When all is lost, he will have to make the
ultimate decision.
Kellen
St. James was just your average seventeen-year-old prodigy, until he
eighty-sixed the Lord of Faerie and proposed to the Celtic Goddess, Calienta.
But then everything in Kellen’s life gets turned upside-down when he and Cali
end up on the run from a seriously irritated group of faeries. The worst part?
They have zero idea why they’re being hunted.
Suddenly,
Kellen is stuck in the middle of another prophecy that foresees him turning
away from Calienta and embracing the dark. He’ll be forced to take sides in a
struggle to claim his birthright, while discovering secrets about his father’s
past. Meanwhile, his passion for Cali grows stronger, even as the prophecy
threatens to tear them apart.
In the end, will Kellen and Cali survive the
fates? When the ultimate power is within reach, which side will he choose?

GUEST POST
The world of The Fallen Stars is one that I love to live in. When I was writing
this book, which is the second novel in the series, I knew that Kellen and Cali
were going to go on the run. But where? We’d had them roaming throughout
Ireland and England, but if you wanted to go into hiding where could you
possibly go.
Enter
Bar Harbor, Maine. I picked this location for Kellen and Cali to go into hiding
in part because it was where I honeymooned with the Dreamy Mr. Keyes and fell
in love with the place. The other reason? It seemed to me to be one of the last
places you’d go if you were on a beach in Ireland. So Maine, it was.
Twelve years had passed since I’d
been to Bar Harbor, so, to stay true to the location, I packed my husband, two
kids, and my mother into a rented minivan and drove sixteen and a half hours to
Maine. We spent the week in the Parson House in Otter Creek—it’s still available
for rent if you’re planning a vacation!

From there I explored every part of
the area that was featured in the book: Cadillac Mountain, Jordan’s Restaurant
(Jacob’s in the book), the Bandstand, Sandy Beach. I also made a special trip
to Compass Harbor to check out the path Kellen travels at night when he comes
across Willock searching for Wintergreen.
