Gabriel moves through the dark, vacant of his body and yet somehow still tethered to it. If only the shadows will part so he can see. There is something he is supposed to be doing. Someone he is supposed to be looking for. Someone that needs him.
Rose.
Her name echoes through the dark, taunting him as he races ahead. His hands splay before him, desperately searching for a door that will lead him into the light. It has to be here, somewhere.
The pain from his wounds receded long ago. How long? He cannot remember. Time is meaningless here. Wherever here is.
Gabriel stops and listens. He can hear something. The sound is muffled but it sounds like a girl is crying.
No. Please don’t cry.
He wants to console her, to tell her that he is okay, but she can’t hear him.
Rose?
Yes. It is her. He is sure of it. Even her heart-wrenching sobs are delightful to his ears. He thought he would never see her again. And now he has found her—at last.
The sound changes. Something is happening. Oh, why can’t he see her?
“I’m so sorry, my love.”
Wait. What’s wrong? There’s nothing to be sorry for.
Gabriel whirls around and around, searching for her, but there is only darkness.
Rose!
His nose prickles. Something smells sweet. His mouth waters as saliva swirls in his mouth. What is that smell?
Gabriel feels something different. He can feel his body. Not the body that is trapped in this hell dimension. His real body. Real flesh and blood. Probably more flesh than blood now.
Something presses against his mouth. He fights to move his lips, to loosen his frozen tongue, but nothing happens. Then something wonderful drips into his mouth, oozing down the ridge of his tongue. He can hear Roseline’s voice whispering an enchanting language. He feels a stirring in his soul.
The blood burns a trail down his throat, winding its fiery tendrils all the way to his belly. The warmth spreads, searing his skin as it shoots through his veins, into the recesses of his body. His toes begin to tingle. His fingers cramp, aching to move. Gabriel’s mind whirls into action, frantically struggling to comprehend the changes in his body.
And then…the pain begins.

Reckoning
Gabriel is gone.
Roseline is left with questions that refuse answers and only the memory of a man she vows to hunt and kill. But to do so, she must call a truce with her sworn enemy.
Together, Roseline and Nicolae track Fane to the underbelly of London, in search of Gabriel’s kidnappers. But when Malachi—an immortal with mystifying origin—presents himself as their guide, Roseline discovers she is not the only one looking for Gabriel.
Buried within the secret chambers of the infamous Hellfire Club, Roseline discovers a grim truth: Gabriel isn’t just a pawn being used by the Arotas prophecy, and those who seek to control its power. He is Arotas.
Everything Roseline has ever known about her brethren is about to change. Emotions flare, friendships sever, and the newly formed bonds between enemies are tested as she delves into realms hardly conceived. They are trapped in the midst of a battle that has been waging since the beginning of time.
The prophecy binds them all together. But will they break before the end?

About The Author
Author Amy Miles has always been a bit of a dreamer. Growing up as an only child, and a military brat to boot, she spent countless hours escaping into the pages of a book, only to spend the following days creating a new idea of how to twist up the story to make it unique.
Since becoming a mother, Amy has slowly nourished her love of the written word while snatching writing time in the midst of soiled diapers, tumbling over Legos and peering around mounds of laundry and dishes that never seem to go away. Once her only son started school, Amy was free to let her fingers dive into dark mythology, tales of betrayal and love, and explore human nature in its rawest form. Her love of seeing the world from a different angle bloomed.
Amy is the author of several novels, including her popular young adult immortal books, The Arotas Series, which are an Amazon and iBooks bestselling series. Unwilling to be defined by any one genre, she proceeded to flip over to a science fiction/fantasy based idea with her Rising Trilogy. She then dove into contemporary romance with her novel, Captivate and explored the depths of her own faith with In Your Embrace.
She is currently working on completing her Immortal Rose trilogy, a prequel to her Arotas novels. She has also embarked on two new journeys this year, one in the form of a co-written banshee trilogy, The Hallowed Realms, which is currently represented by GH Literary and she breached another genre with her upcoming adult horror novel, Wither.
