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.

Linsora is a suspicious person. She trusts no one until she gets to know them, and that process can take a while! This is one of her first meetings with the antagonist in book one, and she rightfully shuts him down before he even gets started talking. Have yo ever felt like that with someone? Please enjoy this short excerpt and check out "Khizara: Book one in the Tokorel Series."
Book Excerpt
Khizara
Linsora scowled and planted her feet firmly, hands on her hips. Her jaw jutted toward Gordek. “You say that as though it was a positive attribute. You’re not the first person to suggest we should leave Hakai, and that, interestingly enough, is a rather compelling reason to stay. Except for Permac, I have not met one Tokorellan I would trust. I trust Permac with my life and my mind. I will continue to do so. But”—she indicated Gordek with an outstretched arm—“I do not trust you. And should I begin to trust you, the trust will be suspect since one of you probably placed it in my mind. And I care little for your assurances otherwise.”
