The Divinity of Anila

The Divinity of Anila

The Musings Book 1

by Cloud S. Riser

Genre: YA Paranormal

 

–My name is Anila. Up until a few days ago, I thought I was just like

every other teenage girl. Seriously, life was awesome. I was popular,

had great grades, and was on my way to getting a scholarship to one

of the top universities in the state. Then my boyfriend decided to go

crazy on me, and I end up in a car with some other guy who claims

magic is real. Crazy, is what I say. Pretty sure he’s out of his

mind. I–

–Hold on a minute, Nila is not giving me a fair chance. The name is Bailey,

and I’m not crazy. I’m a Muse. And so is she. That’s why her

boyfriend got uber possessive on her. Muses inspire the best in

others, and without control over their magic, a Muse can be pretty

addictive to hang around.

Which is why I’m here, to teach Nila how to control that magic so she

doesn’t cause any more problems with the every day humans. See–

–I hate how he says every day humans like I’m not one of them. Oh, and

get this, I apparently can’t touch him, even just a tiny bit, because

we might create magical sparks…or something?–

–Look at all the things she doesn’t know about being a Muse. The sparks

help us find our soul mate. Do I need to explain why I don’t need her

touching me right now? We just met. Besides, it’s common courtesy.

Keep your hands to yourself.

The Soul Guide Series

Secrets and Souls

Prequel to The Soul Guide

by Kelly Stock

Genre: Urban Fantasy

 

Set forty years before The Soul Guide, this is a story of Bertram and

Mellissa… 

“You think I don’t know that you’re keeping secrets from me? I am not

the only liar here…”

The last thing Bertram expected after his grandfather’s death was to

find himself the owner of Clayhill Manor, a decrepit mansion with

little going for it other than musty rooms filled with moth-eaten

furniture and mice. But at least he gets to maintain the solitary

life he’s used to. That is, until red-headed beauty, Mellissa,

walks into his home and changes his life forever.

With one touch of her hand, Bertram finds himself part of world he never

knew existed. Where he is the Caretaker, and Mellissa the Soul Guide.

Where doors appear out of nowhere and he’s the only one who can see

them.

Together they must face a strange new world hidden just beneath the surface. A

world which contains the pure of soul and malevolent creatures that

lurk in the dark.

But Mellissa holds secrets within her, secrets that hurt her heart. With

a past that she’s unwilling to share with a man who is falling in

love with her, can they put their feelings aside and fulfil their

roles or will her secrets tear them apart?

Apart they are weak, together they are stronger, and the Mephisto are

always watching.

The Soul Guide Series Book 1

 

When university student Sybil is stung by a bee in the middle of a winter

snowstorm, she finds herself chosen as the latest Soul Guide. With

only a few days to reach the Veil; the place of souls, and complete

the Passing Over ceremony, she begins to question everything she ever

believed to be true. But dark forces will stop at nothing to prevent

Sybil from fulfilling her destiny. Struggling with such a huge

responsibility, and afraid for her life, Sybil has no choice but to

put her trust in two complete strangers. 

Meet Bertram, the Caretaker. Despite his anguish at losing the love of his

life, he has a job to do. Sybil is his responsibility now. He must

guide her to the Veil – no matter the cost.

Then there’s Alec, who’s drawn to Sybil the moment he lays eyes on

her. Overcome by the sudden need to protect her, Alec will risk his

life to ensure her safety. Or does he have darker designs…?

Can the reluctant Soul Guide, the grieving Caretaker, and the obsessive

stranger work together? Only one thing is certain: the future of both

Earth and the Veil hang in the balance, and the dark are

rising.

Reviews:

“I’ve just finished the soul guide and I’m feeling very impatient for book

2! This is a great fantasy read, intriguing, with characters you

really want to know more about! It’s hard to believe this is the

author’s first novel, there’s so much detail and depth to the

characters and story. Well worth a read.”

 

“Wow! I could not put this book down. The way Kelly writes encaptures you

and takes you to another place. Her vivid imagination and the way she

describes every detail enables you to picture in your mind being

there with Sybil on this spiritual journey. It only took me two days

to read and I can’t wait for the next instalment to see what happens

next.”

“This book, well written and with a great story line, had me hooked from

the start and I can’t wait for the next one in the series.”

“The Soul Guide is a unique, fast-paced, beautifully-written book.

