[BOOK THREE OF "The Immortal Chronicles"] [ADVENTURE FANTASY NOVEL] As tension in the civil war increases, conflict arises within the tundra of the Southern Wastelands where Attus Sally is being kept captive, and his wife is taken under the custody of his disbanded group of sailors. Finley Orfin, the savior of Miriem Sally, struggles with the inter turmoil of being isolated in the mountains, and suffering under the weight of her fallen comrades. All the while, Beck Dedrick's homicidal tendencies elevate due to his current state of mind. He craves vengeance, and plots to do so with his unhealthy, paradoxical obsession to shed Vene's blood. The truth behind General Myron Conroy's plans becomes exposed as Aleron's loyal follower finds her place in this war. Determined to bring everlasting life to her master, Neox threatens to undo the cover Beck holds in the face of his General the moment he takes a step out of Myron Conroy's favor, and turns returns to his bloody conscience, unbound by General Conroy's rules. Throughout the course of "The Immortal Chronicles", the four characters exhibited in this book confront one another through a strangely unexpected turn of events circling around the lore of the prelude: "Avarice of the Sea". IT IS SUGGESTED YOU READ THE SECOND BOOK "The Immortal Chronicles" BEFORE SKIPPING AHEAD TO THIS ONE.

[ #JustWriteIt - #WattyAwards2014 - #NaNoWriMo ] Princess Maxine's family suffered the heartbreak of her mother's kidnapping years ago, but it's in the past... or so they thought. There's more to her kidnapping than Maxine ever knew, and it's become painstakingly evident that she's next, especially after a pirate attack that led to her disappearance. If only she knew why. Among the confusion of being forced prisoner, no one dares speak a word to her of what Captain Avarice has planned, and her mother is a topic that none of the pirates would touch with a ten foot pole. It's agonizingly obvious that whatever Avarice has planned, it's far more terrible than anything Maxine would even consider. Crossed between her desire to go home, and a growing appreciation for life on the sea, Maxine finds herself falling for two men at once, befriending the crew, and stuck in a rut where tensions grow high around the conflicts she faces. Amid danger and romance, Maxine's life is about to make a turn-for the worse or for the better? [CHECK OUT THE TRAILER!]
