All Delanie Drakon wants in life is to live a simple, quiet life. That’s easier said than done being the descendant of the magical world’s most evil foe. Living an ordinary existence among those who have no magic is something a Corrupted like her simply cannot do. It doesn’t help that she’s carrying the family curse, on the run from a rogue group, or attracting the attention of a Hunter whose job it is to kill her kind.
Gabriel Stone, an exemplary Hunter from an ancient line, takes his job keeping Corrupteds from breaking the enchanted treaty that protects those who have no magic very seriously. He’s a company man, living for the hunt, living to make the world safe. Every mission he’s had has been successful, that is, until he meets Delanie, a Corrupted unlike he’s ever met before.
Thrown together in a cross-country, globe-trotting adventure to break the curse inside Delanie before she falls into the wrong hands, the two natural born enemies fight unknown foes, traitors, a curse, and growing attraction. Gabriel and Delanie will have to lay aside their differences if they want to make it out of this journey alive and save the world of unassuming innocents trapped in the middle of a magical war they know nothing about.
SJ Moquin writes fantasy and science fiction mixed with a dash of adventure, action, and dark mystery, as well as a bit of humor and a good dose of sweet romance. She’s a southern girl who loves crisp autumn mornings, snow days, black and white movies, and is a sucker for a love story whether happy or sad.
Life with seven kids, her darling hubs, and four adorable Morkie puppies never allows for a dull moment. She divides her time between her five girls still at home, a never ending to-be-read pile, and creating magical worlds full of strong heroines, quirky side-kicks, and handsome leading men. She believes in happy endings, fairy tales, and the power of love to conquer all, and has been known to fan-girl with the best of them over a hunky book boyfriend or two.
SJ began writing years ago while in high school, continued off and on through her twenties and thirties where she wrote stories just for her girls. In 2012, she joined the online writing community, Wattpad.com, where she connects her first draft stories with thousands of readers around the world. In 2019, she was invited to join the Wattpad Stars program which helps the development of Wattpad's most promising writers. Her first novel, Remembrance, is scheduled for publication through Darkstroke Books July 27th of this year.
Who doesn't love the enemies to lovers and forbidden romance tropes? Well, look no further because this one has them both! But what's even better about this book is the nostalgia it invokes in you! SJ took some villains we already know, sprinkled them into Flawed, and expanded on their lineage to create a truly magical world.
Delanie and Gabriel are *chef's kiss*. From their immediate, palpable tension to discovering who they really are, make Flawed a quick and unputdownable read.
