5 Day Excerpt - Ilfin of Arc
One
hand continued to radiate, throwing a tiny circle of light upon her breast as
Lyra held it raised in preparation. Preparation for what? Staring at her
fingers, she concentrated. Now was the time for control, even a little of it.
Gradually the glow spread and she saw beyond her feet. A shiny floor greeted her
first step away from the doors. There was no dust. She expected dust in a space
as old as this.
A
lantern squatted on a square table directly before her, becoming visible as she
took another step. As she closed in, an arc of yellow sparks hurtled from her fingers
to the lantern, causing it to burst into brilliance.
A
hefty tome rested beside the lantern. Was this the book of souls Sassen had
referred to? The one containing the names of other supplicants?
Heaving,
she jerked her hand in, closing it into a fist. Her fingers were cold, as if recently
immersed in ice water. After the heat, it was beyond agony. There was no glow
either.

"... utterly transfixing to read!"
Due to Amazon's review nonsense, 3 of my reviews posted for Ilfin of Arc have been removed :(
Soooo ... here's one I haven't been able to share with the relevant link, but did receive for all of 5 minutes online. It's a good one!!
The story is personal, an ongoing unveiling of who Lyra really is, who her sweet marsh devil is, and who her brother is, and the repercussions are epic. This is an epic adventure tale, full of war and blood and ‘magic’, and it was utterly transfixing to read. I couldn’t put it down. Full stars!

From the get go this novel grabs. I didn’t read the blurb at
all, I just jumped in not knowing what to expect other than it’s fantasy /
sci-fi. Wow! The characters are so real, it feels like you slip out of your
skin and into someone else's, and the action is non stop. Lyra searches for her
fiancé because calamity is coming, speeding swiftly for Massin, but she is a
simple country girl and now she’s in the city of Nomur looking for 1 man amidst
thousands. The odds are not in her favour, and on top of that she has the curse
of mismatched eyes. People don’t like her kind and she faces death if she looks
for him in the wrong places. This tale is swift, it doesn’t loiter or slow,
within pages she’s found him, her sweetheart who is now known as the Marsh
Devil.
Danger is all around, the highborn are attacking the
lowborn, flood is coming and the land and squatters are being washed away, they
run for their lives through deluge and cold and rain and mud and sewer and
tunnel, there are creatures hanging underneath bridges screaming awful sounds,
all hell is breaking loose, and then you’re in the thick of this novel and you
couldn’t stop reading if you tried. the pace is so fast it’s hard to put down,
but you have to because it’s over 500 pages long and yet instead of the drama
lulling for you to catch your breath it gets worse and more serve with every
page consumed.
In a mass exodus from all across the planet people flee
slavery and homes from marauders who enslave. Lyra goes home to rescue her
brother but her entire town is dead. Every moment is full of shock and horror
and all while the planet is about to suffer fatal impact. the only way to keep
them safe is to get to the ARC. Lyra discovers she has talents that are
miraculous, giving safe passage to thousands, and yet the danger never ceases.
The ARC is not what it seems, nothing is at it seems. Armies fill the sky with
technology never seen on Massin, and the true battle begins.
The story is personal, an ongoing unveiling of who Lyra really is, who her sweet marsh devil is, and who her brother is, and the repercussions are epic. This is an epic adventure tale, full of war and blood and ‘magic’, and it was utterly transfixing to read. I couldn’t put it down. Full stars!
Thank you, Mo!

Review: Lessons Learned Cleaning The Floor by Gratitude Girl
It is true that when we are engaged in menial tasks, such as
washing dishes, our thoughts tend to roam. Usually our thoughts are about other
tasks that need attending to or about our kids, even reminding ourselves to
feed our furry children. Sometimes our thoughts move to wishes and dreams, the
what-if, or we look ahead to an expected event.
Now, imagine washing the floor, a bleh task. It takes a
chunk of time and therefore our thoughts are elsewhere for a fair period.
Imagine opening up to the messages of love surrounding us all the time,
messages we are often oblivious to. Imagine listening to those messages … and
then understanding they are in fact lessons about ourselves.
This book is exactly that. Lessons about self. Who we are,
where we fit in, how we are able to empower ourselves, and what makes us, each
and every one of us, so special. It’s so easy to achieve awareness and yet we
tend to remain oblivious; this book will give wings to your musings while
washing the floor and lead you to knowing and believing that you are LOVE.
I was literally floored (ha!) and then I soared! I. Am.
Love.
Read it NOW!
