue the throne. Meanwhile, the wolf shifter meant to claim Divina doesn’t believe in the prophecy. However, he does believe Divina is his mate.
With the pressures of the prophecy and the most powerful coven in the present-day United States, Divina is left to choose between complying with the prophecy and mating with Aric—or leaving it all behind to allow the catastrophic possibility of supernatural beings getting exposed to humans.
The Witch of the Prophecy is the first in a Trilogy. Combining the angst of a love triangle with the drama of the supernatural and a splash of heated passion takes the reader on an exciting journey. The Witch of the Prophecy is perfect for fans of Charlaine Harris, L.J. Smith, and Stephenie Meyer.
Excerpt:
“Perhaps looking at it a different way would help.” Florence sounded hopeful. All attention shifted upon her. She glanced at her sisters and brothers before she addressed Rori. “She returned the rhythm to your heart. Don’t you owe it to her to find the one to whom she belongs? Don’t you want her to live and to find true happiness?”
“And what of me?” Rori was selfish. The years had made him bitter, and the demands these witches had only added to it.
The thirteen witches surrounding Rori gasped. Florence hadn’t expected that answer. She frowned and sat back looking to her fellow witches for support. Esmine brooded. The blond sat with a blank expression. The others whispered among themselves.
At the end of the table, almost behind Rori, a young witch, not more than eighteen stood up. Her auburn locks were pulled back, pinned loosely in a bun. Her pale blue eyes were on Rori when she spoke. “You get something men of all kinds have spent lifetimes attempting to acquire.”
Rori turned to face her fully. Wasn’t that love? Wasn’t that supposed to be the be all end all? Wasn’t everyone in every lifetime chasing their heart’s desire?
They had told him Divina wasn’t meant for him. They had told him his heart would only beat for her and yet he would never have her. What was this infant witch attempting to tell him?
When she didn’t immediately offer up the answer, Rori turned to the other witches. Perhaps one of them knew what the ginger-haired witch meant. None spoke. They appeared as befuddled as Rori. So he shifted his attention back toward her.
“Well?” Rori asked impatiently.
The young witch furrowed her brow. “I thought it was obvious.”
Rori let out a cry of exasperation. “What is it with you witches?” He turned around, attempting to get a good look at every one of them. “Why must you speak in circles and poems? Just come out with it! Not one of you is immortal, yet you waste time as if you will live forever!”
“Power,” the blond announced.
The weight of the silence that filled the room had Rori sitting again. Not that he could see, but the red-haired witch sat as well, her point made.
Rori blinked a few times before he regained his ability to speak. “Emperor?”
“What good would it do you to be given a mortal?” Esmine asked while Rori pondered the gravity of what laid at his feet. “She has served her purpose in your life. She has quickened your heart. She has taken the numbness of existing beyond death away. With your ability to feel once more, you have now reached your full potential and can serve on the council properly.” Manipulation and coercion laced her voice.
