After spending the last four years trapped in a place of monsters, demons, and magick, the last thing the fierce teenage bounty hunter Greta expected was to ever be back on Earth. But a rare opportunity gives her and the Goblin King Isaac the opportunity to do just that. Now she’s home. With a boy in tow. And her parents have lots of questions.
Although Greta finally has her heart’s deepest wish—to see her family again—every step she takes to reconnect with them drives her further away from Isaac. Greta and Isaac planned for her to return to Mylena and become his queen, but she’s not sure if she can go back to that harsh world, though staying on Earth means giving up the boy she loves.
But a powerful enemy refuses to let Greta escape. A demon who will stop at nothing to destroy her and everything she loves. Even if it means following her to Earth and forcing her to face a fate as unavoidable as love itself.
EXCERPT
The
streetlamps cast soft cones of light on the sidewalks all the way through the
neighborhood. Greta pointed things out as she remembered them. “That’s where my
friend Danielle used to live. I guess she probably still lives there.”
“Are
you looking forward to seeing her again?”
She
nodded. “And if I remember correctly, she’s more hyper than a Mylean
berserker—only less ripping and tearing, and more frenzied hugging and constant
talking.”
The
rumble of his amused chuckle made her grin. He squeezed her hand. She looked up
at him, and it hit her. “You know, this is kind of like a date,” she said,
tingles of awareness dancing up her spine.
His
smile was crooked, and his eyes warm as he laid his arm across her shoulders,
making her feel like he would rather be here with her right now than anywhere
else. It probably wasn’t true. They were both too worried about Mylena for it
to ever leave their minds completely, but maybe one day it would be true.
“What
would be the purpose of a date?” There was such a thing as courtship in Mylena,
but she and Isaac had pretty much bypassed anything resembling normal…in both
worlds.
What if
she was wrong and the portal didn’t open again? What if they stayed here? There
could be more nights just like this, and eventually maybe they would get a
place of their own and… “You know, so a couple can get to know one another and
decide if they like each other.”
“But we
already know we like each other.” When they were alone like this and his voice
softened because he trusted her enough to let down his guard, it did crazy
things to her. Like popping candy hitting her bloodstream. “Even more
important, we know that we fit together. In battle together, or planning for
Mylena’s future, even while arguing…and definitely when I kiss you…nobody fits
me like you do.”
Chloe Jacobs is a native of nowhere and everywhere, having jumped around to practically every Province of Canada before finally settling in Ontario where she has now been living for a respectable number of years.Her husband and son are the two best people in the entire world, but they also make her wish she’d at least gotten a female cat. No such luck. And although the day job keeps her busy, she carves out as much time as possible to write.
Bringing new characters to life and finding out what makes them tick and how badly she can make them suffer is one of her greatest pleasures, almost better than chocolate and fuzzy pink bunny slippers.

What an awesome giveaway. The book sounds awesome!
Can't get to the You Tube link because the whole addy needs to be on one line or it won't work. All I keep getting is: This channel does not exist.
I have yet to read the Myelena Chronicles. Looking forward to it. I liked the most recent movie version of Cinderella.
Youtube link does not seem to work.
My favorite fairy tale retelling is Ever After.
My favorite fairy tale is anything to do with Cinderella. There's so mandy different versions, it's hard to choose one.
Thanks so much for joining the Greta and the Lost Army blog tour, Cremona!
