Ella thought it was tough being an avatar of Gaea. She and all her female relatives spent their lives dispatching the monsters that slipped into Gaea's world through rifts in the Dreaming. But Ella's life became tougher still when she found herself polluted by harpy blood and left chained in a dungeon with the most gorgeous man she'd ever seen. Okay, so it was a wine cellar. Throw in the chains, and it made a prison that Ella had been stuck in for nearly a week.
