Dreams of the Cursed

Book #2 in the Dreamer Series

A violent war has waged in secret underneath the notice of humanity since the beginning of time. Evil has pledged the destruction of humanity in spite of a power those that covet it could not possibly contain. Now the Warriors have inherited this fight and are honor-bound to rid the world of this ancient malevolence. By guarding the most precious, piercing light they possess—their female kin known as the Oracles, or Dreamers—the Warriors have a chance against the darkness.

Chantal Breelan has suffered from horrific nightmares for most of her life,
believing something is wrong with her to have such visions of destruction. But
when creatures of terror came crawling out of the shadows to hunt her down
shortly after her eighteenth birthday, she discovered the truth. Her dreams
became reality, throwing her headfirst into a battle wrought by cursed
monsters, where death and torture lie at every turn.

Mathias is a descendant of a Fallen Angel and a powerful Warrior. He vows his
life in service to pay recompense for the sins of their fathers by guarding
Chantal from within the shadows. Long has he fought, shedding sweat and blood,
hoping that his struggles wouldn’t be in vain. With Chantal’s life in danger,
he’s been forced to reveal himself, yet she has managed to surprise him with
her fierce tenacity and strength. In his sacrifice, he finds redemption and
life’s ultimate reward—a love to surpass all time.

Now Chantal has picked up the reins of her birthright and stands by her Warrior
kin, by Mathias. She’s on a mission to rescue others like herself. Yet, in this
challenge, a battle of wits is exposed. New players are discovered, throwing
strategies into question. When the truth comes to light, can Chantal hold her
band of brothers together, or will they crumble under the weight of betrayal?

For the last two months, Brianna has discovered something she never thought she would again. Hope. After the horror of being Ian’s slave for ten months, a fate she never imagined she’d escape, it feels as if she is living a dream. She has freedom she hadn’t expected to have again, and she wakes up every morning not fearing what the day will bring.

There is also Stephan. The man who saved her from the daily torture she had to endure at the hands of Ian and his friends. The same man who makes her heart race with just the thought of him. Life is good.

Outside forces are determined to conspire against them, however. When Brianna’s father shows up on her doorstep, it sends her world spiraling out of control. He brings with him new information about how Brianna ended up in Ian’s clutches, but will it make a difference? Will Stephan be able to find a way to make Ian pay for all he made Brianna suffer?

As Brianna and Stephan try to find out the truth, their relationship is tested. She is forced to face her past head on and deal with the ugly reality of what happened to her. Will Stephan’s love be enough to see her through her newest challenge, or will the fragile trust they’ve built come crumbling down around them as the truth makes itself known.

Excerpt

Before I opened my eyes, I was aware of himbeside me. He had his arm draped over my stomach. It was warm andheavy, so I knew he was asleep.

I turned my head to look at him. He was lying onhis stomach, his face toward me, one hand tucked under his pillow. This wasonly the second time I’d seen him asleep. The first was shortly after I’d cometo live with him. I’d snuck into his bedroom—without permission—to give him ablowjob. It hadn’t ended how I’d thought it would. Then again, back then I’dknown next to nothing about him. I’d thought it would be what he wanted.Instead of being pleased, he’d ordered me out of his room and proceeded to giveme a lecture on how to thank him.

That morning seemed like a lifetime ago. A lot hadchanged since then. Stephan was no longer a stranger to me. He had helped menot be afraid all the time. He’d also opened up an entirely new world to meover the last two days. Before him, my sexual experiences had been of thenightmare variety. Sex wasn’t something I enjoyed. It was something I hated. Sexhad never been enjoyable for me, and I hadn’t expected it to be with Stephaneither. At best, I’d hoped it wouldn’t hurt like it had before and I’d be ableto endure it for him. What I’d discovered, however, was that I liked it. A lot.

As I watched him sleep, I remembered ourconversation less than a month ago when he’d told me that in some ways he waslike Ian. I still wasn’t sure what he’d meant by that because he was nothinglike the man who used to own me. Stephan was kind. He never forced me to doanything or hurt me just to hear me scream out in pain.

