Synopsis:
All that glitters may not be gold.
When an antique gold show comes to
Vegas, Tarot-reading magical artifacts hunter Sara Wilde’s job is simple:
locate and liberate a set of relics rumored to give their bearers access to an
ancient, incredible power. With whispers of a war on magic racing through the
Connected community, every psychic, mystic, warlock, and witch descends on Sin
City to claim the relics first. But no one wants these talismans more than
Sara’s client: the insufferably arrogant, criminally sensual, absolutely untrustworthy Magician.
And what the Magician wants…
Sara’s heist takes a turn for the
trickier as the smoky-eyed specter from her past, Detective Brody Rooks, is
assigned to investigate a break-in at the gold show, forcing her to confront
the one man in Vegas she can’t bluff. Even worse, just as she finally gets her
hands on the goods, the game changes anew. The resulting chase leads her across
the world to an ancient Egyptian temple filled with secrets, deception… and
hints about her own abilities that could change everything. Desperate for
answers, Sara is forced to turn to the one person she knows will lie, cheat,
manipulate and steal to get whatever he craves. Only now, it seems, the
Magician wants her.
Sometimes, when the deck is stacked
against you… you’ve got to play the Wilde
Card.
Excerpt Wilde Card:
Chapter One
I couldn’t breathe. I couldn’t even
blink. Six foot two of hard-bodied ex–Special Forces operative was snugged up
against my backside, and I was totally falling for him.
For about eight thousand more feet.
My helmet crackled. “You’re doing
great.”
“Unghflun.”
Worse, we were still spinning. They’d
told me the spinning would stop, but it didn’t feel like it was stopping. It
felt like we were dying. And of all the ways to die, French-kissing a cliff at
a hundred miles per hour had not made my short list. It gave a whole new
meaning to the phrase “terminal” velocity.
“Right on target.”
Something shuddered above us, and I
shifted from sprawl to nearly vertical in a sudden blur. I squinted up past the
man carabinered to me in not nearly enough places, to see that our parachute
had deployed.
That would be the “Low Opening”
portion of this joyride into the Siberian mountain range surrounding Lake
Baikal. The “High Altitude” section had been covered by our plunging six-mile
drop from a souped-up jet now well on its way to Beijing.
Getting off this rock without
alerting the local military would be its own special kind of crazy, but I was
down for that. Pretty much any kind of crazy that got me away from Vegas and
the Arcana Council for a few days worked for me.
“Drop point,” echoed in my ear.
Beside us, two other barely
discernible shadows rocketed through the predawn gloom. We were aiming for a
strip of gravel tucked between two sheer cliffs where, according to my client,
X marked the spot for the ultimate Mongolian treasure: the crown of Genghis
Khan. Rumored to give its wearer the Khan’s magical mojo for protection,
abundance, and crazy long life.
Then again, said crown was
apparently resting on the head of a dead guy right now. So there was that.
Another crackle in my helmet. “Bend
your knees.”
“If I had a dollar…”
My guide’s laughter carried through
our final several hundred feet of descent, and suddenly we were on the ground,
a tumble of arms, legs, and high-tech padding. With impressive military
precision, mission leader Zander “Call me Zee” James broke up with me without
remorse, thrusting me aside. I lurched drunkenly to my knees as he slowed his
run then turned to his parachute and punched it into submission.
The other men landed beside us,
neatly outrunning their chutes, and I ducked to avoid a fine spray of rocks
stirred up by the movement. Zee stripped off his HALO suit, oxygen mask and
gear like he was shimmying out of swim trunks, and shoved them into a
we-were-never-here-sized nylon bagel for easy transport out. He flapped his
hand at me for mine and I shoved them at him in a big ball. “Report?” he
snapped.
Zee’s right-hand man squinted down
at a device attached to his wrist. “No heat signatures,” he said, aiming the
thing at the rock wall. “Wall” was being kind. The cliff face surged up as if
an angry god had punched through the earth’s crust, all crags and fissures and
sharp edges. “Seismic activity currently stable.”
As if to counter his words, another
crackle of falling rocks sounded high above us. “Right.” Zee squinted
up. “At dawn, this place’ll
light up like the surface of the sun. We don’t want to be here for that. We get
in, we get out, we get gone.” His gaze shifted to me. “Ready?”
I nodded, then tugged down the
zipper of my tech suit to fetch my own tools of the trade, my trusty pack of
Tarot cards.
With the deck as my compass, I could
find about anything—for a price. As it happened, a hundred G was a heck of a
price. That kind of money translated to at least three more Connecteds hidden
away from the dark practitioners who wanted to use them for spare parts. Not
enough to save them all, no. But enough to count. I had to believe that.
“Sometime today, princess.”
Double-tasking one set of fingers to
offer Zee my opinion of his people management skills, I used the other to pull
a scatter of cards out of the deck.
Here we go.
