Taken, Paperback

"The second volume of the Blood of the Chosen series was even more thrilling than expected. Mercy grows bolder and more powerful. An exciting, fast-paced paranormal romance that won't disappoint."

Laura M. Morales, editor of The Zorah Series

Mercy sacrificed her heart for the greater good. But love may be stronger than any spell she could conjure.

It's been a year since Mercy came into her power as the Spirit Element. The vampires are back to killing innocents, and she recognizes Maurice's handiwork. He's sending a message that it's not over between him and her.

On the hunt for a killer, she comes face to face with a dangerous new clan led by none other than her father from her past life. He brings with him long-buried, dark secrets. Is he still the same father from her memories, or is something sinister at play?

Meanwhile, her heart is tugging back to her former love, Dorian, despite her spell. But duty comes before love, and she's honor-bound to finish the mission she started. Even if it means pushing Dorian away.

Mercy needs an army. She needs to build up a force strong enough to finally vanquish the vampires for good. But with all these distractions, she's dangerously unfocused as lust and desire fight through the spell, awakening the love she once had for Dorian.

With new players in this game of cat and mouse, Mercy will have to act quickly to put an end to Maurice's plan, or she will lose everyone she loves in the coming bloodshed.
