SPOTLIGHT: Fires of Stone (Children of Terra, #2) / Annika Brynley

Fires of Stone, the second book in Annika Brynley's sci-fi/fantasy romance series, Children of Terra, is now out! While it's technically the sequel to The Love Beneath (which I reviewed), it can be read as a standalone. In fact, I got a sneak peek at the manuscript, so I read it before I read The Love Beneath and liked it plenty on its own. Anyway, check it out!

BOOK DESCRIPTION 

Within twenty-four hours of coming to the surface as a part of an exploratory team, Caitlin is kidnapped and given into servitude as a bride price. Though the warrior who receives her inspires unease and frustration, she finds herself strangely drawn to him. Although she assumed him nothing more than a barbarian, she soon finds there is more to him than she had thought. She has never known a man like Draken—both a barbarian and yet thoughtful in ways she never expected. She is torn between escaping this strange world and giving into her desire for him. 

As leader of his people, Draken will do anything to protect those under his care, even if it means promising himself to a woman he does not love. Breaking the alliance would lead to a blood feud, yet his desire for Caitlin puts everything he holds dear in jeopardy. He decides to sacrifice his heart for his honor, but then Caitlin is bitten by a poisonous animal. Now he will do everything in his power, risk everything to save her. And hope it’s not too late…
