GHBT- Daughter of Light Trilogy by Heidi Garrett - Excerpt



Isolt’s Enchantment: the beginnings
Daughter of Light Trilogy #0.5
By- Heidi Garrett
Genre- YA Fantasy/Faerie Tales


Long before the half-faerie Melia was born in the mortal world, the god Vulcan married Isolt of the Waters. When she betrayed him, the seeds of a great war were planted in the Void.


In Idonne, a young scholar studies Isolt’s story, along with tales of dwarf magic and the birth of a malevolent entity in the Void, Umbra. The stories awaken his dream of a life filled with adventure and heroism.


  

And here is an excerpt -

It’s true I fell in love with Isolt of the Waters. But for me, this didn’t happen in her youth when she graciously bubbled and flowed upon Una’s fecund belly. I didn’t even exist then. But I can assure you, if I had, she wouldn’t have caught my eye in those days. It’s a matter of taste. Personally, I find the untested, the unwounded, the undamaged, dull.

Bring me the scourged, the broken, the failed in their existence. Bring me their remnants, the bones and enduring fragments of their passionate desires. Fired in the flames, I only want what has hardened and set. I don’t trust or have faith in anything else.

I am Umbra, the darkest part of the shadow. Born of mortal ash, I dwell in the Void, incorporeal.

Resistance
Dolan Prophecies Series #1
By- Allana Kephart & Melissa Simmons
Genre- New Adult Dark Fantasy/Dystopian
Expected Publication Date- July 27th, 2015

The year 2102--the world as it was no longer exists. Ravaged by nuclear war and polluted almost to the point of no return, Earth was dying. When the faeries came and brought their healing magic, humanity was grateful at first. Centuries of damage repaired in just five years, and during the course of that rehabilitation, they invaded. Quietly overthrown, the human race is now enslaved. The majority doesn’t even realize they have no free will. Branded, herded and kept only to further the agendas of the Fae Courts, humanity could be facing extinction.

But a resistance is coming…

Fianna Dolan has spent her entire young life preparing herself for an uprising against the Fae. One scorching summer night Fi's parents leave and never return. Thrust into a position of power she never expected, Fi struggles with her new position and the responsibility it entails. When a secretive fae man known only as Flint breaches the city’s defenses claiming he can help, Fi begins to doubt everything she's ever considered truth. As betrayals and deception come to light, will Fi want the answers she’s been seeking, or will trusting Flint lead to her destruction?
