Author Karlie Lucas has been here on this blog with us several times. I have enjoyed all of her books and I'm excited to feature her today during this countdown event!
A graduate of Southern Utah University, Karlie received a B.A. in Creative Writing, with a minor in art. She is a member of Sigma Tau Delta, The International English Honor Society, as well as ANWA, the American Night Writers Association.
Karlie is interested in all things magical and mysterious, especially elves and dragons. She is an avid fan of J.R.R. Tolkien and J.K. Rowling.
When not writing, Karlie can often be found drawing, baking, watching her favorite old school shows, or just spending time with her family.
She currently resides in Dallas, Texas with her husband and a cat named Kally

For
hundreds of years, the gates of Tarragon have been sealed from the outside.
Prophecy speaks of the day the last Key Keeper will return and wake the dragons
from their spell-cast slumber, returning them to their rightful home.
Seeking
to fulfill her father's dying wish, Anwen Porter travels to the Drakonii
Mountains where she meets Tyler, a mysterious local with a secret. With his
help, she learns more about her clouded past and her own abilities. But when
Courtney, a lovesick mage, tries to insert herself into their plans, things
begin to go horribly wrong.
With
death threatening at every turn, Anwen must learn to rely on her newfound
friends to survive. But how can she unravel the mystery of her heritage when
everything is trying to kill her?
Snippet
Courtney pounded up the stairs, almost tripping over a spike that protruded from the last stair. It took her a moment to spot her somewhat friend lying unconscious by the far window. Almost flying the last few feet, she knelt by Anwen's side, shaking her. “Hey, this isn't funny. Wake up.”
When the auburn-haired girl didn't respond, Courtney looked around with large eyes. "Tyler's going to kill me," she uttered, her voice changing pitch. "Come on, Anna. Please!"
The wind picked up, whipping her long hair and she moved to brush it aside. A dark shadow fell over both teens as Courtney turned back to the unconscious girl. It stretched up the wall like a menacing beast. Her heart thudded in her chest as she made to slowly turn around. Before she could so much as turn her shoulder, the shadow's owner was upon her.
“What did you do to her?" Tyler yelled as he thrust Courtney aside, using far more strength than he'd normally use on a mortal. His whole body shook with fury.
Courtney tumbled, then skid across the floor. She shivered in the corner where she landed, legs askew in front of her, her expression filled with shock. It took a moment for her to find her breath. For the briefest of seconds, she thought Tyler's eyes had changed color as he stared at her with anger-filled eyes.
