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.

<strong><font size="2">2011 Grace Awards Finalist in Mystery/Suspense Category!</font></strong><br /><span></span><br /><strong>'Top Pick' from Night Owl Reviews</strong> - &quot;This book was awesome. The story line was phenomonal. Anne Patrick has definitely out done herself with this book. She takes the Christian reading genre to a whole new height. Keep up the good work, and I can't wait to read the next one in this new series.&quot;<br /><br /><a href="http://www.theromancestudio.com/reviews/reviews/killshotpatrick.htm"><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Five Hearts from The Romance Studio</span></strong></a> - &quot;Although I'd read book two of this series first, I couldn't wait to read this one and I've got to say it didn't disappoint. The plot was captivating, and ensnared my attention from the beginning with Kory having to escape a tricky situation without getting herself killed. Good thing she was so resourceful, using her training in the Army to help her in her endeavour to get away...<span style="line-height:normal;font-family:Tahoma, sans-serif;font-size:10pt;">Overall, Ms. Patrick has written a really impressive tale in this one that I just had to read after reading the second one in this series. And now I'm eagerly awaiting the third installment of this incredible series, which is going to feature Kory's best friend Drew from her time in the Army.&quot; ~ Reviewed by Bec</span><br />
