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.

The Old Universe by Forbidden Origins

Posted By Fantasy Books Curator Leave a Comment

-Star Wars meets The Lord of the Rings in this debut epic fantasy about a universe before our own caught in the middle of a war led by a son who finally wishes for freedom across the cosmos.-

No one knows where the Spears came from, but they do know that the Spears of Time and Space created the universe. They know that The All Father yields the Spear of Space. They know that his planetary kingdom looms over every star, every galaxy, and every world-casting a shadow of fear and servitude. They know that serving The Black Palace is a matter of life or death.

Corrin knows this as well. Being a herald for The All Father has made him into a symbol of war and anguish. Devastation always follows when Corrin enters a planet’s atmosphere sporting The Black Palace banner. But to Corrin, enough is enough.

As rebellion against The All Father breaks loose across the universe, Corrin begins to fight an internal battle of who he is and what future the Spears have in store for him. War against The All Father seems unimaginable, but Corrin knows that if nothing changes, chaos is inevitable.

The Old Universe launches an epic, gut wrenching, and powerful series that takes readers on a journey back to witness the beginning of the end.

Targeted Age Group:: 16 and above

The Deadlands by Minerva Hart

Posted By Fantasy Books Curator Leave a Comment

The Deadlands by Minerva Hart

In a world ravaged and reshaped by a monstrous virus, an unlikely pair attempt to save a girl from a Jhingoist cult.

Thirty years ago, the Splicer’s Sickness swept across the globe, turning all it infected into vicious, half-animal creatures and leaving everyone else to fend for themselves. Since then, life has adapted. That goes doubly for Karl Gearhart, a former soldier in the Alpine Safe Zone who has since deserted his group and gone to live in an abandoned factory. He is happy to live the same day over and over and spend his time tinkering.

But one day, after his home is compromised, he meets Nessa Shirokuma, a charming young archer on her way to New York City. The cult that lives there, the Lightbringers, have kidnapped her sister as part of their deluded mission to reestablish the pre-Sickness USA. Karl is convinced it’s a lost cause, but Nessa will not be dissuaded. Thus, they form a deal: He will accompany her to New York, and she in turn will help him find a new home.

It will be a dangerous journey, fraught with monsters of both the splicer and human persuasion. They will come across religious zealots, angry mobs, cannibals, and many more perils. All the while, they will learn to lean on each other as their partnership blooms into something more. But will it be enough to keep them alive?

It will take you on a futuristic journey into the year 2036.
The highly imaginative tales within would keep you spellbound.
How can one man misuse science for revenge?
Prepare to hold on to your seats as you may have to dodge high tech weapons and shrinkenators.Don’t worry.
Handsome doctors like Dr. Raynor Sharpe and Dr. Steven Sharpe along with beautiful Dr. Janet Jones-Sharpe will take care of you at the Gosh hospital.
Intertwined in the first part of this futuristic tale is a romance about Janet and Raynor which will warm your hearts.
The highlight of the story is the life of the protagonist Dr. Steven Sharpe who was kidnapped as a child.
Zeeka Chronicles: Revenge of Zeeka was an award winner in the Category Young Adult Thriller in Readers Favorite International Awards 2018, winner in Science Fiction in SIBA Awards 2017, winner of the gold award in the category science fiction in Connections Emagazine Readers’ Choice Awards 2018, and winner in the top ten finalists for science fiction in the Author Academy Global Awards 2018,.
Here is a recent review from an Amazon reader:”An entertaining read filled with suspense. A science-fiction story with lingering themes on human flaws and goodness.
As a teacher/student this would make a great comparative study to Frankenstein or Shakespeare’s plays, with love, lies, and revenge as persistent human traits. Set in 2036 the unnerving accuracy of being in an era where we encounter robots as part of our daily lives takes the reader on a journey through time where human values, some negative and some are imperative to the improvement of the human condition.
If you’re not a zombie fan, this book will draw you –destined to shock and delight.” MN

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
With the scare of the zika virus, my imagination started to form stories in my mind. I had never written a science fiction novel before and decided to try. I wrote the first episode Zeeka and the Zombies and it was well-received. The other episodes followed naturally – Zeeka's Child, Zeeka Returns, Zeeka's Ghost and Resurrection. Zeeka kept speaking to me telling me what to write. The book became the winner of several international awards.

