Mortals & Deities - Book Two of the Genesis of Oblivion Saga

Genre Fiction

Thrust into an Essence Node by what he thought were his benevolent teachers, Alant Cor has transcended the bonds of reality to become the first Mah'Sukai to walk the Plane of Talic'Nauth in thousands of years. Now, he must not only learn to deal with his new powers before they overwhelm and destroy him, he must also escape the wrath of those who hunt him. Alant's brother, Arderi Cor, has joined the ranks of the mysterious Tat'Sujen Order. He is elated with the newfound powers this secret order has awakened within him. Apprehension grips him, however, by the task they set before him - kill a newly discovered Mah'Sukai before this person gains mastery of their powers. These two brothers find themselves on the opposite side of a forgotten war whose beginning is lost in time. One brother is bent on survival, while the other follows Tat'Sujen orders, thinking he must, to save all he holds dear. Both are set on a collision course with fate. Unbeknownst to the brothers, a strange, gray-skinned girl named Elith also travels this fateful course. Raised from birth for one purpose - to capture a Mah'Sukai should one return to the Plane of Talic'Nauth. Elith's master, known only as the Revered Father, desires this new Mah'Sukai to further his own gains. Yet, turmoil boils within her. Is this her true purpose? Is she really the only member of her race in this world of Humans? If so, why does she doubt everything she has been taught by the priests? Klain, the beast, seeks his place as a free being in the world of Humans. It is a life he has never known. Yet, is he truly free? Or, is he just another pawn in a larger, more sinister game? As the magical race of the Elmorr'Antiens reaches out to manipulate the other inhabitants of Talic'Nauth, an even greater power pulls their strings from the shadows. A force, forgotten and unknown to the inhabitants of the Plane, exerts its power to control all the players. How will this power shape the events that unfold as these hapless adventurers spiral toward an inevitable meeting?

A Balance Broken - Book One of the Dragonsoul Saga

In a time before the Dragon Wars consumed Tarmor, the Dragonsouls ruled over the five races. Then, during the destruction of the Cataclysm that followed the wars, the Dragonsouls disappeared. Most wizards thought them destroyed forever, and a great peace settled over the land, each of the five races finding its place, decimated and hidden as it may be. But the winds of Chaos blow eternal, and peace can never last. Secrets thought hidden are oft discovered. Though magic only remains in the hands of a few, and the Paladins of Balance are vanishing, some may still stand against the coming storm. Those who will rise have yet to prove themselves, and who stokes the tempest is yet to be known. "A Balance Broken" is the first tale of The Dragonsoul Saga, a story to span an epic horizon, yet enters the hidden recesses of the human heart, even if that heart is not so human.

Hartke, J. T.

A Darkness Unleashed - Book Two of the Dragonsoul Saga

The winds of Chaos blow eternal, and kingdoms rise and fall. The dark Dragonsoul still seeks its vessel and those who crave power continue to scheme. Tallen and Maddi struggle to find themselves and each other as their world crumbles. With the fortress of Highspur broken, and most of its garrison slaughtered, Boris and Jaerd search for aid in a land gone mad with indifference. Armies rise to fight, and broken families seek to heal. While the tempest continues to brew, new hands reach out to shape it. The ancient story of the storm's beginning continues to transform and evolve. Truth is hard to discern in war when terms like good and evil become relative. A Darkness Unleashed is the highly anticipated second book of the Dragonsoul Saga, sequel to the fan and critically acclaimed A Balance Broken. It dives right back into the action that left everyone craving for more at the end of the first volume. New secrets will be uncovered, revealing more truths of the human heart, even when that heart is not so human.
