In the Tower of the Wizard King
by Michelle Miles
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: Fantasy (epic)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
In the Age of Wizards, Time is a
commodity more valuable than gold. When Aoife (EE-fa) stumbles upon an antique
trunk in the attic, it calls to her with an ancient magic. Inside she finds a
stairway leading into darkness and cannot resist stepping onto that first
stair. It leads her to dark truths her mother never wanted her to uncover and
love so powerful she walks through time to save it.
Her magic is dormant.
When Aoife Burke rushes home after
the unexpected death of her father, she discovers her mother has vanished
amidst inexplicable circumstances. She returns to her childhood home to search
for clues of her mother’s whereabouts but another shock awaits her. Sean
O’Connell, the object of her girlhood crush, has purchased the family home. She
senses Sean is hiding something from her, refuses to let her inside and does
everything he can to keep her out. A determined Aoife breaks inside and stumbles
upon an antique trunk in the attic. When she opens it, instead of the normal
musty clothes and ancient letters, she finds a stairway leading into darkness.
It calls to her and she cannot resist stepping into the trunk and onto that
first stair where it leads her to magical truths her mother never wanted her to
discover.
His magic is dangerous.
Sean O’Connell has been assigned by
the Inter-dimensional Portal Protection Agency to keep Aoife and her mother out
of Faery. But when she breaks into the house and disappears through the portal
in the trunk—like her mother—he has no choice but to follow her, even though
stepping into Faery will force him to face his past. Keeping her safe and out
of the hands of the Wizard King also becomes a fight to save Aoife’s life from
her own mother, who has discovered a time portal in Faery leading her back in
time to alter her past mistakes, putting Aoife’s life in peril. Sean is willing
to do anything to make sure she’s safe. Even if it means he has to tap into his
dangerous magic to do it.

EXCERPT:
An
incessant buzzing pulled Aoife Burke out of a dreamy, heavenly sleep. Her hand
fumbled on the nightstand trying to silence the thing when a pillow crashed
against her face, jarring her from half-asleep to fully awake.
“Make
that phone stop already,” her dorm roommate growled. “It’s been going crazy for
the last ten minutes.”
Still
groggy and trying to wipe the sleep from her eyes, Aoife dropped the pillow to
the floor and yanked the cell phone off the charger as it stopped buzzing. When
the small screen lit up, she had four missed calls. All from her mother.
Her
mother never called her, so to have four missed calls meant something terrible
had happened.
She
snapped to a sitting position, her fingers fumbling on the screen as she tried
to get to the missed calls screen when it started to buzz again. She swiped the
screen and answered.
“Mom?”
“Aoife,
there you are at last. I’ve called to let you know that your father passed
away.” Fiona’s even tone held no emotion whatsoever.
Aoife
blinked, a sudden sickness piercing through her gut as her hand tightened on
the phone. She hiccupped a breath and forced her mind to remember to inhale,
exhale. “What do you mean he passed away? He’s dead?”

AUTHOR Bio and Links:
Michelle
Miles grew up in North Central Texas in a rodeo town but was far more
interested in nerdy things like Star Trek and Star Wars. She started writing
fan fiction in high school. When being an archeologist like Indiana Jones or a
Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader didn't work out, she decided writing was her gig and
has wanted to write her own stories ever since.
Her
love of romance started when she picked up Victoria Holt and Daphne du Maurier
and was immediately smitten with the genre. But she also found another love in
the fantasies of Patricia A. McKillip and Anne McCaffrey. Since she couldn’t
decide which genre to pick—and because she’s a true Gemini—she decided it would
be super fun to write contemporary and fantasy romance. She is a member of
Romance Writers of America and has served on the board of several chapters as
president and treasurer.
In
her spare time, she enjoys listening to music, reading, cross-stitching and
watching movies. A Native Texan, she loves castle, dragons, fairies and elves
and is an avid Game of Thrones fan. She can be found online at Facebook,
Twitter, Pinterest and Goodreads.
