Falling: Book 1 of the Torian Trilogy
I don’t
think I’ll ever forget the sensation of falling.
Feathers. Silver feathers
littered the ground, but everyone just walked past them. Ari stopped and bent
to pick one up but it slipped through her fingers on the wind. A red stain was
left and she wondered what kind of bird would have been large enough to have
feathers that size. They were almost as long as her hand and several of them
had spots of blood. Ari followed the trail of feathers into the bushes off the
path. Behind some of the larger, unpruned bushes and trees was a beaten and
bruised body. But the only thing Ari could focus on were his long silver wings.
Ariadne Matthews is on a
normal training run when things go wrong. A trail of feathers leads her off the
sidewalk path into a small grove of trees and bushes to a man half dead in the grove.
If that isn’t strange enough, he has nine foot ebony wings and speaks through
telepathy. She goes with him to the hospital in the ambulance and learns that he’s
not a human in a costume.
Kaderon is an alien king
sent adrift in a spaceship to escape the Usurper, Heten, from killing him. Ari
volunteers to hide him while he fixes his communicator so he can return home to
a planet named Tora. Things go from bad to worse when Heten finds the remains
of his spaceship strewn across the atmosphere and threatens Earth with
annihilation unless they give up Kade. Can Ari and her friends protect Kade and
help him return to Tora to reclaim his throne? Or is Earth doomed?
I'm pretty excited about it. I even have the next two books outlined, though I'm not sure when I'll get to them since I still have The Sickness to edit and Falling to publish. I'll definitely post about it when it is on sale though!
Off to edit!
