According to
Ariel Allison's blog post, her book
eye of the God (from Christian publisher Abingdon Press) is free to download as PDF file until Jan 11 (from
Scribd).
Then "From January 12th through the 19th, Eye of the God will be available
as a free Kindle download." (
Update 1/12, the book is still not free on Amazon, maybe problems of the publisher, but I'll check
the author's blog for updates.)
Quote:
A bit about the novel:
The world’s most spectacular museum heist, a cursed jewel, and a romance doomed to fail, all tied together with stunning historical fact, create the vast and intricate setting for the first-ever novel about the Hope Diamond.
According to legend, the Hope Diamond was once the eye of a Hindu idol named Rama Sita. When it was stolen in the 17th century, it is said that the idol cursed all those who would possess it. But that doesn’t stop the brilliant and ruthless Weld brothers from attempting to steal it from the Smithsonian. However, they are not prepared for Dr. Abigail Mitchell, the beautiful Smithsonian Director, who has her own connection to the Hope Diamond, and a deadly secret to keep. Abby soon realizes she alone holds the pieces to the complicated puzzle in this deadly game of illegal art collectors. Abby’s faith is put to the ultimate test as she confronts the father who abandoned her, the betrayal of the only man she has ever loved, and the possibility that she may lose her life because of the legendary gem.
When all is said and done, and the dust has finally settled over the last great adventure of the Hope Diamond, we understand the curse that haunts its legacy is nothing more than the greed of evil men who bring destruction upon themselves. No god chiseled from stone can direct the fates of men, nor can it change the course of history.
