Page Title

Katera would rather die than allow the Elders to present her at the altar of Kopa Na An. Her twin sister, Adrella,
never returned after her summons to the altar, and Katera is tortured by the memory of her sister's sacrifice. Intent
on escaping a similar fate and craving an end to her suffering under the merciless rule of Askinadon, she
constructs her own demise. Her plans are foiled when an attractive stranger rescues her from her attempt to plunge
hundreds of feet down a waterfall to her death. The stranger takes her to a cave and releases her from her forced
servitude to Askinadon by removing the high tech device implanted in her head.

Encouraged by her new freedom…and her attraction to this mysterious stranger, who calls himself Mikolen, Katera
asks him to help her find her sister, if she is still alive, and free her people from Askinason’s unrelenting grip.

Mikolen wants to help, but is so close to completing his ten year project...tantalizingly close. Helping Katera can
only thwart his efforts by exposing him to Askinadon, his old arch enemy. All will be lost if Askinadon discovers that
he was not killed ten years ago. He doesn't need the risk. The only thing he needs is the exotic matter stored inside
the Orb in Askinadon's lab. With it, he can end his exile in this hellish world and create a wormhole to complete the
stargate...the one that will carry him home. He has only to steal the Orb as his last act in this world.

Yet, something compels him...something moves him to risk it all, to gamble on…on what? Mikolen can only look into
Katera’s green eyes and wonder. How did everything get so complicated?

Oh my gosh! Ok, I'm sad! Adrella, she's not dead, right? They flew her
away; will she have her own story? And will Katera? How much later this year
will these stories be out? Do you have any other books?

Wow, I was just captivated by what I read here. I don't read much fantasy
romance cuz its a new genre for me (I don't read plain fantasy, so i'm
assuming yours has romance?) Do you have a site as well?

If you have a newsleter or just keep my email so that you can let me know
when this book is out? Ok? Thanks so much for sharing such an outstanding
story.
