Chapter One
Adele
Present day
The light gleams off the barrel of the gun with a
brightness that blinds me if I look directly at it. My hands are sweaty as I
clutch the weapon that once upon a time was so foreign, but now seems so
familiar. The gun’s every detail is burned into my memory, from the temperature
of the cold steel against my palm, to its weight tugging on my wrist, to the
strong yet delicate scent of burning gunpowder.
When I turn the corner and enter the room, it’s all
happening again. My dad is bound and lying prostrate on the rough stone floor,
the executioner’s gun to his head. A half dozen other sun dwellers bar my way
forward. There’s more than the last time, but it doesn’t matter. A million of
them couldn’t stop me. Not this time.
I raise the gun and start shooting. Six booms later my foes
are all dead, red and warm and blank-eyed. In the heat of the moment, I
continue shooting, this time at the executioner, but the click click click announces that I’m out of bullets.
I toss the gun aside and charge forward, kicking his bland
face with my heel. He slumps to the side, his own weapon discarded by his
weakened fingers. I’ve done it this time. Saved him—saved my father. But I know
something’s not right as I realize my sister isn’t by his side like she should
be. The glitter of light reflecting off something hanging from my neck
distracts me. I reach up, close my hands around an emerald necklace, the one my
mother gave me after my father died.
The necklace my father gave my mother. This isn’t right—none of this is right.
As I lean over the face of the man who I immediately know is
not my father, the Devil’s eyes flash open, the gateway to a black and soulless
human shell.
“Didn’t you know?” the President says. “Your father’s
already dead. And you’re next.”
My heart is in my throat as the demon lifts his hand, which
is now holding a long glinting sword with a diamond-encrusted hilt, which I
either didn’t notice before or which has magically appeared.
As his white-knuckled hand darts forward, I scream. Although
I don’t close my eyes, blackness surrounds.
* * *
I’m still screaming and seeing
darkness when a pair of strong arms cradles my head. “Shh,” a voice says.
I quiet but I’m still breathing hard, panting like I’ve just
run a long way, my chest heaving. An instant later there’s a soft glow as a
lantern is lit, casting dancing shadows on the rough, brown tunnel walls.
Tristan’s arm is still behind my head, and when he sees me looking at him, he
retracts it quickly, his face flush with embarrassment. “You were dreaming,” he
says. “I heard you cry out.”
I close my eyes, try to will the frantic pace of my heart to
slow, as I remember where I am. In a tunnel on the way to the Sun Realm. On a
mission for my mother, General Rose. As Tristan’s father pointed out in my
nightmare, my father’s still dead—nothing can change that. No amount of fresh
killing or revenge or trigger pulls will make one bit of difference. And yet
the furnace of revenge burns hotly in the pit of my stomach. Kill his father.
Kill the President. That is our mission.
OTHER BOOKS IN THE DWELLERS SAGA
The Moon Dwellers Synopsis:
In a desperate attempt to escape destruction decades earlier, humankind was forced underground, into the depths of the earth, creating a new society called the Tri-Realms.
After her parents and sister are abducted by the Enforcers, seventeen-year-old Adele, a member of the middle-class moon dwellers, is unjustly sentenced to life in prison for her parents' crimes of treason.
Against all odds, Adele must escape from the Pen and find her family, while being hunted by a deranged, killing machine named Rivet, who works for the President. She is helped by two other inmates, Tawni and Cole, each of whom have dark secrets that are better left undiscovered. Other than her friends, the only thing she has going for her is a wicked roundhouse kick and two fists that have been well-trained for combat by her father.
At the other end of the social spectrum is Tristan, the son of the President and a sun dweller. His mother is gone. He hates his father. Backed by only his servant and best friend, Roc, he leaves his lavish lifestyle in the Sun Realm, seeking to make something good out of his troubled life.
When a war breaks out within the Tri-Realms, Tristan is thrust into the middle of a conflict that seems to mysteriously follow Adele as she seeks to find her family and uncover her parents true past.
