Come discover a world forgotten!
EURUE, the first book in my Ancient Terra series, is now live *happy dance*
This is a standalone read, as all books in this series will be, but it does have characters familiar from my LORE series, along with new personalities.
At only 99c at the moment, there's no excuse not to grab a copy!
The universe is populated and many worlds are far-flung,
forgotten. Until the day Gabryl, a man both alive and dead, his body reposing
in a sarcophagus, his spirit roaming as a shifting being, bellows a call to
arms. Eurue, as world and civilisation, after ages of isolation, will now step
into the ultimate arena.
Tristan and Alusin of the Kaval hasten to answer the summons
to where tentacled miasmas are consuming people body and soul. Savier, as
Keeper of the sarcophagus, sheds light on an ancient legend. Tianoman, Vallorin
of the Valleur, brings the Valleur host to Eurue, and Emperor Teighlar of
Grinwallin pledges his army.
But how does one fight miasma?
Who is the true enemy?
Meanwhile, as the spaces become frantic, a woman in a turret
somewhere, elsewhere, plans her revenge. The schism between what went before
and the reality of the present presents to her the power to control the fate of
all.
Who will stop her?

AI and a brilliant review!
I received a wonderful review from S.S. Bazinet on her site! Thank you! Here it is, copy and pasted, because I want you to see all of it!!
Ancient Illumination

Description: Fire spews and ice
follows. The world Drakonis is near death and all life has fled. Except for
Brennan, the thief who hears mysterious directions to Castle Drakon on the
wind, and brothers Bastian and Cole, who choose to follow her. Then there’s
Halley, an exotic dancer from the burning cities, and Audri, who refuses to
speak.
These five are the last and it is their task to
ensure at least memory remains, or Drakonis will be eternally forgotten. To
ensure this, they must find Castle Drakon.
In a grotto under the ice they discover three
others alive and before the warmth of a fire hear of a mighty legend.
Unravelling its mysteries could lead to a way off a dying world. An ancient
light will illuminate their path.
Review: “So much more than just an
entertaining fantasy!”
“There are only five of us now. We are the last of
our kind.”
A great story teller needs to know how to hook the
reader immediately. And that’s why Elaina Davidson is fantastic at what she
does. As soon as I read the first two lines of the prologue of “Ancient
Illumination”, my mind raced with questions that needed answers. Who are these
five? How and why did the rest of their kind perish? And more importantly, will
the five survive until the end of the tale?
I’ve read some of the other reviews regarding this
book. Many of them are very well thought out and address how brilliantly
Davidson weaves a story with issues that have relevance in today’s world.
However, the idea of survival was the concept that held my attention. Survival
is a basic drive in any species. For the five people in this story, it’s
pivotal. If they perish, their kind will be lost forever.
However, when they are presented with the price of
survival, they have to consider the cost and what they’d have to give up to
survive. There is also a question of immortality and what one would sacrifice
for that immortality. Would living forever be something of value?
This is a beautifully written narrative that held
lots of surprises and kept me reading to the end. I won’t tell you what that
end is, but I will say that this story made me more aware of how lucky we are
to have the choices we have, that we can only survive as a species if we each
choose carefully and with a more enlightened approach to life.
Highly
recommended!
