431 Years of Death: The Origin

The future is not always beautiful. It's could be rather unpredictable, considering the precipice we are pushing our planet towards. What if a person dead today is reanimated then? She will face a raging planet and hostile humanity; fragmented by disputes of resources which are inadequate. Some will be powerful and endowed and will deprive the weak of them. There will be more 431 years after......It’s 2461 AD. Some 400 years ago a woman died of cancer. But technology revived life in her corpse. She finds herself waking up in a ship, on the Earth which is on the verge of extinction. Humanity has axed its own beautiful planet by exploiting it to an irreparable extent. Life has returned to her, but survival is a challenge. Darkness pervades, in the present world outside, in future, below the oceans as well as inside her own self. But she got her second chance because of a purpose which was forgotten with the past life, which is sealed in the time she lay dead for in the cryo. A fight among the instincts of survival, revival, betrayal, revenge and strength of soul. A battlefield set in the apocalyptic future. A war is waging between the atrocities outside and toxicities of the inside; the cruelty of the world outside and the suffering of the heart; a war between hatred outside and revenge inside; a story founding the basis of another world war. The future world turns out nothing as she expected but it is appalling. We'll but have to place the blame on ourselves. But we'll fight for life on our raging planet lost to the aftermath of global warming. The war begins right about now.....!!! This is the first book setting up the background for a battle ahead

Darkest Before Dawn

Hello Diary, Sorry, it’s been a while since I have been able to write. As you know, my dad is a modern-day Noah, always working on building his ark, trying to save folks and getting my brother and I ready for the impending end of days – whatever that means. One thing I did learn (the hard way), is that going through an apocalyptic event doesn't mean the end of the world. There was nothing in his prepper manuals that could prepare us for what actually happened. I had nothing to prepare me for Jaeden and Lachlan. Heck, I don’t know of any girl that would have been prepared for those two. There was nothing to prepare any of us for the things that go bump in the night, or the creatures who have been hiding in the background that emerged when civilization collapsed. No, an apocalyptic event is just a set-up for things in our world to be shaken AND stirred. What will come out of this mess, remains to be seen. I’ll give more details soon, gotta go… ~Emma Reader Advisory This is a paranormal urban fantasy with strong themes of violence and sexual situations that are only suitable for readers over the age of 18. If you do not like dark romance, this is not the book for you. There are no zombies in this book. It is adult.

The Scarlet Deep

On the waves of the North Atlantic, a poison spreads, sapping the life from humans and striking madness into immortals. Patrick Murphy, the immortal leader of Dublin, has been trying to stem the tide of Elixir washing into his territory, but nothing seems to stop the vampire drug. While others in the immortal world work to cure the creeping insanity that Elixir threatens, Murphy has been invited to London to join a summit of leaders hoping to discover who is shipping the drug. If Murphy and his allies can cut off the supply, they might be able to halt the spread long enough for a treatment to be found for the humans and vampires infected. Anne O’Dea, Murphy’s former lover, retreated from public life over one hundred years ago to help immortals in need… and to heal her own broken heart. Though powerful connections keep her insulated from the violence of vampire politics, even Anne is starting to feel the effects of Elixir on her isolated world. The human blood supply has been tainted, and with Anne’s unique needs, even those closest to her might be in danger. Not just from infection, but Anne’s escalating bloodlust. When Anne and Murphy are both called to London, they’re forced to confront a connection as immortal as they are. As they search for a traitor among allies, they must also come to terms with their past. Behind the safe facade of politics, old hungers still burn, even as an ancient power threatens the fate of the Elemental World.

Royal Obsession (Shadow Assassins 1)

Shadow Assassins, radical separatists created at the onset of the Great Conflict, have been made obsolete by years of peace. They live in their subterranean Shadow Maze and only emerge when it’s time to breed. For Varrik, the current commander, that time is now.Shadow Assassins, Book One: Radical separatists, created at the onset of the Great Conflict, have been made obsolete by years of peace. They live in their subterranean Shadow Maze and only emerge when it’s time to breed. For Varrik, that time is now.Varrik, current leader of the Shadow Assassins, knows his people are on the verge of extinction. If they cannot adapt, they will die. Yet if his son were a direct descendant of the High Queen it would secure a place for future generations. Protecting his people is his first priority, so Varrik assembles a hunting party and kidnaps the royal twins. He is determined to claim the eldest for his own.Echo, the younger princess, knows her pampered sister will never survive the sexual appetites of their virile captor. Echo doesn't understand the powerful attraction she feels for Varrik, but drawing his attention is a far better choice than allowing him to overwhelm her twin. She doesn't expect to find him fascinating or to crave the demanding passion he ignites. Can a dominating warrior and his willing captive bring light to the Shadow Maze?Note to Readers: This book contains detailed descriptions of sizzling passion only suitable for mature readers.From Cyndi: I introduced Shadow Assassins clear back in Taken by Storm. Tal mentions, almost in passing, that his mother was killed by one. Years passed as the concept churned away in the back of my mind. Who were the Shadow Assassins and what became of them after the Great Conflict? As I answered these questions, Royal Obsession was born. Then it became apparent that I didn't have one new book; I had a new series. Royal Obsession is part paranormal romance, part capture fantasy. It’s hot and unapologetically sexual. Varrik simply wouldn’t be tamed and Echo was more than happy to revel in his carnality. Though this story has sci-fi elements, it’s less space opera than my previous books. It’s always risky when an author shifts gears, but I hope you enjoy the new series!
