Get Lost in The Stones of Kaldaar with Tameri Etherton

Some say she’s the one of prophecy, that she’ll bring balance to the world. Others say she’s the destroyer, meant to bring an end to Aelinae. They’re both right.

Everything Taryn knew was a lie. Her life on Earth, the man she thought was her grandfather, even her age, were all fabrications meant to protect her, to keep her hidden until she could return to her home world. Once on Aelinae, Taryn realizes she has more to fear than the creeping darkness that threatens to suffocate her.

Unwilling to become a pawn in the machinations of her scheming family and the world she now calls home, Taryn sets out to learn about her mysterious powers. Reluctantly, she accepts the help of Rhoane, a man who promises to protect her, but whom she's not sure she can trust.

As tensions mount and her loved ones are threatened, Taryn must confront an ancient enemy and stop a sinister plan to bring back a banished god.

On Aelinae they say there can be no Light without Dark and no darkness without light. If Taryn fails, there will be only Blackness. Absolute. Binding. Without end.

Failure is simply not an option.

An Excerpt from The Stones of Kaldaar:

Even as she said the words, a memory drifted in her thoughts. She saw Rhoane as he was, young and handsome, with brown curls falling over his face as if he were bending over something. Fear edged his eyes. He whispered words in his mystical language and then kissed the pendant before placing it around her neck.

“You! You gave it to me.” She rubbed her forehead, trying to recall the details. “It was here, I think. In the cavern? Brandt was there.” She paused, letting the memory unfold. “And Nadra. We were in a hurry. You,” she met his eyes and saw in them the same lingering fear, “you were worried about us. About me.” It was as if the fragments of memory that haunted her as a child coalesced into coherence at last. “I remember you.”

Rhoane raised a hand toward her, but stopped midair before dropping it to his side. “Darennsai.” The word was nothing more than a whisper. “You were so young.”

Rocker of sparkly tiaras, friend of dragons, and lover of all things sexy, Tameri Etherton leaves a trail of glitter in her wake as she creates and conquers new worlds and the villains who inhabit them. When not masquerading as a mom and writer, rumor has it she travels to far off places, drinking tea and finding inspiration for her kickass heroines—and the rogues who steal their hearts—with her own Prince Charming by her side.

Jillian: How often to you get lost in a story?
Tameri: Everytime the story is so good that I don’t want to return to ‘the real world’. I’ve been known to ignore laundry, cooking, even my family when I get well and truly lost in a story. I have no regrets!

Jillian: What’s your favorite “love” word? 

Tameri: Hmmm, intriguing question. There are so many love words, but two that come to mind are ‘adore’ and ‘cherish’. Similar, yet different words that evoke a sense of fullness in my heart. My favorite word of all time is ‘hope’. Without hope, there is nothing.

Jillian: What’s your favorite fairy tale?

Tameri: The one that ends with a happily ever after.

Jillian: What turns you off like nothing else? 

Tameri: Hate. The world is too precious to waste on something so ugly and useless.

Jillian: Describe your favorite kind of hero to read/write? 

Tameri: I adore a good strong hero. Not necessarily an Alpha who rushes in to fix everything, but an intelligent and perhaps a bit aloof guy who will sit back and take stock of the situation before annihilating his enemy.

Jillian: What was the first story you remember writing? 

Tameri: It was this insane epic poem about these children who lived in a forest. I can’t find it now, but I remember thinking at the time that it was brilliant. I was 8. Everything at 8 is brilliant, right?

Jillian: Tea or Coffee? And how do you take it? 

Tameri: Tea! Usually black, but I like cream and honey with Earl Grey (and some madeleines). Loose leaf preferably, but right now I’m mad about Harney and Son’s Hot Cinnamon Spice. It’s so good.

Jillian: What color would you make the sky if it wasn’t going to be blue anymore and why?

Tameri: Pink and sparkly! 

Jillian: …with dragons, maybe? :)
