Eve of Destruction - The battle between Industry and Magic has begun!

Amera · 10-07-2011, 12:39 PM

Description:
Magic has long been the foundation of Arkadian society, but an Industrial Revolution has ushered in an unprecedented era of technology and innovation. Steam-powered airships and trains have shrunk the country, and a score of new factories have given work to the desperate masses. Yet all change comes with a price. The skies burn with the acrid fumes of pollution, and many laborers have been maimed by the same machines that once promised them salvation. And perhaps worst of all, the very source of magic seems to be receding in the wake of industrialization. Now, on the brink of the most important presidential election in Arkadia’s history, a civil war looms between the cult-like Industrialist fanatics and the anachronistic Magi.

For the young sorceress Evelyn DeShane, the war just became personal. When she returns from the academy and finds her mother murdered in their own home, Eve immediately blames the gangs of “Dusties” hunting down and terrorizing Magi across the country. But as she travels deep into the heart of Industrialist territory in search of the killer, she discovers that her mother might not have been the innocent victim she’d expected—and the rift between the Magi and the Dusties might not be as black-and-white as she’d assumed. Aided only by her childhood boyfriend and her own budding powers, Eve must survive the civil war raging around her long enough to reconstruct the past before its harrowing secrets doom the future.

You can purchase or sample Eve at the following locations:

But not at Smashwords.

Looks like it is now.

I don't understand the pricing. The Last Goddess is $2.99 and The Last Empress is $4.99 at Smashwords. I thought about buying them, but decided to add them to my to-buy list. I've bought Eve of Destruction at 99 cents. If I enjoy it, I'll buy the other two.

Also, when will the third book in the trilogy be available?

The third Shattered Messiah should be out by the end of next year. The outline is mostly done, but I'm finishing another project now before I start the drafting process.

Thanks, and I hope you enjoy the book!