The Far Side of Evil by Sylvia Engdahl

The Far Side of Evil by Sylvia Engdahl

On completion of her training as an agent of the interstellar federation’s Anthropological Service, Elana is sent to a world whose people may soon destroy their civilization. Since not enough is understood about the situation to justify any interference with their evolution, the Service has no power to act; its agents must go as helpless observers, posing as natives, in the hope of gaining knowledge that may help to save other worlds. This passive role proves intolerable to the young, inexperienced agent assigned to the same city as Elana, a city under totalitarian rule. After falling in love with a local girl who has become Elana’s closest friend, he identifies too completely with the natives and unwittingly endangers the entire world by a well-meant but ill-advised attempt to intervene. Forced to assume responsibility for undoing the damage, Elana finds that only she–at great cost–can prevent an immediate war of annihilation.

From the reviews:

“A surprising, haunting, poetic book . . . full of provocative philosophical and psychological questions as well as tense adventure and romance.” —Commonweal

“Gripping psychological science fiction . . . the relationship between the heroine and her sophisticated, unbrutish interrogator is beautifully balanced and adds another dimension to a story which is already multi-faceted.” —Times Literary Supplement, London

“The author has a direct, forceful style of writing that sparks the reader’s imagination.” —Publisher’s Weekly

The Shylmahn Migration brings gritty realism to the nightmare of an overwhelming alien invasion of earth.

This is not ‘slam, bam, welcome to earth’ stuff. There will be no fairy dust sprinkled into the atmosphere to miraculously kill off the bad guys.

This could happen.

The miniseries screenplay adaptation of the novel won the Pacific Northwest Screenwriters Competition.

For the Shylmahn, it was a wonderful adventure…

Featured Book: Arising, Prophecy of Hope Book 1 by Sarah Kennedy

Posted By Fantasy Books Curator Leave a Comment

bookCover2-200x3001From Time’s conception the Guardians have led the way. Theirs is a position and a duty given by Sanctus, earned by Trials and kept by Right. They are a force beyond the confines of nature, immortal, wise, just and fair in their ways, and above all, powerful. Their supremacy has been a Golden Age when every Race, nation and living thing were united into one great society led by the wisdom and Light of the Guardians. But that glory has been breached from within by Arawn’s choice. Now Darkness comes.
In secret Darkness has festered since the dawn of time but with the shields of the earth crumbling, bringing chaos in the wake of the Great Guardian Exodus, everything is changing. A world hangs in the balances. The earth has turned against its inhabitants; its seasons have been wrung out of their courses and the Sun grows weaker by the hour.

A Resistance gathers yet who can tell friend from foe, reality from illusion or even hope from despair? Time passes—its measure diminishing with the Light as both fade more and more into Darkness. Generations rise and fall too soon. No one is safe. Not even the timeless wielders of the Light whose access to the eternal Flame is at the heart of it all. Flame—the most mysterious and valuable substance in the universe. It is life, power, and the promise of so much more yet it is not the prize, but the tool.

A new age has dawned. For Darkness too has access to the Flame so begins the Time of the Prophecy of Hope. Only with the Light fading away, Hope is just a word. All life is bound up in a new kind of war; its only front is the soul; its only weapon is temptation, and there is only one way out, survive the illusion! No one is immune. Not even the Guardians themselves…

Cadclucan—
A Guardian—one in whose heart this treasured Flame burns, one capable of breathing and wielding its untold power. He is the first son of the Mother and Father; Head of Sanctus’ noble legions of the Light who are by their Flame linked irrevocably to the Source. Cadclucan is the creature of Light who once led three of his brothers back in Time to rescue one of their number from the grip of an ancient evil. When the hope of that journey failed, his brother, Arawn, willfully chose to defy the laws of the Light and not even the Flame could withstand the infection that followed. By Arawn’s fall, the Guardian bloodline was broken; the Flame divided and a great war was fought talon to talon, brother against brother till blood rained from the heavens. Now, following the Exodus in which the Guardians retreated into their secret realm, Cadclucan is the last of his kind remaining in the world. He cannot stay; he cannot leave till Mhorag, the Promised Guardian King comes to claim the key to immeasurable power—the Stone of Existence of which he is the Guardian. No peace and no rest remain. Hiding and hunted, Cadclucan faces fear unlike any known to his kind before. It is a fear that comes from within his mind—a mind that is plagued by memories of a black future yet unmade.

