The Scarlett Legacy (17 page)
THE SWEET SMELL
of hydrangeas filled Evie’s nostrils. It was the best smell in the world.
She carried the bouquet at chest height, her hands tightly gripping it as if someone might run up and steal them from her.
She’d be ready for them. No one would steal her happiness ever again.
Nothing was better than seeing Parker standing at the altar.
Was she dreaming?
Her smile felt as though it took over her entire face.
All that Evie and Parker had endured together.
All of the years they had spent falling in love with each other.
It led to that moment.
Wes gave her hand a pat as he led her down the aisle. She beamed at him, giving him a peck on the cheek as they made their way along the white rose petals that led to Parker.
Everyone that loved her was there. Quinn grinned from her spot at the altar as her maid-of-honor. Olivia stood right behind her in matching lavender gowns.
Parker’s parents watched with delight from the front row.
Adelaide watched from the front row across from them. Tears streamed her face, and she didn’t even care to wipe them away.
A spring wedding in Paris.
This is what Evie had been waiting for all of her life.
Wes kissed her cheek and stepped away to stand behind Parker’s brother, cousin, and best friend.
Evie stood before Parker, her heart full of so much love that it spilled forth in the form of tears.
He reached for her hands, taking them into his own.
“We did it,” he said to her in a whisper.
She nodded. “We did.”
No one else existed at that moment. The priest waited for them, respecting the gravity of that moment.
A tear escaped Parker’s eye. “I’m never letting you go.”
Evie smiled through tears, and nodded. “I know,” she said. “This is
not
a dream.”

Six races. Four realms. One human girl who can bring them together in peace… or war.
Lilae has been hunted since the night of her birth, for she is heir to a god’s throne. But everything that her surrogate family has done to protect her may have been for nothing. After Lilae is stripped of her powers and enslaved by the emperor of the Mithrani, she finds herself desperate to survive in a strange new world.
On the other side of the world, Liam leads his army across the realm to protect the Tryans and the fairies from those who would do them harm. But when their odds of survival become next to impossible, he must set out on a journey to find a dragon, a child, and the blessing of a fallen god to aid him in the inevitable realm war.
The path forward for both Liam and Lilae seems clear, until their dreamscapes collide. But while they draw strength from their connection, Lilae may be falling for the emperor who should be her greatest enemy.
