Bleeding Light, Prophecy of Hope Book 3 by Sarah Kennedy

Posted By Fantasy Books Curator Leave a Comment

In the latest volume of the award-winning Prophecy of Hope Saga, an empty throne, fallen crown and broke scepter are all that remains of the great Empire of Light. From Nudhug to Armahad, the marked bones of the Caladrius kings have all been stripped of their promise, and crumbled into dust. But one remains. the despotic heir, Liacin Caladrius, has given himself wholly to Sgarrwrath, the ancient evil cursed long ago to formless darkness, for promises of power beyond that of any man before. Yet Sgarrwrath cares little for the man held in his thrall, he desires only to wield Liacin and the bloodline he embodies. A bloodline tied to a prophecy as old time. Sgarrwrath has spent millenia trying to overcome his curse, one stolen piece of life at a time, and the prophecy forever telling his doom. His ultimate prize is none other than the one who cursed him so long ago, Mhorag, the Living Flame, one of the Everliving. With Liacin and his bloodline of prophecy, Sgarrwrath hovers upon the brink of world-wide dominion. Yet when flame falls from the sky and the Markless Son bears the Golden Brand, Sgarrwrath finds himself facing his highest desire and his greatest fear, as all who behold the signs know that the true Promised King has come but not in the way they expect. As the prophecy has long foretold, hope is divided like the flame. By some twist of fate, Mhorag has come down into a world of darkness and has taken an unexpected form. The form of a child, robed not in the glorious flame of the Everliving but in vulnerable, human flesh, in the womb of Sian Seela. Why? That is the question that plagues Sgarrwrath as together he and Liacin seek to claim the Promised, setting their focus upon the infant conceived by mysterious circumstances. In some ways, Mhorag seems diminished and yet Sgarrwrath can still sense too much life, power– everything he has ever desired and more, and suddenly Mhorag appears to be in reach. Sgarrwrath seeks to take the child before he can be born upon the earth but something stands in his way. Both a prophecy and a curse. Others also look to the child. To protect him. To serve him. To worship him. Soon, the battle lines of a timeless war are redrawn, this time upon the earth, held in the terrible grip of Sgarrwrath’s own dark soul.

Targeted Age Group:: Teens and up

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
Bleeding Light is a continuation of a series. The series came about from characters I have been writing about for most of my life. I started writing them as a child during a particularly difficult season in my family as we faced my brother Isaac's drug addiction. The series, in its published form, came out of that when following Isaac's sudden death in what has become known as our country's ongoing Opioid Crisis, I wrote my first novel, Sgarrwrath, Prequel to the Prophecy of Hope, as part of my grieving process. Sgarrwrath is a character I never named as a child. He was there in the darkness and pain but he never found his voice until after Isaac's death, and without Sgarrwrath there would be no series. Bleeding Light, Prophecy of Hope Book 3 is simply the next part of the planned series of interconnected stories.

Palace of Sunderland. Paradise to the peasants. Prison to sixteen-year-old Anna, daughter of the king.

The perils of the journey ahead will push Anna to the limit and answer the one question that has always plagued her. Will she ever be enough?

Featured Book: The Rules for Lying by L. A. Kelley

Posted By Fantasy Books Curator Leave a Comment

FREE: March 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 2018

WARNING: No good comes from a book with magic, mayhem, theft, murder, sass talk, demons, animals committing felonies, gleeful revenge, and bad things happening to good people for no particular reason. This story won’t encourage good habits and probably fine tune bad ones. The only lesson is don’t lie until you know the rules.

Teenager Peter Whistler lives at the Little Angels Home for Orphan Boys. Life in New Jersey is harsh in the Great Depression, but Peter has an exceptional ability to lie. He hones his talent, convinced it’s the ticket to easy fortune. He certainly doesn’t foresee the arrival of a murderous conjurer with mysterious designs on a little blind girl named Esther. Drawn into a nefarious plot to unleash a demon, Peter leads Esther and an enchanted terrier on a desperate escape to New Orleans and meets Amelie Marchand. Like all well-bred southern girls she’s trained in deadly martial arts, but with a murderous stepmother, Amelie has troubles of her own. Peter and Amelie’s one chance for survival is to head deep into the bayou and seek help from a mad shaman known as the Frog King.

Welcome to an alternate 1930s where both jazz and magic fill New Orleans’ air. Can a little luck, mystical lies, and a dash of Cajun crazy help Peter harness the power to kill an immortal demon? If not, the Depression will be a picnic by comparison when hell arrives on Earth.
