Etchings of Power (Aegis of the Gods Book 1) Oct 5, 2011

by Terry C. Simpson

( 34 )

$0.99

Death feeds life in Denestia. The world’s power corrupts those who wield it. Magics and creatures long thought dead rise again.

To the west, the armies of the shade marches, leaving carnage in their wake. In the east, the ruling Tribunal strives to maintain its stranglehold on its empire while bringing the rest of the ‘uncivilized’ world to heel under the guise of ‘enlightenment’ even as the independent kingdoms reel before the shade’s advance.

Caught in the middle are four:

Ryne Waldron, a living legend, driven near madness by his power and hunted by the Tribunal’s assassins and the shade, struggles to defend a village he swore to protect. Irmina Nagel, a Tribunal assassin bent on revenge, is sent to retrieve Ryne and must pass her final test even if it scars her for life. Ancel Dorn, a gifted student at the cusp of his power’s manifestation, has lost his way due to a love spurned, and now finds himself hunted by the shade and guided by a mysterious killer. Galiana Calestis, a Teacher, a Tribunal leader, is burdened by past failures and must manipulate any in her way to see the Chronicles come to pass and save her people.

Between warring nations, vengeful leaders, magic and steel, myth and men, the fate of the world hangs in the balance. Who shall unite the kingdoms? Who can bring the world’s power to heel? Who can walk the knife’s edge of harmony? If none can, then Denestia is doomed.

Still struggling with the loss of her parents, her feelings for Ancel, and her hate for Ryne, Irmina comes into her power as a Beasttamer, and is exposed to knowledge that could kill them all if the enemy sees through her act.
Meanwhile, the Nine continue to pull strings, and the armies of the Tribunal and Amuni’s Children march, their ultimate goal to see an end to Ancel and the Eztezians, and to breach the prisons of the gods.
But true to form in Denestia, many things are not what they seem.

Ancel Dorn has gained the first of his power. And now he’s a wanted man.

Ryne Waldron wants to teach him. The Nine want him to be taught before they kill him. Galiana Calestis wants him to live, and learn, and hopefully accomplish what she never was able to do: save their people. Irmina Nagel wants to love him again. Stefan Dorn, his father, wants him to lead and pave his own path.

The Tribunal and the shade want him dead.

All he wishes is to save his mother if she lives; rescue his father from the Tribunal’s clutches; find love again; help his people. And to learn how to harness his power before it drives him mad or kills him.

Cities will burn. The innocent will die. The dead shall rise. Nightmares will stalk the land. Guardians will wreak havoc.

Can he, Irmina, Galiana, and Ryne help to stem the tide? If so, at what cost?

Book 1: Game of Souls: Keedar, a young outcast, and Winslow, a count’s son, are set on opposite paths yet harbor the same dream: to become adept in soul magic. One, to escape the slums and seek justice for his mother’s murder and his persecuted people, the other, to revel in the glory of battle. When their paths cross, everything changes. Winslow’s father, Count Ainslen, employs a ruthless assassin and a barbarous enemy in pursuit of the throne.

To reverse the affliction, Aidah must traverse the land, avoid bounty hunters hired by a king who wants to steal Clara’s soul, invaders who want Clara dead, and gain help from a religious faction who would use the little girl’s power.

In Mike Costace's eyes, the world was already stacked against him. African-American, from the hood, a sick mother who could barely provide for him. The only good things in his life were college and the hustle.
To say he was an atheist might be an understatement. He scoffed at the supernatural and anything else supposedly not of this world.
As for God? What type of God would shower him with tragedy after tragedy?
So, Mike had his own plans now. They didn't involve the Bible, the Quran, the Tanakh, any other holy tome, or ghosts, goblins, succubi, fae, vampires, shifters, or any such ludicrous creatures.
He had his brain, his brother, Milli, and he knew how to make a buck. The plan was to pay his tuition, use his drug business to fund his legit business, save his mother's life, and never return to the hood.
But what are plans and a guy like Mike to the things that hide in the shadows at night?
Opportunity.
