Dark and Defiant by Alyssa Rose

A darkness beckons… A yearning intensifies…   Ageless prophecies. An ancient evil that looms. A love put to the test.   Captured and hurt, Aironell is stuck underground in a magical prison where she wants nothing more than to escape, but does she want Drefan to find her? A war rages within, as she struggles with her desire and disappointment over Drefan, the secrets she learns, and a mysterious voice that calls to her with promises of safety. But can the dark voice be trusted?   Drefan wants to maintain order in the DarkFlower Jungle, but his growing concern for Aironell intrudes on his mind and heart more than he thought possible. He journeys to the Fates in search of a magical object to keep his people assured and even save Aironell from the scheming plot of those who wish to throw the jungle into chaos. Will Drefan and Aironell survive the secrets and dangers set before them? Will success keep the ancient Darkness at bay?   Dark and Defiant is the deliciously dark second novella in The DarkFlower Jungle Saga for 18+. If you love danger, fated mates, headstrong characters, magical quests, riddles that could kill, who did this to you, and spice; then you’ll be begging for more.
