Haven (War of the Princes) (47 page)

           
I wondered if I had begun sleepwalking, or whether it was my dreams that called me outside. My white nightgown brushed my knees. The cold ground didn’t bother my bare feet.

           
The Pull led me forward, down the sleeping streets, over the bridges of trickling streams, through a pair of wrought iron gates and into the quietest of all gardens.

I would not move an inch farther. I stood there in silence, facing the ancient mausoleum, the gateway to the Outside World, knowing with complete confidence that I could find anything I looked for.

           
Even him.

A Note from the Author

Hello there and thank you for reading! This is my first book and if you enjoyed it I’d love to get a review from you on Amazon.com. Any and all support is much appreciated! My apologies if there were any issues with tabs. Kindle is still ironing out some conversion bugs. Please look for me online. I don’t bite… unless you ask very nicely.

Wang, Kelly Rector, and Natalie Savona, I am eternally grateful for early readers like you. Every writer needs a sanity check at the end of a project. “You like it? Okay, thank god.”

Words will never describe the depth of my appreciation for my fiancé, Kevin, who has supported me every step of the way. Thank you for believing in me. You’re a gem.

Lastly, to our dog, Luna, I am grateful for those breaths of fresh air that you forced me to take when I was buckling down on getting this book out.

A. R. IVANOVICH enjoys being swallowed by forests, sleeping on lakes, and watching the sky. Writing is her foremost passion, followed by painting, horseback riding, and nachos, not necessarily in that order. A. R. regularly encourages those around her to follow their dreams no matter the obstacles, because, as she can attest, the rewards are more than worth the effort. She was raised in Hawaii, where she once again resides, with her fiancé and their extensive family of rescue pets.
