A Harmony of Hearts: Reverse Harem Siren Romance (Spellsinger Book 3) Read online

  Cerberus signed up for the jaunt into Primeval too, but he's been busy with Freya and has only visited Kyanite once, so far. He was impressed but also a little peeved. A queen didn't have to work, which meant that his cash cow had just dried up. But Cer was my friend first, and he was happy for me; for my new status, my new lovers, and my continued existence.

  And I was happy as well; happier than I'd ever been. What had started as a curse, had transformed into a blessing. The Rooster Spell forced me to find love, but then it bound that love together and made all of us stronger. Our hearts were in harmony now, and nothing was going to stop our song.

  Primeval Prelude

  Now available on Amazon

  Chapter One

  “It's just a forest,” I muttered to myself. “It's not going to eat you, Elaria.”

  “It might,” Torin said grimly from beside me.

  We were lined up in front of Primeval, with armies of shining ones, witches, blooders, and griffins at our back. All of us intent on finding one woman who had tried to hurt us. And all because her husband was an asshole who had made magic grenades. I couldn't even justify why we were going through so much trouble for one woman who was probably already dead. But, Eileen had been a Shining One queen, and she had a better chance of surviving the forest than others. And we wanted to be sure the bitch was dead.

  “Never leave your enemies breathing,” I whispered.

  “Harsh,” Declan noted.

  “It was something my Aunt Adelaid used to say.”

  “Ah.” Declan nodded in understanding. He'd met Aunt Addy, so he knew firsthand how typical it was of her.

  The one group I hadn't invited to the party was the spellsingers. There was such a thing as overkill, and when more than one spellsinger came to a battle, things weren't just killed, they were decimated. I didn't want to destroy Primeval. It wasn't the Lesser Fey's fault that Eileen had chosen their home as her hideout.

  I looked at my lovers—all four of them—and then to my best friend, Cerberus. The ex-Hound of Hades smirked at me and waggled his brows. It was time to get started, no more dithering about the edge of the forest. I stepped forward, and the men went with me, including Odin, witch elder and also a close friend of mine. He was there to lead the witches. Gage, my griffin mate, led the griffins, while Banning, my blooder (vampire) boyfriend led his gura, and Declan, Torin, and I led our shining ones. I wasn't a Shining One, I was a spellsinger, but through chance and a little fate, I had become the Queen of Kyanite.

  Our troops fell into line behind us. We hadn't brought horses, not even for the trip there. This was for two reasons; Kyanite Castle was close enough to walk the distance, and Primeval wasn't horse-friendly. We'd get further on foot.

  Even though my group led, we had scouts who ran ahead of us; shining ones who knew the Primeval better than the rest of us. These were daring men and women who had wandered the woods alone, after seeking permission to enter. We had also asked for permission; a long process that involved several signals being placed out prominently before the treeline. Three lesser fairies had answered our petitions, and—after negotiating terms—had granted us access.

  However, that access didn't come with information or a guide. The leaders called themselves the Trinity of Strength; Physical Strength represented by the redcap leader—Caorall, Mental Strength was led by a dryad named Eimhir, and Spiritual Strength was ruled by a leanan-sidhe called Ceanag. They were standoffish but respectful and had outright refused to answer when we had asked if they had seen Eileen. They had also limited us to bringing only fifteen soldiers from each race wit us, which meant that Torin, Declan, and I could only bring five knights apiece. Our entire force was only sixty-six strong.

  I didn't know the kyanite fairies well enough to trust them as Declan and Torin did their men, and I almost gave them my number. But then I had volunteers, and I thought to myself; What better way was there to get closer to my kyanite knights than to take them with me into the scariest place in Tír na nÓg? If they were brave enough to volunteer, then I wanted them with me.

  The Lesser Fey leaders weren't there to meet us—their permission didn't include protection either—but at least we wouldn't be attacked as soon as we stepped foot past their boundaries... we hoped.

  Yes; the first few steps into the Primeval were the hardest, even with our scouts waving us forward. The sun was shining brightly over the Kyanite Kingdom, and over Primeval too, but it barely penetrated the thick leaf-cover the enormous trees provided. Think redwoods times ten. I'd never seen such gigantic trees.

  And they talked.

  Not in the way that people talked, but the creaks and clicks one would normally hear in a forest were much too rhythmic and patterned in Primeval to be natural. It was code; Primeval's version of sonar or maybe Morse. And it was really fucking creepy. I started humming, like I do when I get nervous, and the little piece of kyanite in my throat pulsed with magic in response. I took a deep breath and calmed myself. It was just trees.

  And that was when they grabbed me.