Were there some things he’d had me do that wereuncomfortable? Yes, lots of times. Talking about all the things that hadhappened to me wasn’t comfortable. Neither was sleeping on the floor. But afterall that I’d been through, they were minor things. He always explained why hewas doing something, letting me know there was a purpose behind the discomfort.

With every day that passed, I became moredetermined to please him, to be what he needed me to be. Sex had ended up beingan extremely pleasurable surprise. He’d given that to me. In return, I wasdetermined to give him what he needed.

Movement drew my attention back to his face. Heopened his eyes and smiled.

“Morning, Brianna,” he said in a groggy voice.

“Morning, Sir.”

Excerpt

“Come here, my dear.” Merclain smiled at her, revealing yellowing, crooked teeth. “Let me get you to a safe place.”

“Yeah, no thanks.” Chantal laughed. “But if you both survive, tell my brother, Damon, I said hi.”

“It is her, Merc!” Bubba pointed at her like a bona fide moron. Chantal smiled at them and bowed low with their arms held wide.

“The oldest known Oracle at your service.”

Both men began walking toward her slowly, pulling their own weapons from beneath their jackets. Bubba held a stumpy blade with a square tip and gnarly looking saw tooth edges. Merclain clutched a curved sword Chantal had seen in that movie about the Spartans with half-naked men. She didn’t pay much attention to the plot, much to Mathias’s annoyance. In any case, neither of their weapons held a candle to her lightweight katana, and she fingered the well-suited hilt with a familiarity that felt almost cathartic.

“Let’s get her, Merc!”

“Oh, come now. Do you really think I’m that stupid?” The men split up, trying to approach her at both sides. “Do I look like I’m stupid?” Merclain and Bubba stayed silent, assessing. “I’ll tell you what, let’s make a deal. If you two morons can defeat me, I’ll go with you. That no-good brother of mine will love you both. Throw you a parade or something.” The two men exchanged a loaded glance, and Bubba smiled like he’d won the lottery. “But, if I kick both of your pansy asses . . . well . . . I guess that’s just an overall win for me.”

“That doesn’t seem like a fair trade, my dear.” Merclain now stood five feet away, Bubba cutting off any escape to her right.

“It doesn’t seem like you boys are into equality.” Chantal pushed off the headstone and took a couple steps toward them. “Two grown men against helpless little girls. Let’s just say I’m evening the odds.”

“You think you can take both of us?” Bubba guffawed, his belly shaking like pudding. Chantal smiled wickedly.

“Absolutely.”

In the blink of an eye, the fight had been won, yet to Chantal, she could see it precisely as if it had been choreographed.

The attack came at her quick from the back and the front simultaneously. Merclain brought his scimitar down toward her head with a vicious swing. Chantal blocked the hit and countered it with an aggressive twist of her wrist, dispelling the weapon. In a flash, she spun on her heel and went down on bended knee, slicing her sword horizontally across both of Bubba’s shins as he tried to grab her from behind, amputating both legs below the knee. Bubba fell and clutched at the gushing wounds, his weapons clattering to the ground. Chantal spun back to Merclain just as he attempted to strike and plunged her blade deep into his ribs. Eyes rounded with shock, the oddly thin solider fell to the ground and dark crimson fluid bubbled from his mouth.

“You see?” Chantal gripped her sword and wiped her brow, smearing a streak of blood across her face. “Now that’s how you be cocky.”

Adrenaline zinged through her system but the red haze of rage she’d experienced with her first fight with the Kajola hadn’t appeared. Looking at both of her victims writhing on the ground from their mortal wounds, Chantal sheathed her blade, confident they were unable to come after her.

“You can’t keep them hidden from us,” Merclain spat at her, pink foam brimming at his mouth.

“You’re too late.”

“You’re not in much of a position to offer me threats.”

Merclain laughed, more a gurgling wheeze, and pointed to something behind her. Chantal turned to see the orange sun setting behind the horizon. The Shade would open at dusk and Chantal’s heart clenched in panic.

The girls . . .
