EXCERPT
Chapter
1
Deep
within a hellish cavern, six towering beings merged from the depths
of its heated core and gathered at the opening. They were beautiful
creatures with physically striking features and the physiques of
warriors, clothed to resemble the upper crust of the society they
would soon infiltrate. Their eyes glowed with a fierce ember red
against the backdrop of a darkening sky.
“It’s
time we avenge our brother and bring this Council to its knees,”
one of them hissed.
“Your
arrogance will be the death of you, just like our brother, Luceph!”
another answered with a sinister laugh.
“Levia,
as the Master has told us, we must stop the boy first! Then we will
have our revenge.” That line of reasoning was offered by one of the
beings sitting on the ledge of a boulder at the entrance to the
cavern.
“Modeus,
you think you’re better than us?” Levia snapped at him.
In
a calm and compelling tone, he answered, “It’s not that I’m
better than you. We have a mission to see out.” He stood atop the
boulder, looking down at the rest of them. “This child, who is now
of age, has been delivered to abolish each one of us . . . and our
Master. The first thing we must do is—”
“Kill
him!” one of them interrupted.
Shooting
him a deathly stare, he snapped back, “To befriend him!”
“You
know he is trained to see who we really are,” Levia answered with a
snarl.
“Yes,
but we must only look at his friends and pick one who wants something
only we can offer. Once we have chosen someone to betray him, then we
will have our revenge.”
“And
what can we offer this friend?”
“We
simply give something back that’s been taken from them.” Modeus
smiled.
“And
I know the perfect person. I’ll handle it,” Levia replied. And
before any of the others could respond, Levia vanished, leaving a
brush of wind behind.
“He’ll
be the next to die!” Modeus rolled his eyes.

Levia
gathered two of his followers and descended on a small town nestled
beside a tranquil lake in the Ozark Mountains, a town the six demons
feared. Within this town rested the final graves that were intended
for the six demons—and one grave that already held their brother.
“How
appropriate that the Council chose this town for their savior to
live,” one of Levia’s followers replied.
“We’ll
have to pay Luceph a respectful visit before we leave,” Levia
replied as the three of them walked unnoticed onto the grounds of the
local high school. Invisible to the average eye, they wove their way
through the busy halls of students and teachers, searching for the
very person Levia wanted the most.
At
the head of the pack, he held out a hand to stop his followers.
“There!” He smiled and pointed to a student.
“That
student doesn’t look like anyone who could help us.”
“Oh,
yes, I’m sure of it. And with the right persuasion, I can make the
feeling of being robbed intensify to the point of desperation.”
Levia grinned and walked toward his next victim.

I like the cover for its simplicity. Nice blurb but I was really hoping for more about lacrosse.
ReplyDeleteHey Richard, lacrosse is Micah's sport. I wanted him to play a sport that doesn't get much attention and a few of my high school friends play and are pretty good.
DeleteThanks for being part of this blog tour!
ReplyDeleteSounds like there is a lot going on...supernatural, forces, fighting, romance, school, lacrosse. I like the shadowy figures in the background of the cover.
ReplyDeleteey Steph, there is a lot going on in the book just like the lives of our high schoolers. The cover captures part of the story. Let me know what you think of the story.
