Synopsis

Can a 200-year-old prophecy and a non-believer save two worlds from destruction?

Linsora Anselm is a Khizaran archeologist. She “hears” voices from the past, making her perfect for the job, but she’s stuck in prison after sticking up for her principles—that is, until a mysterious individual pays the guards to help her escape. How will she react when she discovers her champion is the devil incarnate?

When Permac breaks Linsora out of prison, he can’t understand why. He’s drawn to her… but she threatened to kill him more than once because she doesn’t trust his ability to sense and influence emotions. She believes he and his race are evil, and she could be right.

Forced together, they journey through the cosmos in search of historical facts they (and the rest of the galaxy) thought were correct. They discover pockets of truth on faraway planets—as well as a 200-year-old prophecy that seems to intertwine Linsora and Permacs’ destinies.

Through a galaxy of fate, love, deception, and the unknown, Permac and Linsora must learn to trust each other to protect their two worlds. Otherwise, the prophecy says war will annihilate everything in its path.

Khizara is an action-packed, adventure-filled space opera of mystery, love, archaeology, and bad guys that can control the emotions of others with a thought. If you’re a fan of Issac Asimov, Arthur C. Clarke, Ray Bradbury, or Frank Herbert, you’ll love this story.

Author Biography

Drew Bankston lives in the Rocky Mountains with his wife, two amazingly perfect dogs, and a garden.

Before he started writing science fiction, Drew received his bachelor’s degree in Bio-Ag Sciences from Colorado State University. After that, just to shake things up, he never really used that degree but worked various jobs in retail and Asset Protection with some really important people who are way too dignified to be named here. He’s still working but would eventually like to write full-time and stop working for other people. He likes pie and chocolate, as everyone should.

Beware

A recurring character in this series is the mysterious Moragh. It's difficult to tell if he's good or not so much. Sometimes he's helpful and at other times you just want him to go away. Making him go away, however, is difficult as he is quite powerful. He seems to be helpful at this moment so our main characters are listening intently and welcoming his advice, that is until he says one thing that strikes discord with Linsora. Take a look and see what you think in this short excerpt and please consider reading "Khizara" coming out in a few weeks!

Book Excerpt

Khizara

“Chikara? It’s fresh,” Permac said. He noticed Linsora eating the fruit and felt a pang that she was getting her first taste of it under less than ideal circumstances. He had envisioned presenting her with red ripe slices of chikara with great ceremony, to make up for not having any at their Sealing. “Moragh, the last time we met you told me to trust my instincts. Right now, my instincts are screaming. What are you doing here?”

Moragh paced the length of the room. “I told you I couldn’t be everywhere. And I also don’t know everything. I didn’t know the remains of a star chart had been left behind on Brachen. Once you were on the way, I couldn’t stop you. The most I could do was meet you here. From here, well,” Moragh spread his hands, “there’s a Tokorellan saying, do you know it? The universe has eyes and ways to touch your mind. Beware the lowly and the obscured. They will make you run in circles and will turn you inside out. Trust your instincts and your heart. It applies to you more than you know.”

Permac glanced at Linsora. She was listening to the conversation but seemed oddly detached. Permac realized she couldn’t taste influences while she was eating and the chikara was especially sweet.

“It’s nonsense, Moragh. You’re the lowliest and most obscure person I know. Are you telling me to beware of you?”
