Title: The Stager
Author: Jaidis Shaw
Genre: Paranormal Thriller
Expected Release Date: April 2013
Synopsis:
Life is good for assassin Amelia Jay. With
a supernatural gift that allows her to appear as anyone she chooses, Amelia
views the world as her stage. Distracted by an unexpected pregnancy while on a
job, Amelia’s world comes crashing down around her when she is forced to reveal
her powers to the only man she has ever cared for.
Kingsley O’Hare may not be in a legal
position of power, but under the surface he has the city at his disposal. From
drugs to human trafficking, he has gained his fair share of enemies. When he
learns about Amelia’s talents as an assassin, he knows he must have her on his
team. So when Amelia walks out on his job offer, he thinks she is gone for
good. That is, until she is faced with a dilemma and is forced to ask him for a
favor.
Fulfilling her agreement with Kingsley,
Amelia must decide if she is willing to give up the only lifestyle she has
known in order to provide for her unborn child. When the decision is made for
Amelia, she must stand up for those who are unable to fight for themselves,
even if that means losing herself in the process. Will Amelia’s power be enough
to save her?
Excerpt from Prologue:
Victory was mine the day I saw my mother’s essence
leave her body and wrap itself around me like a cloak. I had her memories, her
skills, and her looks. I could be her forever – if I wanted. I sometimes find myself
wondering if there is anything left between us that is redeemable but feeling
the extent of her fear and disgust towards me now as it coursed through my
veins, I knew there was nothing salvageable left. Instead, I shrugged her
essence off of me and watched it return to the motionless body on the floor.
The world became my stage and I was determined to play the lead role.
Now,
I am anything and anyone I want, because I am a Stager.
I
am you.
