excerpt
What they’re saying:
“The Transformation of Anna is first-rate fantasy, with a
healthy dose of romance added in. Wilson has created a plausible,
multi-dimensional world complete with gods, mythologies, and engaging
characters. The world Wilson has created in The Transformation of Anna is
complex, but infinitely and easily accessible to the reader. It's quite an
amazing and impressive work with lots of action and adventure, heroic
characters, and an elegant and satisfying romance.”—Jack Mangus, Readers’
Favorite
"The Transformation of Anna by Charlene A. Wilson is a
beautifully stunning and deeply touching story of the darkest of treachery, the
rebirth of lost love, and the discovery of hidden secrets. Being left
absolutely breathless and deeply astonished after reading such an extraordinary
story is a new experience for me. I am anything but disappointed in this
superbly enchanting and endearingly exhilarating tale of deeply true and
lasting love. My heart was captured and lost to this spellbinding
journey!"—Amber McCallister, The Wonderings of One Person.

EXCERPT
Cole unstopped the slender vial and gently lifted
Anna’s head to administer the potion. As he carefully tipped the container to
her lips, tremors traveled down his forearms. His hands quaked. The amber
liquid jumped to the brim and he quickly tilted it upright. Gods, Cole,
control yourself. She needs every drop.
A soft palm rested on his wrist and Cole’s gaze shot to
Elaina’s. When had she returned and how did he not pick up on the strong
compassion emitting from her when she had? Her blue eyes looked deep into his,
understanding with a touch of sadness. “Let me do that, Cole. You’ve been
through enough.”
He wasn’t sure if the tremors were from anticipating a
fortunate outcome or from sheer anxiety over the whole ordeal, but he accepted
her tender attention as a blessing. Vincent’s intervention with her was
evident. He watched as she patiently poured small measures into Anna’s mouth.
Elaina turned to Cole and lifted the emptied container.
“Well, that’s it. She got it all.”
He sighed. “Thank you.”
“Anything, Cole.” She smiled and set the vial on the bed
stand. “What about you? Can I get you a drink? It might calm you some.”
Nodding, he offered a small smile.
“Good, then. I’ll be right back.”
As she closed the door behind her, Cole eased himself onto
the bed. “Don’t give up, Anna.” His faint words were swallowed by the silence
of the room. “I’ll fix this and see to it nothing ever happens to you again.”
Brushing his fingertips over her hair, he solemnly whispered a plea. “Don’t
leave me.”
Her soft locks sent countless memories rushing through his
mind—her smile, cheeky comments, blue eyes dancing as if life itself was a
game. Her Arylinite spirit embraced every moment of love, able to see beneath
façades that others deemed as truth. He sighed, knowing that side of her may
have been unique to that lifetime—a result of her specialized upbringing in the
Arylin colony of the northern territory.
He tilted his head and gazed over her still face. Her
features were remarkably similar to Mianna’s. The gentle slope of her nose, the
way she chose to wear her dark hair long, and he couldn’t deny her blue eyes
when she’d looked at him. He cupped her cheek with his hand, gently stroking
her lips with his thumb. They curved from a bow-tie center into a natural
smile. So soft. Inviting. He leaned to her and lightly kissed them, then leaned
his cheek to hers.
“Talk to me, Anna.” His breath was a plea. As much as he
knew no answer would come, his heart called to her with his deepest wish.
He brushed his fingers down her neck to her chest, tenderly
caressing her pale skin at the neckline of her gown. A strained pause caught
his throat as he lightly followed her breast to her ribcage. “What’s in your
heart?”
The tiny circles he drew on the thin fabric fed his longing
for her touch. Supple creases followed his motion. To have her arms around him,
the love they brought, had given him unmitigated comfort in a past life. It
could be so again.
“My life was yours.” He kissed the circles he created.
“Every moment, I found joy in you.”
He looked at her closed eyes. “Please, don’t leave me.
Please promise you’ll be mine again.”
No emotion showed upon the visage of his love, but distant
echoes of vows lighted his soul.
“Open to me.” He wondered if his whispered thought
could possibly reach her unconscious mind. “Speak to me with your soul.”
Her lips parted and a chill flew through him. He waited,
listened intently. Weak sensations touched his senses. “Anna,” he said aloud,
hope rising. He cupped his palm to her cheek again. “Fight for it. Call to me.”
Anna remained silent.
Cole’s heart ached. Yet, that small reaction spurred his
resolve. He framed her face as he lowered to take her lips with his. “I’ll help
you.”
The scent of licorice and cream fell from his lips as he
called on his Breath of Zephyr. His soul’s voice owned his words. “My life is a
mirage of endless time. But you engulf me, rivet my mind, encompass my soul.”
She inhaled his sensual gift and gasped for deeper intake.
Yes. Hope impossibly filled him. His muscles
tightened with expectation. His heart pounded against his chest. “Call to
me!”
