Clash of Kingdoms by Penelope Barsetti — book slip

I had the chance to leave these lands and avoid the war—but I chose to stay. I chose to stay because if I don't keep Harlow safe, she'll die.

The demons are a foe too powerful, invulnerable to Huntley's fire-breathing dragons, a fiend so untouchable that HeartHolme and the other kingdoms stand no chance. I've fallen hard for this woman—a human.

I've chosen to risk my immortality for her even though she wouldn't forsake her humanity for me. When this war is over, we'll go our separate ways...and never see each other again.

Huntley and I are forced to work together to save his kingdom, and his hatred for me is slowly replaced by something else...respect. Now I fight for more than just Harlow. I fight for her family...like they're my own.
