Forge
T.K. Anthony
Warned by a Seeing…
The high king of
the Scotian Realm expects the arrival of an enemy, a race of psychic predators
bent on galactic conquest. The Realm’s one hope is alliance with the
neighboring star domains in defense of a shared colony, Forge.
Caught in Fate’s
grim weaving…
Mindblind,
amnesic, Tazhret lives out his drug-induced visions of servitude on Forge. He
wants to believe the beautiful woman with the nut-brown hair who whispers
reassurances to his harrowed heart: “You have a name.” But is she even real? Or
just one bright thread in his dark dreams?
An unexpected
hope…
Tazhret’s destiny
leads him to freedom and the woman he yearns for—and to a desperate struggle
against the enemy.
Tazhret can save
Forge, and the clan of his beloved. But only at the cost of all he has hoped
for:
his name, his
freedom, and his love for the woman with the nut-brown hair…
About the Author:
Warped
in childhood by too much reading, T.K. Anthony made her living in the world of
words, briefly on Capitol Hill as a press secretary before moving on to
Corporate America in business communications and human resources.She grew up in Pennsylvania, has lived in Illinois, Virginia, Upstate and Central New York, and Massachusetts, and has seen much of the United States by road trip, visiting a whole raft of cousins. Travel outside the US includes Scotland, England, Italy, France, and Belgium. With her travel bag packed, she now resides in Texas with her husband, two cats (Pip and Taz are close collaborators in her writing, and keep her keyboard furry), and all the people in her head who talk to her.
She loves to talk to other people, too–so leave a comment, or send her an email at tesskanthony@gmail.com.
Excerpt:
Clenched in the
grip of a fateful vision, the black web of Tazhret’s nightmare suffocated him,
paralyzed him. While his heart pounded in terrified denial, the ensnaring net
grew dense, and tight, cutting off all light, all sound…every breath of air.
The nightmare shifted, and the web became chains, chains of red fire burning
into his skin, binding him, crushing him in nameless enslavement to an evil
will while his soul cried for freedom.
One thread of
light, an answer to a desperate prayer, shone in Fate’s grim weaving of a dark
future.
She was
beautiful. She gazed at him, her luminous amber eyes sorrowful in a pale face
framed by dark hair. She insisted against all evidence, You have a name. A good
one.
He knew he loved
her. His heart ached for her.
He wondered who
she was.
Review:
Although for the most part I enjoyed reading this book, it definitely isn't what I was expecting when I offered to review it.
I found the first ten chapters (it has 73 in total) of this book really hard going. For the most part I felt like I was reading a book in another language, one that was similar to English but I just couldn't grasp exactly what was being said. It took me a good two weeks to get through those chapters I kept reading a few paragraphs I'd feel lost so I'd put it down then I'd remember I needed to do a review on this book and I'd pick it up again.
Suddenly about chapter 12 when they arrive in Dare Mountain Hold, the book transformed into this well written mystery/suspense with a little romance thrown in too. Because I don't want to give too much away I'll just say that I love the Hero and Heroine(I can't even give you there names because it will give too much away) in this book. And the book has so many twists and turns you just keep turning pages because you need to know what happens next.
My biggest problem with this book however is I was expecting a romance novel and it just isn't. This book is an Action/Mystery/Suspense with a small side of Romance.
Overall I give this book a 3.9 out of 5 Enjoyable read but a little more concentration required than I prefer in my stories.I will however be reading the next in the series because I need to know what happens.
