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.

Opposites Attract

When writing Khizara, I wanted to create characters who seemed real to life. Characters that we each could relate to. Linsora is a tough, knife wielding woman archeologist who loves ale and meat. Permac is a gentle, quiet, man who leans more toward the vegetable side of the food spectrum. Linsora uses knives to fight, while Permac uses a mental power to sense and influence the emotions of others. Being complete opposites, I hoped to develop an interesting relationship between the two and, hopefully, one that many can relate to.

Book Excerpt

Khizara

“I have a few plants; you have a little meat.” Linsora popped a chunk of meat into her mouth and winced as the spices hit the cut on her cheek. “Not bad. Anyway, Permac, I have to tell you something. When I woke up, I felt groggy, like I’d been sleeping a very long time, but I don’t think we had been. More than that, I could taste something. Not something sweet, though. It was … I can’t describe a taste very well. But in a way, it was similar to when you influenced my emotions. When you were trying to influence the Carratians, I caught a slight taste of the sweetness from your influence. This other taste was different.”
