The Gathering — Sherry Taylor

Gathering armies, demonic seduction. Hidden agendas and a deadly disease. Just another day in Ceramia. In the magical kingdom of Ceramia, King Exar continues to send his soldiers and demons after his niece, Kiera, while her personal guard, Canjya, attempts to gather an army to fight for the throne. Led by Dustin's bugs, Kiera and her friends attempt to evade their enemies, battling them when they must. During this time, they suffer pains of separation and loss while experiencing the effects of an age old Black Magic. Though they rescue some, others are captured and it looks like things are leaning in Exar's favor. They will never give up, but can they prevail, let alone survive? This is the second book in the completed Ceramia trilogy and ends in a cliffhanger.
