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.

As I've re-edited the first book in the Tokorel series, I've been able to add new scenes, write new dialogue, create new questions, and answer old ones. I believe you're going to love the increased action, the suspense, the characters old and new, and how it will grip your emotions and not let them go until the end. Please read this short excerpt and see what you think of this first look at a new chapter being added to the book, and watch for the launch of the Eyes of Tokorel coming in September 2023.
Book Excerpt
Khizara
Linsora listened and could hear a key quietly insert into the lock and the rusted tumblers squeal and click as the key turned. She prepared her body to fight. She had heard rumors of prisoners who would mysteriously vanish in the night. Most of those were trouble makers. If she were honest with herself, Linsora knew she wasn’t a model inmate but didn’t think she was rebellious enough to warrant disappearance.
