Description

Piper Griffiths wants one thing in life: To become a Consul, a keeper of the peace between humans and daemons. There are three obstacles in her way.

The first is Lyre. Incubus. Hotter than hell and with a wicked streak to match. His greatest mission in life is to get Piper into bed and otherwise annoy the crap out of her. The second is Ash. Draconian. Powerful. Dangerous. He knows too much and reveals nothing. Also, disturbingly attractive — and scary. Did she mention scary?

The third is the Sahar Stone. Top secret magical weapon of mass destruction. Previously hidden in her Consulate until thieves broke in, went on a murder spree, and disappeared with the weapon.

And they left Piper to take the fall for their crimes.

Now she’s on the run, her dreams of becoming a Consul shattered and every daemon in the city gunning to kill her. She’s dead on her own but there’s no one she can trust — except two entirely untrustworthy daemons . . . See problems one and two.

Advance Praise

"What an exciting, action filled adventure! The pacing was fast and engaging. The characters were well developed and the world building was imaginative and believable."

"Piper is a fantastic lead character. She's strong and independent, not obsessed over a guy, not immune to them either, sometimes makes rash decisions and judgements, and overall is a very human, relatable character."

"Couldn't put it down! Chase the Dark is the kind of book where you stay up until 2am, saying to yourself just one more chapter, until there are no more chapters left."

"Wonderful fantasy novel without a vampire to be seen! Plot twists that you don't see coming and an attention to detail that makes characters and scenery easy to imagine."

"I love when the female leading character isn't one of those that waits around for someone else to save her."

"The story is a fast-paced nail biter through and through, and the world that Annette Marie weaves with her writing is unique, fascinating, and engaging. Before you know it, you're caught up in the politics of the [Consulate], rooting for Piper, and wondering what side her daemon friends are on."
