If I were to describe my book by a song I would choose “Bring Me To Life” by Evanescence, to describe Kiss of the Dragon (copyright Ellie Mack 2012). Kiss of the Dragon is a paranormal romance about Isabelle Lennox, an interior designer from Texas. She falls through a mirror to end up back in medieval times where she meets Zanathrus Fallon, Lord of the Green Dragons.
Everything that she has thought about who she is, is about to be shattered. When she is thrown into Zane’s world, it “wakes her up inside” awakening her true being. Like a Celtic knot, her life is interwoven intricately into the tapestry of life, prophecy, and destiny. The hidden truths begin to surface as their relationship develops. The ordinary existence she had is nothing compared to the grandeur of who she really is.
In a world of dragons, wyverns, mages, and warriors; Isabelle discovers her own strength and purpose. She is either the destiny or the destruction for the dragon world. Which will it be? Either way, there’s no turning back to the darkness that was before.
In the chorus the female lead singer is singing “wake me up inside, bid my blood to run, save me from the nothing I’ve become.” Then at the end of this song the lyrics are: I’ve been living a lie there’s nothing inside, Bring me to life.
Reality has never been as good as fantasy.
Lyrics to “Bring Me to Life”
How can you see into my eyes like open doors?
Leading you down into my core when I’ve been so numb.
Without a soul, my spirit’s sleeping somewhere cold
Until you fixed it there and lead me back home.
Wake me up (wake me up inside)
I can’t wake up (wake me up inside)
Save Me (Call my name and save me from the dark)
Wake me up (Bid my blood to run)
I can’t wake up (Before I come undone)
Save me (Save me from the nothing I’ve become)
Now I know what I’m without
You can’t just leave me
Breathe into me and make me real. Bring me to life.
Wake me up (wake me up inside)
I can’t wake up (wake me up inside)
Save Me (Call my name and save me from the dark)
Wake me up (Bid my blood to run)
I can’t wake up (Before I come undone)
Save me (Save me from the nothing I’ve become)
I’ve been living a lie. There’s nothing inside.
Bring me to life.
Frozen inside without your touch
Without your love, darling
Only you are the life among the dead.
All this time, I can’t believe I couldn’t see
Kept the dark but you were there in front of me
I’ve been sleeping a thousand years it seems
Got to open my eyes to everything
Wake me up (wake me up inside)
I can’t wake up (wake me up inside)
Save Me (Call my name and save me from the dark)
Wake me up (Bid my blood to run)
I can’t wake up (Before I come undone)
Save me (Save me from the nothing I’ve become)
I’ve been living a lie there’s nothing inside
Bring me to life.
“Kiss of the Dragon” is a current work in progress that I will be submitting for publication in 2012.
