Of Silver and Beasts
by Trisha Wolfe
Release Date: April 19th 2013
New Adult Fantasy
Summary from Goodreads:
In the sand-covered queendom of Cavan, the goddess once saved a young Kaliope’s life, preventing the mercury her father attempted to hide in her blood from reaching her heart. Now, a cybernetic clamp filters it, but the silver streaks swirling faintly beneath her skin are a constant reminder that she’s different.
When nineteen-year-old Kaliope is chosen as head of the Nactue Guard, she becomes the sworn protector to her empress. In the midst of an invasion on a neighboring land, Kaliope is placed in charge of guarding Prince Caben, the last heir to his kingdom. But when they’re attacked by the feared Otherworlders, Caben and Kaliope are abducted and taken below to a realm where they must fight for their life in a caged arena.
Kaliope struggles to protect her princely charge, keeping him and herself alive while battling inhumanly opponents, and trying to save the stolen, sacred relic that will restore her empress’s life force and all of Cavan. And if she can somehow awaken the goddess within her, she may save what’s most important.

EXCERPT
I drag my gaze away from Caben and
look at Cannon as he moves to the center of the Cage. His biceps bulge, like
two cannon balls have been implanted beneath his skin. For all I know, they
have been. The rings leaders are sick enough to do just that.
He
roars and smacks his fist into his palm. Then he barrels toward me.
His
face shifts back and forth quickly as he runs, shaking in my line of vision.
Suddenly his face is my father’s. It flashes before me in an instant, followed
by an image of Van falling to the ground. Willa’s lifeless form. Lilly. My
mother. Caben. The images seize my mind and a deep laugh rolls inside of my
head.
Kill him.
I
shake my head and lunge out of Cannon’s path. He swipes the air. Rolling out of
range of his stomp, I get to my knees and latch on to his ankle. I twist, and
he falls backward. He hits the ground hard, the dirt kicking up around him.
I
tamp down the throaty voice in my head urging me to end his life. I thought it
was the madness of the Otherworld invading my senses, but I know the truth. I’m
standing atop Bale’s grave. The conduit running through my veins calls to her.
I can hear her; feel her presence—her darkness. She’s not entered my mind; not
able to hear my thoughts—the dark priest would have shut down our scheme if
so—but I’m tired of hearing her voice. Tired of her madness pressing me.
The rage drumming though me after
watching yet another of my Nactue die desires to end this beast trying to kill
me now, but I have to remember who I am.
What
I vowed.
To
protect and serve those I care for.
Not
to end lives for a blood sport—a dark goddess.

Summary from Goodreads:
The moon goddess has taken up residency within Prince Caben, darkening his mind and soul. Now he hunts the very women he sacrificed his life to save, his conflicting desires for love and power raging a battle within him. Kaliope possesses the key to setting Bale free, and Caben will stop at nothing to see his goddess restored. Even if that means destroying the kingdom he’s sworn to protect, and the infuriating woman who torments his thoughts.
Kaliope, now the leader to the newly formed Nactue Guard, has vowed to save Caben. But with a traitor lurking among her people, and powers she’s unable to fully control, Kaliope’s mission becomes shrouded with doubt. Her new role as watcher over Caben’s kingdom brings a burden she’s unable to bear alone, and appointing the right person in charge of the prince’s affairs has turned a kingdom against the Nactue leader. Saving her stubborn, willful prince from the darkness overtaking him will be the battle of her life, and she needs people she can trust by her side. But bad blood between members of the Nactue obscure Kaliope’s journey, while her feelings for Caben cloud her judgment.
When the time comes to do what she must to destroy the goddess of chaos, will she be able to if it means losing Caben forever?
