Rex Cresting  

(Elei's Chronicles #2)

by Chrystalla Thoma

Still recovering at a hospital on the north coast of Dakru, Elei is convinced that his part in bringing down the Gultur is over. Rex has infected the other race and their dictatorial system is starting to collapse. Not every Gultur, though, has been affected, and on top of that, inside Elei's body, Rex has matured and goes through another transformation. Elei isn't sure he can survive Rex's new strength -- but that may prove the last of his worries as the Gultur descend on him again.




MY TEASER: 

 His pulse leaped, the room lit up in a dizzying sequence, and the woman’s shriek threatened to split his eardrums. He backed out, swallowing hard, his heart slamming against his ribs. Voices rang farther to his right, at the stairwell. He limped into the next room and found it unoccupied. He stared at the empty bed, trying to gather his wits.
