Book blurb: Kia Deering is a normal
teenage girl looking forward to celebrating her 18th birthday in style. What
she didn't anticipate was the revelation that would change her life beyond
recognition.
The Goddess Assaie fell for a human and gave up everything, including her identity, to be with him, sacrificing everything she ever knew in the name of true love.
When Kia discovered she was a descendant of the Goddess she had a year to embrace all that it meant or to turn her back on her destiny forever.
Kia had always believed herself to be ordinary but now she was extraordinary she had no idea if she could handle the potential of the power within her. Perhaps the handsome young man she meets in a nightclub could be the distraction she needed, or perhaps he will open up a whole new set of questions himself.
“A pantheonic love story with several twists on the theme, I can highly recommend this first novel by this author”
“Amazing book from start to end”
“I shall be recommending it to my friends”
Events from the past come together, in this fantastical romance, to change the present and nothing will ever be the same again, for any of them.
Read D E Howard's début novel Assaie's Gift and follow a love that began in another era.
Author info:D E Howard was born and raised in the small seaside town of
Southport where she still resides. Enjoying writing for most of her adult life
she only recently decided to turn her ideas into books. Part time gardener
(just at home!), part time dog walker (for a crazy cairn terrier) and part time
author she still has time for a full time job. Work pays the bills but writing
feeds the soul. Her second book “Spirit of the Book” will be out soon.
Egg-cerpt:
While Sofia fumbled in her bag for her mobile
phone Kia raced around to the front of the car. From the back seat she hadn't
been able to see the other vehicle which it appeared they had hit side on,
crushing both the driver's door and the front of the taxi. The driver, and sole occupant, of the other
vehicle was motionless, blood covering his face as it ran freely from a large
cut in his forehead.
“Are you all right?” She shouted, the driver's
eyes flickering open in acknowledgement. “It's okay, we've called an
ambulance... just stay where you are.”
Racing around to the driver's side of the taxi
Kia stopped dead, the taxi driver was sprawled across the road before the car,
his leg at a painfully unnatural angle, his body bloodied from the many cuts he
sustained from the windscreen's glass. The thing that made Kia stop and take a
deep breath however were his eyes, they were now wide open and staring up at
the sky unblinking, they showed no sign of life.
Approaching him slowly Kia took some deep
steadying breaths, she had taken a few first aid courses in college but nothing
could have prepared her for this.
“Hello?” She said as she crouched down beside
him. “Hello can you hear me?”
Getting no reaction Kia reached out a hand and
gently shook the taxi driver's shoulder.
“Hello?” She said again, already knowing that it
was too late for him to ever hear her again but unable to stop trying. “Please
be all right... hello?”
Kneeling down closer to the driver Kia leaned
over, holding her hair back, as she tried to listen for any sounds of breath
but there were none, his eyes still stared lifelessly at the sky.
“What do I do?” Kia said quietly to herself as
tears began to fill her eyes. This was not the way her birthday was supposed to
end and she was certain that the taxi driver hadn't anticipated such a final
end to his evening either.
Unable to do anything else Kia took hold of the
driver's hand gently and closed her eyes. It didn't seem right to just leave
him.
She didn't notice the burning sensation in her
palm at first as her body was already full of aches from the collision but
after a few minutes it was impossible to ignore and her eyes shot open to look
down at the hand that held onto that of the driver. Kia wasn't certain but she
thought she could see a strange white glow around their hands and then, as quickly
as it started, the pain faded away and seconds later so did the glow.
Shaking her head to clear her thoughts Kia
decided she was imagining things due to the stress of the accident.
Then the driver began to cough.
“What happened?” He asked, rubbing his free hand
over his face as he straightened the leg that moments ago had seemed
irrevocably broken.
“Accident,” Kia said, unable to form any more
coherent words than that, relief flooding her body at the sound of the
ambulance sirens rapidly approaching.
