Saoirse Saga 2: Awakening Defiance

Amazon.com reviewers say:

'What an absolute cracking follow up to Stars and Ashes and although I suspected this would end part cliff hanger I'm not upset. A pretty much full story in itself it was pacy, exciting, humorous and thoroughly enjoyable. Roll on book three, can't wait.' - Stephen Walton

'Now entrenched in the heir's personal guard, can Kia manage to kill him? Following on from book one, this book continues the saga. Again, loads of action and a bit of romance.' - Ken Robson

'Great read! I definitely recommend reading book one first. I loved the character development and emotion in this book. Lots of action and plot twists that keep you engaged the entire time. Kia is a thoughtful and well-planned lead. I liked watching her growth and her determination.' - Jaclyn679

Kia wants more than survival. She wants vengeance and her freedom.

Kia has joined Lord Rial's elite guard and is collecting secrets. Secrets that can get her killed. The pretense of being Rial's consort offers some protection, but neither of them trusts the other. When the chance for retribution on her father's betrayers comes, she takes it.

But there is a price to pay. Her feelings toward Rial change, and Kia is shocked when she discovers the emperor's schemes include experiments on his son. If her ambition to destroy the emperor is to succeed, she must rescue Rial. But are her desperate last-minute plans enough to save him?

Chapter One: Changed Circumstances

The spray of cold water on her face shocked Kia into wakefulness. She blinked. Where was she? A series of images flashed before her in quick succession: a rosy dawn limning the sky and her father slumping to the ground with a hole in his forehead; an explosion in the darkness of Jahanamu's asteroid mine; standing elated before Rial and his Chenjerai elite guards uttering vows and swearing her life away in service to him as she was accepted into their ranks. Yes, she remembered where she was—in the bed of Lord Rial, Heir to the Nadil-Kuradi Empire.

She tried to sit up, but someone had poured a large bucket of wet sand inside her skull, and she fell back. The bed was soft, softer than any she could remember sleeping on. Someone dribbled a bitter substance into her mouth. "Ugh." She attempted to turn aside, to spit it out and prevent more of the nasty stuff sliding down her throat, but the firm hand pressing on her forehead foiled her efforts.

She cracked her eyelids open, doing her best to limit the amount of bright sunlight making a full frontal assault on her eyeballs, to find Rial a few inches away.
