Claiming Amber, Book Five of the Crystal Warriors series
They took her name and crushed her spirit. And then a cursed warrior stole her heart.
Blamed for the circumstances of her birth, Patience has always failed to conform to the Community's ideals. After she stumbles across a shattuckite crystal, she's shunned for consorting with Shattuck, the man who claims he's been imprisoned in that very same crystal. Tuck spirits Patience away from the only family she's known, exposing them both to a world that neither are equipped to deal with. Their growing bond, and the lies they are forced to tell, only complicate everything. But the clock is ticking. Patience must reclaim her birth-name and realize her true potential. Tuck must fulfil the terms of his curse... and survive the havoc wrought by a capricious goddess who is bending all the rules.