Immediately it sucked me in, and it was hard to put down. Kelly Stock

has woven together a story with interesting characters and a truly

imaginative plot. In a way, reading this felt like gazing upon

beautiful artwork. Every chapter revealed a new layer of the story,

intriguing me further and making me even more curious about what was

to come. What a treat this book was to read!”

 

 

Tortured Souls

The Soul Guide Series Book 2

Releases October 21st!

 

Still reeling from the secrets revealed within the Veil, Sybil finds

herself getting more than she’d ever bargained for. Having to manage

her new gifts is hard enough let alone having to cope with the

barrage of memories that aren’t even her own. 

Could becoming the Soul Guide be the biggest mistake of Sybil’s life or her

bravest decision yet? She couldn’t tell you, to busy dealing with the

responsibility that her new role brings and avoiding the growing

residents of Clayhill to find out. 

And yet, hiding away isn’t an option. 

With the arrival of terrified young Estelle, Sybil is forced to face

reality and become the warrior she was destined to be. There are far

worst things happening beyond the safety of Clayhill and she doesn’t

have the option of turning a blind eye, especially when the ‘worst

things’ involve her own beloved dad. 

With Estelle’s revelations, action must be taken. Can the unlikely group

work together to save the children locked away in the depths of the

Masters home or will the Mephisto succeed in tearing them apart? Read

book two of The Soul Guide series to find out.

In Tortured Souls, alliances are made, friendships are forged, hearts

are broken and the battle of light versus dark has truly begun.

A Decade of Visionsby Cameron RamsesGenre: Historical LGBT Romance

 

Born to a single mother in Dust Bowl-era Nebraska, Roy Manger learns to

deny his true self from an early age. The rural Midwest is no place

for a boy who wears girls’ clothes for fun—let alone for one who

suffers gruesome hallucinations. It is only when he leaves home that

he can embrace his true identity, spending his days as Roy and his

nights as Raina, working as an escort in a ritzy Chicago bordello.

But after a run-in with the law, Roy is torn between extremes: to

live as a man or as a woman; to ignore his grief or struggle to

accept it; to suppress his visions or seek to understand them. With

the support of Woodrow, a convict with a murky past, Roy will have to

come to terms with the fact that, in life, all of the greatest joys

must come from within—and the greatest dangers, too.

A Decade of Visions contains adult content suitable for mature readers

only. There are also instances of graphic gore and period typical

homophobia.

Issaura’s ClawsIncarn Saga Book 1by Katharine WibellGenre: YA Fantasy

 

“According to legend, when the world was young, the goddess Issaura appeared

among men. Those who treated her with kindness received the gift of

the gods—the ability to transform into an animal form. This was a

great honor but one that separated this race from other humans.

Before Issaura departed the mortal realm, she promised to return if

her people were ever at the point of destruction.

“Now a threat is rising from a land across the mists of the ocean, a

threat that will push this race to the brink of extinction.

Responding to the call to war, seventeen-year-old Lluava heads off to

find her destiny, one that will carve her name in history.” 

The Kingdom of Elysia consists of two races: the dominant race of humans

and the native race of Theriomorphs who can shift into animal form.

Although law dictates equal treatment, they neither like nor trust

each other. Now brutal and ruthless Raiders are approaching; there is

only one chance to defeat them. An army must be raised and trained.

An army where each human will be paired with a Theriomorph partner.

An army that must fight as one to defeat their common enemy.

Women are not warriors. However, Lluava is not like other women – human

or Theriomorph. Her animal form is a magnificent beast whose power

and fury she must learn to control. Although Lluava endures intense

physical training and strives to overcome the doubts of the male

recruits, she faces an unexpected adversary in the commanding general

who seeks to break both her spirit and her body.

At the paring ceremony, Lluava is humbled when presented with a unique

and ancient weapon. Yet she becomes distraught and angry when her

human partner is revealed. If they fail to trust each other, the

consequences will be devastating. Death and destruction are on the

horizon and time is running out.

The Incarn Saga is a young adult fantasy series inspired by ancient

myths, filled with fast-paced action and adventure, and enriched by

an understanding of animal behavior that defines the shape-shifting

Theriomorphs.

Mercer University in both art and psychology with an emphasis in

animal behavior, Wibell moved to New Orleans with her dog, Alli, to

kick start her career as an artist and a writer. Her first literary
