“A satisfying work of fantasy and fate. Emma Buenen will keep readers engrossed and infused!”.
Rumour had it that Noesh would one day return with his sons and drive (The fallen angels) invaders out.
Thousands of centuries ago, set in the days before the great flood of the Bible. Fallen angels and their Earthborn prodigies are dominating humanity with impious, evil, and de facto power. After experiencing the gruesome murder of her mother. Sambeth, a young woman, escapes into the forests far from Arca, waiting for Pip, her shimerith dragon that she might escape forever. Arca was now controlled by a fallen angel called Proximus. While hiding in the forest, Sambeth unintentionally intrudes a ritual done for Proximus’s last son, Altor. After tearing to pieces, two of the three girls sacrificed to him. Altor finds Rija, the third, bold and attractive. He resolves to make her his woman before his father, Proximus, appears and a squabble erupts. Sambeth escapes unnoticed and steals Rija away from the ritual. After discovering that Rija was a princess, daughter to a slain king. Altor will do anything to get her back. Noesh’s family helps Sambeth and Rija and Sambeth develops a stylish romance with Sem, Noesh’s son. Proximus offers to help his son in the search with the belief that finding the girls would lead him to his prophetic opposition, Noesh, and help him uncover the secret Tetrahin stronghold inhabited by Noesh, his family and his people. In the heart of the dramatic pursuit, Emma is compelling in keeping readers engrossed in a pacing that can only lead to mysterious surprises, though slow in character development. Emma leaves with us a revelation that the young innocent Sambeth, our heroine that rides a shimerith dragon, is an Earthborn — daughter of a fallen one. An identity that signals to be a promise for the start of an exciting series.
