Havily has been a citizen of Second Earth for many years. She has great respect for the Warriors of the Blood, but for one. The long-ago death of her fiancé at the hands of the death vamps means she will do anything in her power to aid the Warrior's cause, and she cannot forgive the one who abandoned them for a life of wealth on Earth. Ever since their meeting a few months ago, Marcus Amargi has been appearing in her dreams, dreams of growing sensuality, and desire leaving her on the edge of completion. It had to be a sick game of his own, beyond supernally strong mental shields, she has never shown any sign of further power since her own ascension. Her entire being is bent on helping Endelle streamline the vast organization she runs, to free up Endelle's skills and energy for those things only she can do. Unfortunately she can no more convince Endelle of the value of her plan than she can rid her nights of Marcus' presence.

Marcus Amargi had his own reasons for leaving the Guardians centuries ago. His promise to Endelle to return when she called has been fulfilled and he is ready to get back to the wheeling and dealing that has become his life. If only Havily would stay out of his head. Each night she visits his dreams; teasing, taunting, leaving him on the edge of fulfillment before fading back into the night. Taking matters into his own hands, so to speak, doesn't slake his thirst for her. His only hope is that time and distance may fade and tatter the growing bond between them. Unfortunately, there will be no chance of that. When Havily is targeted by the Commander's forces, Endelle calls on Marcus to guard her, and he cannot refuse. He will not trust Havily's life to anyone else.

In book two of the World of Ascension series, Caris Roane takes us deeper into the world of Second Earth, revealing more of the far-reaching plot laid down by the Commander and hints of what may truly be at stake. Unlike many second books, BURNING SKIES is just as tightly plotted as the first, with, if anything, even greater levels of sensuality and a deepening of the relationships between characters. I am greatly looking forward to book three, Wings of Fire, due out in November 2011.
