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.

Benefactor

Having someone to help us through difficult times can be a blessing and a curse depending on who they are and what their motivations are. In this short excerpt from my upcoming book, "Khizara" the main character, Linsora, is being transported from her prison cell to a mysterious benefactor who has arranged for her early release.The guards who are transporting her seems to be happy they'll be rid of her, but who knows what awaits her and who this benefactor is. Could he be any worse than the prison she's leaving?

Book Excerpt

Khizara

“Where are you taking me?” It was all she could do to resist throwing a fist in this man’s face, let alone keep her volume at a civilized level—and it must’ve shown in her eyes, or the way her hands balled up in her restraints, or her posture, because the guard’s response was prompt and clear.

“We’re taking you to your benefactor.”

“What do you mean, my benefactor?” She thought they were taking her somewhere to disappear. Perhaps she misunderstood the Carratian accent.

“Your benefactor is the person interested in getting you out of that Carratian prison,” the guard replied, and her brows bolted toward her hairline. Somebody was rescuing her? “He wants you brought to him. He has an interest in your well-being. Why anyone would want that is beyond me, but you can ask him about that yourself when we bring you to him. Once we drop you off, he is welcome to you.” The guard reached down and rubbed his shin where Linsora had kicked him in her cell.
