The Gift of Fire to Awaken Us...
Valinet is a gifter. She's good with fire magic, but little does she know she is one of the most powerful gifters of the empire. Torn between the life she knows and one that she does not, Valinet and her brother Serg, must decide if they will brave the dangers of the Middle Desert to seek protection in Windfall.
With their lives turned upside down, they must find their own path within the empire. Pushed apart by fate, they struggle to stay connected to one another, while noble Bloodlines seek their own ambitions. Are the Bloodlines seeking Valinet? Will they seek to employ her or try to take her power? Can serg keep himself out of the watchful eyes of the Bloodlines?
Gifts of Fire and Ice is book one of the FireNight Prophecies. It brings the Fire Empire into focus just as it is starting to unravel. Noble Bloodlines seek to weaken the emperor's grasp, pulling in Valinet, Serg, and even the emperor's own children. They must play every hand they have to win.
Darren Boeck is an avid reader of both science fiction and fantasy novels. Having spent decades reading them, he finally decided to put pen to paper (or keyboard to word processor) and wrote his own. With a Master's degree in Cyber Security and way too many hours behind the glow of a computer screen, he has taken a leap from the logic of the computer realm into a realm of YA fantasy. When not working on this current series, he can be found navigating life with his wife, four daughters, and two dogs.

DeleteIf you pick up the ebook anytime between today and April 30th, I will be donating all royalties to the WHO-COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund.
ReplyDeleteI'm not enamored of the cover. It just doesn't look real. I don't think I'd be tempted to pick it up actually. Hope this doesn't eliminate me since it's my truth.
ReplyDeleteMarcia,
DeleteEveryone is entitled to their opinion, and I appreciate the honesty. The book is YA Epic Fantasy, so arguably it is not 'real'. Thanks for checking it out, no it does not eliminate you.
The cover shows an interesting cast of characters.
ReplyDeleteMelody,
DeleteThank you for looking at my book, it shows enough of the main characters without showing too many in my opinion. It was exactly what I wanted. I would love to hear what you think about the book, if you can find the time to pick it up and read it.
I think the cover is really cool.
ReplyDeleteLisa I agree, the artist did an outstanding job. Thank you for your feedback.

ReplyDeleteThanks Julie, please keep in touch and let me know what you think after you have read it. Just an FYI, the ebook price is going up on Saturday to $3.99, so picking it up now would be a great idea :). The pricing on the paperback and hard cover versions is not changing.
