Warned by a Seeing…
The high king of the Scotian Realm
expects the arrival of an enemy, a race of psychic predators bent on galactic
conquest. The Realm’s one hope is alliance with the neighboring star domains in
defense of a shared colony, Forge.
Caught in Fate’s grim weaving…
Mindblind, amnesic, Tazhret lives out
his drug-induced visions of servitude on Forge. He wants to believe the
beautiful woman with the nut-brown hair who whispers reassurances to his
harrowed heart: “You have a name.” But is she even real? Or just one bright
thread in his dark dreams?
An unexpected hope…
Tazhret’s destiny leads him to freedom
and the woman he yearns for—and to a desperate struggle against the enemy.
Tazhret can save Forge, and the clan
of his beloved. But only at the cost of all he has hoped for:
his name, his freedom, and his love
for the woman with the nut-brown hair…
About the Author:
Warped in
childhood by too much reading, T.K. Anthony made her living in the world of
words, briefly on Capitol Hill as a press secretary before moving on to
Corporate America in business communications and human resources.She grew up in Pennsylvania, has lived in Illinois, Virginia, Upstate and Central New York, and Massachusetts, and has seen much of the United States by road trip, visiting a whole raft of cousins. Travel outside the US includes Scotland, England, Italy, France, and Belgium. With her travel bag packed, she now resides in Texas with her husband, two cats (Pip and Taz are close collaborators in her writing, and keep her keyboard furry), and all the people in her head who talk to her.
She loves to talk to other people, too–so leave a comment, or send her an email at tesskanthony@gmail.com.
Excerpt:
Clenched in the grip of a fateful
vision, the black web of Tazhret’s nightmare suffocated him, paralyzed him.
While his heart pounded in terrified denial, the ensnaring net grew dense, and
tight, cutting off all light, all sound…every breath of air. The nightmare
shifted, and the web became chains, chains of red fire burning into his skin,
binding him, crushing him in nameless enslavement to an evil will while his
soul cried for freedom.
One thread of light, an answer to a
desperate prayer, shone in Fate’s grim weaving of a dark future.
She was beautiful. She gazed at him,
her luminous amber eyes sorrowful in a pale face framed by dark hair. She
insisted against all evidence, You have a name. A good one.
He knew he loved her. His heart ached
for her.
He wondered who she was.
