Book Description:
Years of hard work preceded her
entry to the Oval Office. She attended the right prep schools and right
colleges. She made sure to make all the right contacts, ingratiating herself
into the right circles. But all those rights hadn’t been enough.
In the end, she’d needed her
mother.
And now it was time to repay that
debt.
Excerpt:
There are no
roads, tunnels, or bridges linking Earth to Beyond. Ships, airplanes, or
rockets can’t transport us there. The only passage is through the Emerald
Portal, the gateway between our two worlds. And the only one who can grant access
to the portal is the queen of Beyond—my boyfriend’s mom.
My name is
Cordelia Hammer and I’m a demon. Not the human, teen variety, but an actual
supernatural. My father is the demon sovereign of Paris. Each city has its own
council made up of royal representatives who oversee the supernatural activity
of their kind within their jurisdiction. Currently, I’m apprenticing for King
Sebastian, the demon sovereign of London.
As I wondered
what Jagger was talking about, digesting his words — Mother insists that the
new fae princess must be born at the palace — a green mist appeared in the
corner of the bedroom of the Seattle hotel suite where Jagger and I were
staying.
“I suggest we
both throw on some clothes,” Jagger muttered, picking up his black jeans from
the floor. “It would be unfortunate to appear in front of my mother in our
birthday suits.”
“Huh?”
“Hurry up,
Cordelia. We only have a few minutes before we get sucked into that portal.”
“Is that the
Emerald Portal?” I looked at it in awe as the mist morphed into a tunnel. I
took a step toward it to peek inside.
“No!” Jagger
pulled me back. “Get dressed, please.”
“Into what?” I
had no idea what the weather was like in Beyond or whether an audience with the
queen of Beyond required formal attire. Jagger had thrown on his favorite black
jeans and white T-shirt, his black motorcycle jacket in hand.
“Anything,” he
said. “Something comfortable. And make sure it’s very warm as it’s always cold
in Beyond—freezing, in fact. I’ll call GRIP in the meantime to let them know
that I won’t be in today.”
GRIP—the Global
Retrieval and Intelligence Program—that’s where Jagger worked. GRIP had been
founded following the attacks on the international supernatural communities
during Code Uprising to monitor and curtail any subversive activity. It had
become the authoritative supernatural agency regulating the global communities.
Well, except for the subterranean troll population who seemed to be completely
unregulated. Jagger was part of the GRIP Tactical Combat Force. I was pretty
sure that they wouldn’t be happy with him taking a day off right in the middle
of the most critical time in modern supernatural history, with a noncompliant
supernatural moving into the White House. Plus, just days ago, we’d captured
Katerina Miller—the monster responsible for the last spate of global
massacres—and were waiting to question her.
