The Other Key

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The enchanted golden key recognizes her destined mate, but her heart says it has the wrong male. A year has passed since Zoe Lawson used her enchanted key to cross into the fae world of Ecromos to receive a cure for her cancer, knowing she would never be able to return home. After receiving that cure, rumors claimed she would spend the rest of her life with a fated mate, bringing new life to a dying species. The reality, however, was quite different. Zoe had no idea that, when she left the human world, she would be captured by a fae nobleman who traded human women for breeding and sexual slavery. In such a world with too few females, she wasn't the only human woman who'd been stolen for such purposes, and she knew she wouldn't be the last. That is, until she met Elianna. As a cancer patient herself, Zoe's new friend's magical cure swung the pendulum in her favor, making freedom a possibility none of the enslaved women could have imagined. When Zoe and her friend escape the lord who'd enslaved them, they seek freedom in another court, protected by Elianna's newly found mate and a family of fae males. Zoe's key tells her that her mate is searching for her. However, with Cailean by her side, she is not sure if the enchanted key has the right male. As Zoe plans to return and free the other human women, danger lurks from those searching for them, and her heart battles against her key. Will Zoe and her friends be able to find enough allies to help them free their friends from a court where they are being hunted? In the meantime, will Zoe listen to her key, the only thing that can lead her to her destined mate, or will she abandon it entirely out of love for another?

Autorenporträt

C. A. Varian was raised in Lockport, Louisiana, into an often-low-income household. She spent a lot of her childhood fishing, crabbing, and playing school. She loved pretending to be the teacher and assigning work to her cousins. Her love of reading started very young, where she used to complete several books per week in elementary school so she could earn a free personal pizza from Pizza Hut. Even once free pizzas were no longer an option, she still steadily read novels, usually above the reading level for her age group, and loved visiting the library to stock up on books. She started writing poetry and short stories while still in junior high through high school, although she stopped writing, at least for fun, once she had children and went to college. Thankfully, her writing hiatus ended, and she resumed her love for writing.She earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in History, as well as a Master's degree in History. She also worked towards getting her teaching certification. She did almost all of her college education while also being the mother of two children. After graduating from college, she began teaching public school, a career that she continues to this day, currently teaching special education at a local middle school. She's married to a retired military officer, so she spent many years moving around for his career, but they now live in central Alabama, with her youngest daughter, Arianna. Her oldest daughter, Brianna, no longer lives at home and is engaged to be married. She has two Shih Tzus that she considers her children. Boy, Charlie, and girl, Luna, are their mommy's shadows. She also has three cats: Ramses, Simba, and Cookie, as well as five chickens and two ducks.
