Some are strange, some are old, some come in Vs, and others are continuous. Do you want to try being spontaneous? Or remain oblivious? The choice is yours, dear reader, who is anonymous.

The Return of the Dark Sun: Book One of the Chronicles of a Higher Calling

 


Book One of the Chronicles of a Higher Calling


A thousand years ago, the art of magic suddenly vanished from the world. No one could explain exactly what had caused this unexpected event. Kingdoms and empires fell apart as their economies and societies collapsed, and only the strongest, richest empires survived this hopeless time, the Age of Chaos, which lasted two hundred years.

Without magic and the power of wizardry, whole generations grew old and died. In the Free Realms, people no longer believed sorcerers had ever existed. One day, however, a glimpse of the past returns.

Kara Primusignis, a princess, lives her everyday life in the Kingdom of Kallahia, traveling from town to town in search of a missing part of her past. Strange news arrives from a neighboring kingdom: a merchant has made an unusual discovery in the Gaenessi Mountains, a range to the far southwest. Kara, with a group of soldiers, immediately sets out to the location to investigate.

Days before the arrival of the strange news, Kara witnessed the sun change colors for a few hours, but then it returned to normal. At that time, she didn’t suspect that this phenomenon would soon change her life forever…

If Only EVE Would Talk

 


If Only EVE would talk:

Temptations approach and God's way of dealing with it.


Temptation is heightened when the imagination dominates over the sound mind. It implants vain thoughts within the mind and delights secretly in its contentment. When we indulge with desire in thoughts of forbidden things, we become prepped to fall. When it cannot be fulfilled legitimately under the circumstances of being new in Christ, we can find ourselves in Temptation’s next phase: Moving from being tempted to tempted! Let this book take you back to where it all started in the Garden of Eden. “Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the Lord had made. And he said to the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?” (Genesis 3:1) “And the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof and did eat and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat” (Genesis 3:6) Satan has his tactics to destroy mankind. We will soon see that God has a greater plan for us to overcome every temptation that comes our way. This book, If Only Eve Would Talk, will open the readers eyes to the power that is given to us in Christ Jesus. We can come out in victory no matter what temptations we are faced with.

Shadowborn

 


Shadowborn
Author: Kelly Starrz

Shadowborn is set in a reality where 'supes', supernatural beings, are a part of the human world. This steamy, action-packed mystery will have readers grasping for clues and wanting to read more.


There is a reason Shadowborn witches are so rare, and those alive remain hidden. After opening a forbidden book, Rya Groves awakens powers many in the witching world are frightened of. With the help of Lucas Bane, a warlock who coincidentally bumps into her the same week she starts to hear whispers from the dead, she starts to uncover more about her powers and who she really is. 


That same week, a heartthrob, Alek Wood, starts attending her school, proving himself to despise Rya upon first sight, yet he can’t stay away from her. Rya can’t find it in herself to hate the guy despite his hot and cold attitude toward her. There is a strange pull, a current of electrical sparks between them that grow stronger with every touch. 


Fighting his natural instincts and his ‘beast’ for dominance, Alek is terrified of hurting the one he’s started to care for the most. Someone he didn't want to care for, or ever care for anybody, because of his nature and the imminent doom that would follow his affections. 


Aware that there is more to Alek Wood than his chiseled good looks and 'charming' personality, Rya is adamant about figuring out his secret. But these problems are the least of her worries. On the first day of Alek’s arrival, two bodies were found on the outskirts of the castle grounds. They are not the last, and as more bodies turn up, more about the killer unfolds.


Follow Rya's whirlwind journey of rediscovery, romance, and mystery in the 'supe' world.


Excerpt:


Rya wanted answers… answers to questions that were blown away by the sudden touch of Alek’s lips. 


With such vehement heat, Alek crashed his lips against Rya’s, taking her breath away.


Alek’s hands gripped her waist tightly, and Rya responded with her fingers threading through the back of his silky, disheveled hair. He pressed himself into her more, and she sighed, allowing his tongue to delve in and take complete control of hers. 


She’d kissed others before but not like this. It was like she’d never been kissed before!


Alek utterly dominated her, making her knees go weak, her hands clutching tightly at him as he held her upright. He did something with his tongue or lips that got her thighs tightening at the sudden rush of heat and need. 


She moaned, her cheeks turning red in embarrassment. 


Rya was lost in Alek so much that she didn’t pay attention to the pleasurable pressure caused by something digging into her hips and going up her sides. 

Alek pulled away from the kiss, and she almost complained until she felt him sucking and kissing down her neck, sending flickers of flames to run down her spine, shooting straight for her core. Rya’s head leaned back as sensation after sensation ricocheted through her. 


Gasping, Rya couldn’t believe what was happening, what THEY were doing. She’d even drawn one leg up and wrapped it around his waist, pulling him closer to her. This time, Alek met her lips chastely before a loud thud beside their heads made the pair startle and stop. 

Rya's head whipped to the side, and she noticed it was Alek’s fist.


Heart beating ferociously, chest heaving, eyes wide with shock and desire, her lips swollen from kissing, Rya stared back at Alek. His eyes were flickering between green and gold, something she couldn’t quite understand but figured it had something to do with his control. 


Control of what, though?

Attempts

 




Attempts


Asant finds himself tempted by desires to taste and have what others have, and chooses to rob a bank; however, at the last second he finds himself unable to go through with the robbery. Even so, the prospect of jail overwhelms his psyche. His spiritual mentor, and caretaker from the time of Asant’s teens, is direct, “You must face your actions...”
Asant makes his choice and decides to evade and escape his country, in one way spurred by a deep-seated fear, in another by the same courage inherent in every person. As for the fear in him, it had grown from knowing how his father was tortured and violated while himself in prison; while the courage was supported and ignited over the years by his mentor.
The mentor reiterates that it is Asant’s choice, and if it is to leave country, the mentor suggests doing a tremendous good by helping a people entrenched in war. Asant follows the mentor’s guidance and travels across borders in attempt to redeem himself. His strength grows through fortuitous encounters – a border-crossing courier who becomes a companion; a caravan leader who provides sustenance; a star-gazing clan chief; an individual who feels responsible for starting a war... Through it all he experiences how physical reality manifests from and intersects with spiritual reality, and along the way gains strength and trust to endure.
