Tied

A Fire Born Novel

PNR / UF

by Laney McMann

Normal people don't believe their nightmares stalk them. They don’t fall in love with boys who don’t exist, either.

Seventeen-year-old Layla Labelle, though, is far from normal. Her delusions walk the earth. Her hallucinations hunt her, and her skin heats to a burn every time her anger flares.

Or is that all in her head?

Layla doesn't know what to believe any more because if none of that’s true, Max MacLarnon must be an illusion, and her heart must still be broken.

No matter how much she wants to believe Max is real, doing so would mean everything else is, too. How, then, is that possible?

The answers lie in an age-old legend the supernatural aren’t prepared to reveal, and with a curse that could tear Layla and Max apart forever—if it doesn’t kill them both first.

In TIED, book one in the Fire Born trilogy, learning the truth will mean fighting an arsenal of demons, and being with Max will put Layla on a path toward her own destruction.

Just how far will Layla go to protect the one she loves?

The answer may never be far enough ... away.

10's List: Best Fantasy Books

Thanks for having me on the blog, Terri.

I'm going to be honest, Terri wanted me to talk about my 10 worst nightmares, but believe it or not, I don't have nightmares.  So, I thought, well ... I could talk about Layla's nightmares, the protagonist in TIED, but then I realized I would be giving the story away. So, instead I'm going to talk about my top ten fantasy books because I am always a reader before a writer and I LOVE fantasy. High Fantasy, Urban Fantasy, young adult and adult ... from least to best (although I love them all), here goes:

10. Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer. This series is transporting, and for me that's what makes a compelling story.

9. The Secrets of The Immortal Nicholas Flamel by Michael Scott. Mythology, history, and fantasy all wrapped up in one.

8. The Caster Chronicles by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl. Love Ethan, (and Link) and the whole idea surrounding this awesome series.

7. The Vampire Chronicles by Anne Rice. Incredible books.

6.  Lives of The Mayfair Witches by Anne Rice. Although a lot of her titles are classified under horror, I completely disagree. She writes fantasy, really dark—definitely creepy at times, but still fantasy.

5. Game of Thrones (A Song of Fire and Ice) I'm finishing up A Dance with Dragons now, and even though George R. R. Martin has made me mad enough to stop reading the books for weeks at a time, I always come back to them.

4. The Mortal Instruments. Jace. Jace. Jace. One of the best male fantasy characters written (in my opinion). Absolutely love this series.

3. The Hunger Games. These books held my attention like nothing has in quite a while. A really original, gripping story.

2. Harry Potter. Of course. I've read this series, and I'm not kidding either, seven times. And the only reason I haven't read it more than that, which I will, is because I've been so busy writing and reading other books. But HP ... if it weren't for the next book, would be my #1.

1.  Lord of The Rings. My all time, could watch the movies for nine straight hours, or read the books for days and days. Love, love, love this story.

I could add The Fire Born Novels onto this list, too, and I wouldn't be lying to say that I'm in love with my characters just as much as I am with any of those in the 10s List, I just thought I'd keep my name out of the hat. ;)

Thanks for letting me share today, Terri.
