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.

When I created the character of Permac, I wanted him to do something no one else could do. He, and his people, have the ability to sense and mentally influence the emotions of others. Imagine if you could make someone trust you with a simple thought. Or cause a potential attacker to feel fear. Or make a potential employer feel so good about you that no matter how badly you did in an interview, you got the job. But Linsora can taste it when he tries to influence her and will not tolerate his attempts. Now, the tables are turned. I hope you enjoy this excerpt.
Book Excerpt
Khizara
Permac felt the all too familiar tingle in the back of his skull that indicated someone was intruding on his emotions. Tokorellans experienced this when other Tokorellans were rude enough to check their emotions. This time was different, though. It felt more powerful. His head spun, whiplashed by an onslaught of rapidly changing emotions that felt artificial and forced and left him feeling dizzy and somewhat sick to his stomach. He was certain that someone was trying to influence him, and it was someone with more power than he had ever felt. Was this what it was like to be on the other end of his abilities?
