Survival is not enough. Alliances will be formed, loyalties tested, and a choice made.
My name is Juliet Wildfire Stone, and like it or not, the fate of Earth rests in my hands. When I finally met the Prime Elector, he was nothing like I expected. He was supposed to be our mortal enemy, a monster I needed to destroy to fulfill my destiny, yet he was nothing like that.
Now, the Chosen are caught in the middle of a conflict between two ancient foes, one that threatens to rip Earth apart. As the Alpha Chosen, I must do what is right at all costs. I’d better... or the people of Earth will be enslaved for all time.

Summoned like a pet. What did I do now?
I trudge to the sanctuary, my legs heavy. I’d rather be anywhere else. A trip to my father’s private refuge can only mean one thing—bad news.
The last time was the worst. My father sat in his chair, his face as expressive as a stone mask when he informed me that my mother had died in an accident while traveling. He acted as if he were simply relaying the latest news, nothing more important than the weather. Before the information could sink in, he dismissed me with a wave of his hand and turned back to whatever super-secret, critically vital, all-consuming task he needed to attend to at that moment.
Of course she was traveling. She had to get away from him!
I stop at the edge of a steep canyon that circles the sanctuary—like a moat. Created from pure Alphian crystal, the round building glows in the silky darkness. I used to think that the sanctuary floated in the air, but in the daylight you can see how it stands on a thin natural rock formation that rises from the planet’s core like a pedestal.
I sit at the edge with my feet hanging over the side and sigh. He knows I’m here, but he wants me to wait. He always wants me to wait.
To pass the time, I construct long lists of how I’ve disappointed him; everything from failing to be first in my pre-school class to my reluctance to pass all my tests on his timeframe. By the time I’m reasonably certain I’ve included everything, I remember to straighten my back and lift my head high. At least I can feign confidence. After all, I’m no longer a boy.
A reddish energy bridge appears before me that spans the gulf to the sanctuary. Only my father can conjure energy strong enough to use as a bridge.
For a second I consider turning away, but that would be cowardly.

Author review: The translation itself was almost perfect, and the formatting issues (a constant problem with most translators) were actually quite minor and easy to fix. We would strongly recommend Andrea to anyone needing a Spanish translator. It also helps that her attitude and professionalism are so strong. A pleasure to work with. |