Lorshin—
He is the eldest offspring of the fallen, Prince of his race, but he is tortured by his own existence. He lives with his people in a remote and nameless forest to keep all life safe from the insanity brought on by their uncontrollable hunger. It is the curse of all Samhail to hunger for the Flame, which is their lost birthright as the dreaded children of Arawn. Traces of Flame are hidden in the life blood of every living thing. No longer under the protection of the Guardians the monster within has come unleashed. Always hungry, never quite in control, Lorshin stalks the night, and fears the Sun all the while silently harboring the torturous memories of the past. Seeking peace in all the wrong ways, the predator soon becomes prey to the Dark One’s illusion. With a single kiss he enslaves his people to Death. His crime and its price was foretold in Prophecy, yet he failed to heed its warning. Now Lorshin, as the lover of Death, undertakes a desperate attempt to redeem himself and free his people from everlasting Darkness. Through his bond with his twin, Isentara, who alone escaped slavery, he still knows Light, and Light is a powerful defense, but also through their bond Isentara knows Darkness. Two halves of a whole, separated by forces greater than themselves, they each must ultimately face the Darkness alone.
In the Darkness, strength becomes weakness. Anyone who gets in the way of the Dark One’s will faces a horrible end, and the Dark One wants Lorshin to be his Weapon more Worthy.
Playing dangerous games with the Dark may cost Lorshin more than he knows.

Sgarrwrath—
That dark entity who emerged from the heart of the first created life when Time was still unmeasured. Despite his stolen existence, he is a being who was never meant to exist. Cast down from the Kingdom, stripped of flesh, bone and identity, he remains becoming The One Whose Name is not Spoken, the bane of the Light. Existing in formless Darkness long held at bay by the Guardians’ dominion, Sgarrwrath has never forgotten the object of the lust that first birthed him into being, Sanctus’ Orb of Power.
Within the Orb is contained the Source, hidden in Flame, who is the most incomprehensible and powerful being in the universe and the one thing Sgarrwrath craves above all else. The Source has always been beyond evil’s reach, yet Time has a way of changing everything. Sgarrwrath never forgot and he never surrendered. His lust, like the Darkness, festered in the recesses of world in love with the Light. Now the ways of the Light lay in ruin and Flame is within his grasp. The time is fast approaching when either Light or Darkness will have to rise and lay claim to the soul of the Source by whom both are now uncomfortably linked. But all moments bare a price.
Darkness grows out of the East, sweeping inch by hard won inch across the world. The Resistance falters until a Prophet, branded by Flame emerges to proclaim the Hope of the Promised. Sgarrwrath has not grown so strong that he is beyond doubt, and when something not of his making burns into the encroaching shadows of his Void, all his plans come to disruption.

Disruption—
Comes in the form of a mere Human. He was born to this time, and bred to this destiny, being of a pure descent in a long concealed line of Men whose purpose is shrouded in mythology. His name is Armahad. Marked by a Guardian, bearer of the crown of the royal house of Caladrius, he is a man whose face shines like the Sun. Armahad soon finds himself at the center of the war. The Resistance gathers to his throne for refuge, yet he is endowed with all the weaknesses of humanity, and the weight of the world and the Prophecy have come to rest upon his shoulders.
Darkness follows, forcing Armahad to decide whether he is as noble as his ancestors to suffer that others may have Hope or whether he will choose another way.

Four lives bound in Prophecy
A world oppressed and on the brink suddenly embrace the coming of the Colorless.

The Colorless–
Young, unproven Guardians find themselves alone in the face of unimaginable testing, in the grip of ancient evil.

And

There is only one choice for all: Absolute Surrender or Despair.
Who will rise and who will fall? Who will live to fight another day, and what will be the price of this Darkening Age? Trust no Hope.
An epic, dark fantasy saga continues…

sgarrwrathCast down from the Kingdom, cursed, condemned, stripped of flesh, bone and identity for his crime, Sgarrwrath has become The One Whose Name is not spoken, the bane of the Light. He has long existed in formless Darkness, held in check by the Guardians’ dominion, but he has never forgotten the object of the lust that first birthed him into being, Sanctus’ Orb of Power. Within the Orb of Power is contained the Source, hidden in Flame, the most mysterious and
powerful entity in the universe. This treasure is the one thing Sgarrwrath craves above all else and it is the one thing that has always been beyond his reach, until now. Even the Guardians, in whose hearts Flame burns, who breathe and wield its power, have never seen its Source nor harnessed its full potential. They are content to serve the Light. Arawn is not like the others. He is young, untested and he seeks more power though a prophecy reveals the predominance of the Flame belongs to another yet to be revealed. Arawn is easy prey for Sgarrwrath who lures him into Darkness to corrupt Arawn’s Flame to his will in the hope that Flame alone is the key to life, power– everything! Arawn’s brothers, three powerful, incorruptible Guardians
refuse to abandon hope. They journey into Darkness; how far will they go to save him? Will they have the strength to do what must be done even if they are forced to turn the full extent of their power upon Arawn? Or will Sgarrwrath destroy them all?

Winner of three Honorable Mentions to date: one in Fantasy (Halloween Book Festival 2013), one in Science Fiction (New England Book Festival 2013), one in Genre- based Fiction ( London Book Festival 2013).
