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.

Book Excerpt

Khizara

There was another explosion, and the hole that had been well behind them widened like a maw, now nearly overhead again—an eye blinking back at them with malice. A living creature intending to end their lives. Linsora and Permac hunched close to the wall. The wires they had just pushed through smoldered and sparked in a frenzied dance of light and smoke. Permac’s heartbeat raced faster than the pulsing light and sounded louder than the blasts.

Then, with a slow shudder, the gaping eye closed as their ceiling tilted and began to collapse into their enclosed area. A large piece of the floor from above folded down over them. The hard stone wall lost some support and toppled inward, leaving Permac and Linsora in a tiny triangular space. Had the two pieces not fallen in perfect synchrony, the large pieces of structure would have crushed them. But now, even sound was muted in the sudden profound darkness of this small space. Permac only heard the roar of his heart. The air was full of powder, chips of wood, and dust.
