Today on The Shadow Portal, Deborah Jay reveals the cover for her upcoming fantasy novel, Desprite Measures.
Title: Desprite
Measures
Author: Deborah Jay
Expected Release Day: 13th
December 2013
Genre: Urban Fantasy
Synopsis:
On
the surface she's a cute and feisty blonde, a slender pocket rocket fitness
coach. But Cassiopeia Lake has a secret; she's really a force of nature – an
elemental.
Water
sprite, Cassie, has lived undisturbed in her native Scottish loch for eons. Now,
one encounter too many with modern plumbing has driven her to live in human
guise along with her selkie boyfriend, Euan. It’s all going fine - until a
nerdy magician captures Cassie to be an unwilling component in his crazy
dangerous experiment.
Escape
is only Cassie’s first challenge.
She’s
smitten by her fellow prisoner, the scorching hot fire elemental, Gloria. But
how do you love someone you can never touch?
And
what do you do when your boyfriend starts to hero-worship your persecutor? Not
to mention that tricky situation of being the prize in a power contest between
two rival covens of witches.
So
when Gloria’s temper erupts and she sets out to murder the magician, can Cassie
keep her loved ones safe from the cross-fire, or will she be sucked into the
maelstrom of deadly desires and sink without trace?
Cassie learns the hard way that friendship depends on truth,
and that love and lust are not the same.
