“On this day, I am taking control of our collective destiny. The future of our world will be mine to decide, as I wish it to be. From this point forward, you will worship me as your God. You will abolish all churches, all synagogues, all mosques. From now on, I will be answering the prayers. I will be performing the miracles. There will be no more war, no more sickness, no more disease – I will control everything.”
One cold day in 2012, Regan Roberts, a loving wife and mother of two beautiful daughters, wakes to find she has a special gift. What start out as parlor tricks and small illusions, quickly blossom into full blown miracles. As the world discovers more about Regan's powers, her ego grows - and so does the fear of the people.
If you have the power of God, but the ego of man, that's a recipe for disaster. As religious sects and the military step in to stop her, the world quickly finds that she is the most powerful being that has ever existed. And there is no safe place to hide.
Secondhand God explores what happens when the inevitable height of human potential is reached. A little bit urban fiction, a little bit fantasy with a twist of the paranormal, this tale takes us on a rollercoaster ride of action, murder, adventure, religion and the true power of love.

Secrets Hidden In Time (Time #1 Book#1) (✓ )
| 'Time' Series | | Time#1 : Book One of The 'Secrets Duology' | *** The workings of her brain were a mystery to her own pneuma. That's what Hinduja Rao always thought. But, quite similar to her thoughts about her own self, was someone else around her. Her newly wedded husband, the sovereign of the Dogra Empire, Mahadevan Dogra. A man who possessed the might to guard even shadows. To the people who knew, theirs was a simple marriage. But was it really? Together, they stand in the murky twilight, enshrouded by a dense layer of fog, with their toddler securely tucked within their protective hold. But, once the fog sheds, they must hunt for a coin, a coin of two sides, embossing realities that are enough to destroy everything they have steadily built around themselves. The twist? Mahadevan knows what his side of the coin has to say, Hinduja doesn't. Moreover, is everything exactly as it appears to be? Or, all along, what awaits at the end is, in fact, an illusion indeed. *** Note - With all intents and purposes, Secrets Hidden In Time is a slow-burn e-novel in terms of romance, mystery, and the psychological thriller quotient of it. Kindly be patient.Completa
