Book Blurb: Breaking the Nexus
Throughout history, myths and legends of extraordinary creatures have been told and retold. Fantastic tales of demons and banshees, gryphons and dragons, and of course, magic. Stories that every child grows to learn are nothing more than fantasy…or are they?
Beyond the world you see lies a hidden realm, the Mythrian Realm, inhabited by all of the creatures you’ve been told are mere fiction. Only one thing lies between humans and the truth: the Nexus. A magical barrier erected millennia ago to separate the two realms, it has stood the test of time. Until now.
For Mythrian Sha Phoenix, magic is nothing new. But when she stumbles upon a portal on the verge of collapse, her fate will forever change. Pulled through the portal into the Human Realm, she lands in the middle of Detective Connor Flynn’s brutal murder scene. Soon it is obvious someone is using blood magic to try to bring down the Nexus. Together, Connor and Sha must work to unravel the secrets before the barrier falls and the realms collide.
The Nexus is breaking and all hell is about to unleash…literally.
Here is an EXCLUSIVE blurb from the book! Enjoy!
There was something very strange about that woman, though what it was, Connor couldn’t say for sure. Her evasiveness with the simplest of questions was puzzling to say the least. What had been most disconcerting was his reaction to seeing her once he’d arrived. When he’d gotten the call of a homicide and possible suspect still on the scene, he hadn’t been sure what to expect. During his tenure in homicide he’d seen everything from drug addicts beating someone to death over a dime bag to people shooting their spouse in cold blood just to avoid the cost of a divorce. There wasn’t much that surprised him anymore.
Finding a petite woman with blue streaks running through her blonde hair sitting in a pool of blood hadn’t fazed him. The quick punch of need that had slammed into him, though? That shocked the hell out of him. He’d seen his share of beautiful women on the job, it was hard not to in a city the size of Denver, but never had he felt attraction to them. Hell, that was too tame of a word for what he’d felt just now and it made no sense whatsoever. At least he’d had a good excuse to put some distance between himself and the witness.
Rather than continue to dwell on his reaction, Connor pulled on a set of gloves and crouched down next to the crime scene technician photographing the scene.
Learn More about Lindsay Avalon…
I am a wife, a programmer, and now an author. I have an adorable mini Schnauzer and more books than I have room for. I love reading romance because no matter what may be happening in my life, I can always count on my books to end happily ever after. The day I met my husband was the day I truly began believing in happily ever after. After hearing me complain a few too many times that I had “nothing” to read despite the hundreds of paperbacks scattered around the house, my husband began suggesting I write my own stories. When I finally took his advice I discovered that although I enjoy my day job as a software engineer, my true calling is to be an author.
My sister drilled into me an appreciation for fantasy and mythology, something I try to bring to my books. My debut novel, Breaking the Nexus started as a book written for NaNoWriMo and has grown to so much more. It was the conduit that introduced me to a fantastic group of independent authors who have changed my life in unimaginable ways.
When I’m not writing, I’ve found a passion for blogging and interviewing fellow authors. I also love reading (of course!), baking, crochet, sewing sock monkeys, playing video games, and all sorts of random crafts. I have an incurable love of rubber duckies and stuffed animals, and I believe nobody should have to grow up if they don’t want.
