Seleman used to be a world where to be human was to be an anomaly. But now, with the human population outweighing that of the original inhabitants, the world has become a dangerous place for the Kingdom (those that hold the blood of animals in their veins) and those under the Golden curse (people with strange magic to their names). After the battles had finished raging the non-humans were banished to the north, though the feuds still burned and soon most were destroyed. Now the south flourishes with the human population as those that survived in the north struggle to get past the humans that still hunt on the abandoned streets of the once great cities. Alexis Scarrow is of the Kingdom, jackdaw blood pumping in her veins. She must escape, with her friend Hawk, who is under the Golden curse and holds the power of heightened speed and senses, and a group of other non-humans from the desolate city she has come to call home as it is invaded by the malicious humans. ......................................... The wonderful front cover was designed by Merdi2

Hunter called himself an archaeologist, but he was a modern day treasure hunter. Tiyana was a scientist devoted to her craft. They were passionate people, wholly devoted to their work. Neither of them had time for love. Neither of them could resist it when it happened. Neither of them knew that the world would need the two of them to save it from a tyrannical pre-historic overlord, his cyborg vampire paramour, and their army of mindless drudges. Dawn of the Epoch is an epic science fiction novel about dark matter, death rays, nuclear warfare, and the Large Hadron Collider, but it is also a fantasy novel about medieval warriors, alchemy, and ancient gods. Dawn of the Epoch blends fantasy with reality, bringing mythology to life today. It is also an apocalyptic thriller spanning the globe from the Pyramids of Egypt to the heart of Africa to the majesty of the Himalayas. It is an epic hybrid-genre story with intense action sequences, magic, mythology, suspenseful plot twists, countless obstacles for the protagonists to overcome, and an utterly Machiavellian supernatural villain. Testimonials: "Probably one of my favorite books I've read to date. Brilliantly complex, adoringly rendered and quizzically intense. A must read and one I plan to revisit, and share!" - Amgwatts, Wattpad Reader "This has to be one of the most original and well written novels I have had the pleasure to read, on Wattpad and in general. It was captivating, interesting, immersive and above all, fantastic. I was left in awe of the beings, history and world you created. It was never dull, dry or predicable and it was a nice change from what seems to be the ever popular teen romance with vampires or werewolves or 'bad boys that are actually romantic good boys.' In the end it was a very pleasant surprise." -IridescentLies, Wattpad Reader http://dawnoftheepoch.weebly.com
