Now the Blessed Lands are ruled by pure faith, while in the Republic, reason is the guiding light—two different realms, kept apart and at peace by a treaty and an ocean.</em><br style="color:rgb(24,24,24);font-family:Georgia, serif;font-size:13.63636302947998px;line-height:17.563634872436523px;" /><br style="color:rgb(24,24,24);font-family:Georgia, serif;font-size:13.63636302947998px;line-height:17.563634872436523px;" /><span style="color:rgb(24,24,24);font-family:Georgia, serif;font-size:13.63636302947998px;line-height:17.563634872436523px;">Children of the Republic, Helena and Jason were inseparable in their youth, until fate sent them down different paths. Grief and duty sidetracked Helena’s plans, and Jason came to detest the hollowness of his ambitions.</span><br style="color:rgb(24,24,24);font-family:Georgia, serif;font-size:13.63636302947998px;line-height:17.563634872436523px;" /><br style="color:rgb(24,24,24);font-family:Georgia, serif;font-size:13.63636302947998px;line-height:17.563634872436523px;" /><span style="color:rgb(24,24,24);font-family:Georgia, serif;font-size:13.63636302947998px;line-height:17.563634872436523px;">These two damaged souls are reunited when a tiny boat from the Blessed Lands crashes onto the rocks near Helena’s home after an impossible journey across the forbidden ocean. On board is a single passenger, a nine-year-old girl named Kailani, who calls herself “the Daughter of the Sea and the Sky.” A new and perilous purpose binds Jason and Helena together again, as they vow to protect the lost innocent from the wrath of the authorities, no matter the risk to their future and freedom.</span><br style="color:rgb(24,24,24);font-family:Georgia, serif;font-size:13.63636302947998px;line-height:17.563634872436523px;" /><br style="color:rgb(24,24,24);font-family:Georgia, serif;font-size:13.63636302947998px;line-height:17.563634872436523px;" /><span style="color:rgb(24,24,24);font-family:Georgia, serif;font-size:13.63636302947998px;line-height:17.563634872436523px;">But is the mysterious child simply a troubled little girl longing to return home? Or is she a powerful prophet sent to unravel the fabric of a godless Republic, as the outlaw leader of an illegal religious sect would have them believe? Whatever the answer, it will change them all forever… and perhaps their world as well.</span></p>
Evin Driscol is not just a historical writer but a vampire who writes on supernaturals and their impact on human history. He is loved by some, hated by others, and tolerated by most. Though sharing knowledge of his own kind is pushing the fine line, Evin continues to write about supernatural history while exploring his own. Evin is ending his “Vampires and the Roaring Twenties” book tour in Chicago, his hometown. Just as things seem to be falling into place for Evin, his life is turned upside down when his own history threatens to repeat itself.

Just as I thought everything had been done in the world of writing about vampires, Randi Ertz proves me wrong." </span><strong><span style="font-size:12px;">~Christina Allen</span></strong></span></span><div><span style="line-height:normal;font-size:small;"><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-size:12px;"><br /></span></span></span></div><div><span style="line-height:normal;font-size:small;"><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-size:12px;">"</span></span></span><span style="line-height:normal;font-size:small;"><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-size:12px;">Kept me interested the whole time, I couldn't wait to find out what happened, but now an sad that I'm done!" </span><strong><span style="font-size:12px;">~Diane Kramer</span></strong></span></span></div><div><span style="line-height:normal;font-size:small;"><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-size:12px;"><br /></span></span></span></div><div style="font-size:11px;"><span style="line-height:normal;font-size:small;"><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-size:12px;">"</span></span></span><span style="line-height:17px;font-size:12px;color:#333333;"><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-size:12px;"> You got a bit of </span></span><em><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-size:12px;">Twilight</span></span></em><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-size:12px;"> with the ability to walk around in the daylight and not have to drink from humans (notice I said "have to"...doesn't mean they prefer it that way).
