It's been four weeks since Ember Brycin witnessed what her powers are capable of. The Electrical Current Storm has turned Seattle, Washington into a natural disaster zone. The death toll is in the thousands with countless others homeless and hungry.
And Ember is the one who caused it. Something she will have to live with every day.
Those people who were unable to escape either turned quickly into gangs or live in shelters. Ember, on the other hand, can’t do either. With a price on her head and a Dark Dweller on her ass, she is constantly on the move. Both Light and Dark are hunting her for their own purpose to use her as a weapon or a pawn in the war between the Unseelie King of the Dark and the Seelie Queen of the Light.
Em needs help but doesn’t know who to trust: Lars, the mystery man Torin told her to find? Torin, the Seelie Queen’s personal knight, who has sworn to keep Em safe? Or Eli, who wants to turn her over to the Unseelie King, but whom she has an undeniable, intense connection with?
No matter what she chooses she will probably lose—her life or everything and everyone she loves.
Stacey Marie Brown by day is an Interior/Set Designer, by night a writer of Paranormal Fantasy, Adventure, and Literary Fiction. She grew up in Northern California, where she ran around on her family’s farm, raising animals, riding horses, playing flashlight tag, and turning hay bales into cool forts. Even before she could write, she was creating stories and making up intricate fantasies. Writing came as easy as breathing. She later turned that passion into acting, living and traveling abroad, and designing. Though she had never stopped writing, moving back to San Francisco seemed to have brought it back to the forefront and this time it would not be ignored.When she’s not writing she’s out hiking, spending time with friends, traveling, listening to music, or designing.
Who is your favorite character in the book?
Of course I love them all, especially Ember and Eli. But, I think my favorite characters to write in this book was Cal and Simmons. They have a personal connection to me. They are actually based off real people and we lost one of them recently. His personality and humor comes across in Cal; and I know, without a doubt, he would LOVE his character. He and Simmons have a very soft spot in my heart and were fun to write.
Which came first, the title or the novel?
Because this is the second book, the story was already in my head, so the novel came first in a way. But, for some reason, even if it changes, I need some kind of title while writing a book. Weird quirk of mine.
What scene in the book are you most proud of, and why?
I can’t really talk about it without giving away a huge twist, but there is a scene that someone comes into her life and completely flips her world around. It is both gut-wrenching and beautiful.
What do you like most about the cover of the book?
I love the fire bursting out from behind Ember. There is something mysterious and intriguing about that along with her two different colored eyes. Ember’s connection to fire is deep and complicated.
What’s up next for you?
I am currently writing Book 3, Dwellers of Darkness. A lot more is revealed in this one. Things start connecting, but still expect more twist and turns, love and betrayal!
Is there anything that you would like to add?
I’d like to thank all the fans who have supported my books and love these characters as much as I do—especially to my fans who have been so vocal about getting these books out to others. I love all you, old and new! And to future readers--I hope you enjoy the story and let yourself go along for the ride. It’s not meant to be the book of the century, just a fun, enjoyable read—with lots of hot guys, sexual tension, adventure, and funny dialogue.
Freak. Witch. Crazy. Schizo.
Ember Brycin has been called them all. She’s always known she’s different. No one has ever called her normal, even under the best circumstances. Bizarre and inexplicable things continually happen to her, and having two different colored eyes, strange hair, and an unusual tattoo only contributes to the gossip about her.
When the latest school explosion lands her in a facility for trouble teens, she meets Eli Dragen, who’s hot as hell and darkly mysterious. Their connection is full of passion, danger, and secrets. Secrets that will not only change her life, but what and who she is—leading her down a path she never imagined possible.
Between Light and Dark, Ember finds a world where truth and knowledge are power and no one can be trusted. But her survival depends on finding out the truth about herself. In her pursuit, she is forced between love and destiny and good and evil, even when the differences between them aren’t always clear. At worst, she will incite a war that could destroy both worlds. At best, she will not only lose her heart but her life and everyone she loves. Once the truth is out, however, there will be no going back. And she’ll definitely wish she could.
