BLURB:
My name is Telor
Conway, and I am going to destroy Death. Bring her to her knees in front of me.
I don’t know how and I
don’t know when.
The only thing I know
for certain, is that nothing will come between me and my soul mate ever again.
I’ve been given a
second chance at life, a life with Catalina. I’ve been given something worth
fighting for.
I will fight for it,
for her… for us. Even if it is the last thing I do.
I have thrown the
gauntlet.
On your marks.
Get set.
Go.

Excerpt:
Time had grated on me. Not because I hadn't enjoyed it, I
had enjoyed every second of it, but because I couldn't help the nagging feeling
in the back of my mind warning me to not become complacent. The other shoe
would drop and it had.
Destiny and Life have basically disappeared; I had their
numbers but had been trying to convince myself I didn't need their help. I
couldn't gamble like that, not with Catalina's life. Not with our future. If it
took swallowing my pride, I would do it in a heartbeat. Oliver’s visit only
solidified my decision further. I pulled my phone from my pocket and let my
finger hover over Denny's name for a moment before I sighed and dialed it.
It rang four times before it went to a generic voice mailbox
that read his number back to me with instructions to leave a message. After the
beep, I stayed silent for far too long, not sure exactly where to start. The
only comfort I had was that Denny understood me like few in this world and the
Other did.
"This was too easy," I confessed out loud for the
first time. Saying it made me feel like a failure. A failure that would get
more than just myself killed. "I know Tori, better than I care to admit
to. I knew she wouldn’t bow out gracefully. We need to talk. In person."
I hung up, letting my confession speak for a plea in and of
itself. Denny and Robin both risked a lot to keep us alive and together, I
would have liked to think they would have a vested interest in us staying that
way. I had made the call, now all I could do was wait for my plea to be heard
and headed.
