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>

Story Behind The Book

Who doesn't love a hot cup of fragrant coffee? Coffee is a drink of life that warms you, wakens you, sobers and comforts you. My love of organic gardening and a passion for Hawaiian coffee led me to write this evocative and sensual story. Coffee is grown commercially in the islands of Hawaii, among the major growers--Maui, The Big Island (Kona region) and Kauai. I grew up a-sippin' on Kona coffee. Yes, started drinking the stuff when I was 11 years old! I would love to grow my own orchard of coffee (and macadamia nut) trees on my acre of island property someday. Since all of my books are seeded with some experience or knowledge of something I enjoy (ahem, all of my books deal with passionate, sexy relationships) I imagined a heroine who lived on an organic farm that grew vegetables and gourmet coffee on the island of Maui. Golden Falcone's property supplies estate coffee and fresh vegetables to local restaurants, and that's how she meets, and falls in love, with not one, but two incredibly sexy men--two brothers--one a millionaire, and the other a billionaire. When the father of her baby tragically dies, leaving Golden unwed and pregnant, she agrees to a marriage-of-convenience with Jiovanni Falcone to protect her baby's inheritance from his brother's greedy exes. She doesn't bargain on falling in love...with her own husband! Can she convince her billionaire groom to take a chance on his bargain bride?

Meader</p><p style="margin:0px 0px 1em;color:#333333;font-family:Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:21px;">Bargain Bride and Billionaire Groom delivered a two hour break from reality as page after page the story came alive that will leave the reader delighting in the feel-good feelings, lifted spirits, and with abounding hope that only a well thought out <a href="http://www.examiner.com/topic/romance" class="inline_link" style="color:#3e72a7;">romance</a> story could bring to a reader.</p><p style="margin:0px 0px 1em;color:#333333;font-family:Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:21px;">Forgotten were the daily responsibilities as the story brought an entertaining range of emotions: dismayed, charmed, enchanted, discouraged, hopeful, frightful, arousal, relieved and contentment.</p><p style="margin:0px 0px 1em;color:#333333;font-family:Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:21px;">From the beginning, the story captured its essences in <a href="http://www.examiner.com/topic/maui" class="inline_link" style="color:#3e72a7;">Maui</a>, the mystery in the visit, the complications of greedy people in life and the yearnings of a woman and a man.
