Publisher's Synopsis
Who knew Arkansas had more gates to supernatural realms than anywhere else? A career officer in the U.S. Army, a major with two Silver Stars and extensive combat experience, Alissa also had no idea, at 27, she would "come of age" as a faerie princess, of all things. However it fit in with the army sending her to finish a college degree and instruct reserve officer training in the weird part of Arkansas. Vampires, werewolves, elves, wizards, demons, ogres and other creatures abounded, and that was just in the college student body, staff, and faculty! Her life is complicated by an impending demon invasion of Earth and it seems some ancient prophecy says she's the one who's going to save the old home planet and all the other realms. On top of all that Adam, the Navy SEAL she was getting sweet on in Afghanistan - until he apparently deserted her on the battlefield - shows up. Seems he's not really in the Navy but some kind of elven king who thinks they're an item - that old prophecy again. She's actually really attracted to those chiseled chest muscles and all. Too bad, she hates his guts and publicly humiliates him twice. Still, he ignores rejection and won't give up. She just wants to be a career army officer and get back to the real army but she's promoted to general and everyone's looking to her as the great saving heroine of humanity, elfdom, ogrestan, the dwarf burrows, brownieshire, and you name it for literally thousands of other realms. Way beyond her experience as a small unit leader. Especially as everyone insists on keeping necessary information from her and that's getting mighty frustrating. She's learned by now, however, vampires - being fast, powerful, and loaded with magic can defeat demons. All she needs is a way to recruit the millions needed out of the few thousand on Earth. Gotta be a way or they'll all be demon snacks. Obviously, she has a real problem to overcome. Not to mention she's bonded to a mouthy wand and an overfriendly werewolf. Besides, Adam expecting marriage, passionate loving, and other stuff she does not intend to give him, demons want to kill and eat her. She also must teach what vampires and werewolves they can sign up to be soldiers because they're needed as shock troops if Earth is to have any chance at all to beat the demons and survive (think of herding cats and multiply it by a zillion). Things can only get worse - and they do.
