The world has
broken out in wars. Las Vegas has been ravaged by chemical warfare and is now
home to several clans and creatures.
Welcome to I-D-8
Entertainment’s newest game: Clans of Vegas—Endless Night.
Friends and
family have gathered for a crunch time playtest of C.O.V.E.N.. When a horrible thunderstorm hits,
everyone’s sucked into the game for real. In the MMORPG, Hope Collins is
kidnapped by Buzz and forced to submit to his whims. Her boyfriend, Alden, has
to delay his quest of defeating a clan’s prince to save her, but time and
circumstance don’t seem to be on his side. Faith Collins is bombarded by
strange dreams brought on by Buzz. Her boyfriend, Tavis, learns to dream walk,
but can he help break the spell she’s under and save her before she’s lost to
him?
C.O.V.E.N. is more than
just a game. It’s a whole other world.
~ Excerpt ~
Once
the door clicked shut, she spun around to face the newcomer. “I hope you don’t
think you’re going to take advantage of me like that guy’s been doing.” She
pointed at the door, then put her hands on her hips.
Dolon
shook his head. The light golden brown hair not covered by the mask cascaded
down his head to his neck in long layered, shagged cuts and swayed with the movement.
Eyes behind the semi-transparent glassy beads, over a sun-bronzed body, stared
at her.
“Zya,”
he whispered.
She
tilted her head, recognizing the name. Yes, her voice cried. “Yes, I
suppose so. Do I know you?”
He
approached her, and the air around them sizzled with an underlying current of
passion. Her heart fluttered in her chest. He removed the mask and held it in
the crook of his arm. She stared at the ruggedly handsome man as he fluffed the
matted locks of hair on his head. He looked familiar, but she couldn’t place
from where she knew him. His dark green eyes looked into hers and, though it
was only for a fleeting moment, she felt as if she had stared into those eyes
for ages.
“You
did once,” he whispered.
“Excuse
me?” She stiffened, not realizing she had spoken her thoughts until he replied.
“You
said you felt as if you had stared into my eyes for ages. I said yes. You had,
once upon a time.” He placed his free hand on her shoulder. “No harm has come
to you here, has it?”
“Nah.
Mabuz, as you call him, can be a bit, umm, overzealous at times, but I’m all
right. Why do you ask?”
“Because
I lo—”
“Dolon,”
Mabuz’s bellow from the hall cut off his reply.
“Beautiful
Zya. I must go for now.” He pecked the side of her cheek. “Tell no one I spoke
to you. I will come again. All will be revealed.”
She
bobbed her head, having an immediate trust in him. The twinkle in his eye
roused a kernel of a memory in her, but the thought of the place or time where
she had known him was so fleeting she couldn’t sustain the recollection.
Once
more his name was yelled in the hall but closer. He put the mask on and hurried
from the room.
A
spurt of ardent desire for the man she just met dashed through her. She wished
he could have stayed in her presence. Dolon emanated an energy that drew her
like a bear to honey. She craved more of him, more contact than that brief
touch of his hand upon her shoulder.
