Description

<p>New from the author of the multiple award-winning fantasy saga, <em>The Daughter of the Sea and the Sky</em>, winner of the <strong>Pinnacle Book Achievement Award, Fall 2014 - Best Book in the Category of FANTASY</strong>....</p><h1><strong><em>The Children of Darkness</em> by David Litwack</strong></h1><p>Evolved Publishing presents the first book in the new dystopian series <em>The Seekers</em>. [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. And don't miss David's award-winning speculative saga, <em>The Daughter of the Sea and the Sky</em></strong></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Tahoma, Arial;font-size:14px;line-height:normal;">Reviewed by Wen Lung for Readers' Favorite</span><br style="padding:0px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Tahoma, Arial;font-size:14px;line-height:normal;" /><br style="padding:0px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Tahoma, Arial;font-size:14px;line-height:normal;" /><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Tahoma, Arial;font-size:14px;line-height:normal;">It doesn’t take a genius to realize that relationships today are miles away from what they were decades ago. &quot;Sex Lies &amp; Alibis&quot; is a rather off-putting title for what would otherwise be a brilliant book. Dwain Boswell very accurately puts down into words over 10 years of uncensored observations of where typical relationships are heading, and trust me, things aren’t looking too optimistic. The book sheds insights into the relationship games that majority of us intentionally or unintentionally play, but if we were able to denounce, discern and dodge the game, half the battle is won. After all, if you picked up this book, what you are really interested in is a relationship for the long haul, not some ‘quickie with a sickie’. Dwain Boswell then teaches us a thing or two about setting the records straight right from the start with his A.F.I.E.M. approach. &quot;Sex Lies &amp; Alibis&quot; is heavily seasoned with apt biblical references to further endorse the beautiful journey from acquaintances to marriage. </span><br style="padding:0px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Tahoma, Arial;font-size:14px;line-height:normal;" /><br style="padding:0px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Tahoma, Arial;font-size:14px;line-height:normal;" /><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Tahoma, Arial;font-size:14px;line-height:normal;">This is the kind of book that is painfully honest, excruciatingly difficult to achieve (especially dependent on how accepting our society is), but oh-so-good for your mind, body and soul. I enjoyed the sincere approach this book took in addressing the truth in modern relationships. Sometimes it is difficult to recognize that some decisions aren’t lying in the grey area; it is either right or wrong. But society has made it so acceptable that these decisions become the standard. I believe that this book will make women stronger, men more virtuous, and society more discerning of the truth.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;"> </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;"><strong><span style="font-size:14pt;"><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman';">Public forum feedback for Sex Lies &amp; Alibis </span></span></strong></p> <p> </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;"><strong><span style="font-size:10pt;"><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman';">(Held between 2004 and 2011)</span></span></strong></p> <p> </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;"> </p> <p> </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;"> </p> <p> </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;"><strong><em><span style="font-size:11pt;"><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman';">&quot;I look at dating a whole new way now.
