Protecting
humans is the Bringers’ duty. Sending demons to the Shadow World is their
pleasure.
In one
night, Ravyn’s life plunges from barely tolerable to deadly. Forced to flee the
only home she’s known, she stumbles headlong into the clutches of Icarus, a
powerful demon intent on stealing her powers. Unfortunately for him, she has no
intention of cooperating.
When Rhys
realizes the woman he’s rescued from the Bane Demon is no mere human, his
obligation as a Bringer dictates he protect and train her in the ways of his
people. But he’s unprepared for the intense desire he feels for the fiery
Ravyn. To surrender to his need may mean her death.
As the
Demon King’s desire for ultimate power escalates, fathers are slated against
sons, and foes are made allies. The Bane threat upon them, Rhys and Ravyn must
quest to unite the last of the Bringers—and explore a passion too powerful to
ignore.

Interview With Ravyn
I’ve had the semi-pleasure of interviewing Rhys, the hero of
the story, and Icarus, the uncooperative demon from Shield of Fire, but
I’m excited to be talking with Ravyn Mayfield, my heroine.
Boone: Ravyn,
it’s great to have you here. Finally I get a little girl talk with one of my
characters. I’ll admit, there’s a lot of testosterone in this book.
Ravyn: Lots. The
men don’t realize yet that women don’t always need a pair of big, strong arms
to protect them.
Boone: Speaking
of big, strong arms, have you seen the cover for Shield of Fire?
Ravyn: Oh yes.
I’m certain I’ll burn in the fires of The Abyss, but I keep it by my bed and
gaze at it when Rhys is out patrolling for the Demon Bane. Don’t tell the
Sisters at the abbey.
Boone: I won’t
tell if you don’t tell my husband I sometimes rub the book across my chest and
lick the cover.
Ravyn: Uh, that’s
rather disturbing.
Boone: And
painful when I get a paper cut on my tongue. So what was it like growing up in
an abbey?
Ravyn: Quiet—dark—did
I mention quiet?
Boone: Sounds
dead boring, except for that sadistic monk problem you had to dodge.
Ravyn: Brother
Powell, yes, he was quite the pain in my…
Boone: Oh, go
ahead and say it, ass. He was a huge pain in your ass.
Ravyn: Exactly.
Besides feeding my friend to the demon, he poxed me at every turn.
Boone: You kicked
his ass though.
Ravyn: I did,
didn’t I?
Boone: Seriously,
if we were in prison, I’d be your bitch.
Ravyn: That’s
really sweet…I think.
Boone: I got the
impression that Icarus had a thing for you.
Ravyn: I hate
that demon. He sucked the soul from my friend, which later in the book, well, I
can’t give it away, but let’s just say it had far reaching ramifications.
Boone: Boy,
that’s an understatement. But you have to admit, he’s good looking for a Bane.
He’s not at all like those filthy animals who hang out with the Demon King.
Ravyn: The only
way that demon would look good is if he had an immortal weapon sticking out of
his chest.
Boone: Curious,
Rhys basically said the same thing. So tell us about your powers.
Ravyn: Fire
mainly; shooting it, blasting things, sending demons back to the Shadow World
with a nice fireball. I can also see ghosts, have a respectable amount of
healing powers, and can tell things.
Boone: Tell
things?
Ravyn: Yes, I can
tell when something is true, or if a situation is safe. I can tell which
direction somebody has gone. I’m not able to read minds, just tell.
Boone: Because
you’re a full-blooded Bringer, right?
Ravyn: Well,
that’s a difficult question to answer. It’s not a simple yes or no. Besides, I
don’t want to spoil the ending.
Boone: Agreed.
Thanks so much for being with us today, Ravyn. Keep kicking Demon Bane ass and
searching for those immortal weapons.
Ravyn: Thanks for
having me. Oh, and if you wouldn’t mind, could you find a girlfriend for Luc,
Rhys’s best friend? He needs a good woman.
Boone: Already on
it.
Love it. RAvyn is a gal after my own heart. Love her spunkiness!
ReplyDeleteLOL!!! I love it! This is definitely a book I want on my to-read pile. Well not only because it seems like a book I'll love....but..... That cover is drool worthy! hehehe...I bet the papercuts are so worth it *winks*
ReplyDeleteThanks for the kind words. And the paper cuts were definitely worth it. I think I'll have a poster made and frame it. Then all I'll need to do is clean the glass.:)
