Tangled Omens
by Joni Parker

In Book Two of the Seaward Isle Saga, young Alex continues her adventures as she begins her new role as a Tracker, an elite soldier of the King’s Army. After Alex goes undercover in the market in Agana to gather intelligence, she encounters the pirate spy known only as the Horseman at the tent of the renowned fortunetellers, the Witches of Winden. When she returns to her command and reports the incident to her superiors, she’s assigned her first Tracker mission–find and kill the Horseman or die trying. Without any clues as to his real identity, she pieces together where his trail leads, deep into the pirate stronghold of Riverton. There, she must go it alone, confronting danger and intrigue around every corner.

Today we have a sneak peek from the fantasy novel by Paul M Vander Loos, Three Stones of Destiny.

Mirrortac is found guilty of sacrilege against the god of his ancestral cousins, the roznogh, after he steals their most sacred object of power, the Werdstone. Worse, he later kidnaps its keeper in a mission to liberate three planets from enslavement by the god Yidu – a much revered deity of an alien master race. The key to his power lies in three mysterious stones, all of which connect to the Werdstone.

The Great Promise is journey into the hell of war, the hearts of the men engaging in battle, and the search for closure for those left in its wake. Intimately descriptive and bracingly honest it transcends the reader beyond the historical depiction of war, transporting them into the trenches through the use of compelling journal entries. It is also a story of a promise made between four friends prior to their first battle; a promise unkept for nearly one-hundred years, until a grandson attempts to fulfill it.

The Great Promise, the World War I historical book by Frederick L. Coxen, is available through Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble, and Amazon UK.
