[DRM-Free]</p><h2><strong>[Dystopian, Science Fiction, Post-Apocalyptic, Religion]</strong></h2><p><em>“But what are we without dreams?”</em></p><p>A thousand years ago the Darkness came—a terrible time of violence, fear, and social collapse when technology ran rampant. But the vicars of the Temple of Light brought peace, ushering in an era of blessed simplicity. For ten centuries they have kept the madness at bay with “temple magic,” and by eliminating forever the rush of progress that nearly caused the destruction of everything.</p><p>Childhood friends, Orah and Nathaniel, have always lived in the tiny village of Little Pond, longing for more from life but unwilling to challenge the rigid status quo. When their friend Thomas returns from the Temple after his “teaching”—the secret coming-of-age ritual that binds young men and women eternally to the Light—they barely recognize the broken and brooding young man the boy has become. Then when Orah is summoned as well, Nathaniel follows in a foolhardy attempt to save her.</p><p>In the prisons of Temple City, they discover a terrible secret that launches the three on a journey to find the forbidden keep, placing their lives in jeopardy, for a truth from the past awaits that threatens the foundation of the Temple. If they reveal that truth, they might once again release the potential of their people.</p><p>Yet they would also incur the Temple’s wrath as it is written: “If there comes among you a prophet saying, ‘Let us return to the darkness,’ you shall stone him, because he has sought to thrust you away from the Light.”</p><p><strong>Be sure to read the second book in this series, <em>The Stuff of Stars</em>, due to release November 30, 2015.

Story Behind The Book

I was writing Goldeneyes, and had run into a massive wall of writer's block. I heard about Nanowrimo, and thought maybe a break would be just the thing to help out. So I laid aside my work-in-progress and started writing, with absolutely no idea what I'd write about. No plan. No outline. No plot. Just a location...Yosemite National Park. From that, God helped me come up with THIS. I hope you love it!

Reviews

Rating: You GOTTA Read <br />Reviewed by: MarthaE<br />You Gotta Read Reviews<br /><br />&quot;This story grabs your attention and doesn’t let go!&quot; &quot;The story moves along quickly as you wait to see how God will work things out for these two characters. Hannah’s steadfast faith, even laced with some natural doubt and human struggles, is wonderful to read. The romance that is revealed is warm and beautiful. This is just a superb story and I have added Ms. Latham to my “must read” author list! &quot;<br /><br />Reviewed by: Cindy K. Green <br /><br />Ms. Latham captures the heart in this wonderful book. Emotions run high in this highly charged story. A story and characters which linger in your mind long after it is finished. It had interesting turns and twists I wasn't expecting. An original story I thoroughly enjoyed. It's rare for any book to touch me to such a level as Yesterday's Promise. Thank you. Delia Latham, for such a special story...<br /><br /><br />Reviewed by: R. Bayne, Romance Author <br /><br />I love reunion stories, especially when the reason for the separation is unique. This is a quick, compelling read I highly recommend...<br /><br /><br />Long and Short Reviews<br />Rated Best Book<br />Reviewed by Orange Blossom <br /><br />Yesterday’s Promise is a reunion love story, my favorite kind. Lovely readable style that captures you within the first few pages. I must comment on the flashback sequences. Most authors love to include these kinds of scenes and more often than not, they are unnecessary and slow down the flow of the story. The flashback scenes in this book were done with such poignancy and beauty that I couldn’t imagine the story without them. Very well done. This is the kind of book to curl up with and continue reading all afternoon. I absolutely loved it. The characters, the writing—all beautifully done. Such an emotional tale tenderly told. Tell your friends, tell your family. They will want to read this book.
