I've been super busy sourcing everything for the A Storm Rises exclusive kickstarter hardcover and I'm so excited!

Check out this gorgeous character art of Avalynn and Mateo dancing at the ball. The incredibly talented Samaiya Art really outdid herself! This will go on the hard casing under the dust jacket.

Avalynn and Mateo are PERFECT and Avalynn's dress is INCREDIBLE. If you've read the book, then you know this scene well.

Here's a clip...

Words fell away as the dance took them. The rhythm ebbed and flowed between them, each movement as intimate and perfect as the rise and fall of waves. No one else found space in her mind. It belonged to Mateo. He flooded her senses like a gentle ocean breeze. Those intense eyes, that long, sleek hair, his lean and muscular frame. The perfect scent of spice and vanilla that made her head spin. Best of all, his firm yet gentle touch. She would let him touch her all over if she could.

The room faded as she drifted closer to Mateo. The timeless gap between them disappeared. His eyes searched her face before finally drifting to her chest, roaming her curves with longing and desire. Should she move back? Or stay in this endlessly pleasing pose forever, letting him have her with his eyes?

The ballad ended. Another song began but they remained, eyes locked. A symphony of emotions swirled within her–desire, anticipation, and vulnerability. Feelings she had never experienced before, and most certainly did not expect. Especially from a hunter from the Sublands.

SWOON! 💘 I loved writing this scene so much, and I hoped you enjoyed reading it!

I'll have more to share soon, so stay tuned!
