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.
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.

We all have family. Some surround us. Some are gone. But we each come from some person that, regardless of our relationship with them, are family. For some of us, family might not be blood. They might be adopted into our emotional life and become like family. Others are adopted into our lives and we grow up with them. Some we love. Some we despise. Take a look at this short excerpt and see if you can determine which is which. The re-edit of "The Eyes of Tokorel" is under way. New passages. New material. Many things explained.
Book Excerpt
Khizara
Cloaked, hooded figures lurked on the edges of gray landscapes in Linsora’s dreams. When she turned to face them they would vanish, leaving behind the sound of laughter. Linsora chased the phantoms of Moragh and Karak and Gordek. In one dream she heard a voice behind her, taunting. One she had silenced in many dreams - one that had silenced her in many nightmares. One even her dream-self did not expect to find in this context. She spun to face him and he did not vanish immediately. He remained long enough to smirk. Her half-brother Yokosh.
