Synopsis:
Sabi Perez is the last Diamond
Crier, only she doesn’t know it. Not until a crazed ruler from another
world comes to collect her priceless tears and won’t take no for an
answer.
Living in New York, Sabi’s seen some nasty things, but the lengths to
which her captor will go to keep his crown are things found only in the
darkest nightmares. Afraid and alone, Sabi finds solace in her
cellmate, Anya, and Cabal, a fellow Crier who also has powers, a rare
combination that buys his favor from the ruler. Only it’s a favor he
doesn’t want.
In a fit of rage, power erupts out of Sabi, the same power Cabal has,
and a spark of hope ignites. Together they may have a chance at escape,
something no other Crier has done. Except a ruler hellbent on draining
them of every last diamond tear isn’t their only hurdle. If they escape
they’ll be hunted to the ends of the earth, if they survive the trek to
safety. If they stay the ruler will leech them dry. Sabi would rather
die trying than lie down and die, even if that means running away into
even more danger.

AUTHOR BIO:
Donna
has been writing since she was in the single digits when she
first realized she needed to do something about all the thoughts in her
head. After a stint with bad poetry she finally found her way to
novels, mainly of the young adult fantasy variety. When she’s not
cranking out more stories she works a regular 9 to 5, reads
anywhere from 2 to 3 books a week, drinks copious amounts of tea, eats
way too much, and makes her own beauty products because her skin turns
into a sentient hive if she uses anything else. This is mostly because
she lives in the desert where the air siphons water clean out of her.
She lives with a man named Steve and several quadrupeds: three cats
named Renfield, Sam, and Dean; and a MinPin named Malfoy.
