The Shadow Harvest (Science Fiction & Fantasy)
2 chapters
—
updated Mar 26, 2013 08:51pm
Description:
Teenagers believe they are immortal, but unlike fifteen-year-old Vincent, they are wrong. As strange accidents befall hundreds of teens around the world, Vincent is unknowingly recruited to fight a secret, supernatural conflict that spans back to the earliest days of human civilization. He soon learns the dark truth about some immortals and their ability to exert an invisible influence over every aspect of humankind’s modern society.
Immortals are not gods, though some have chosen to be worshipped as such. They are not wizards, but can perform acts filled with great magic when it serves them. Although they are not vampires, many of them prefer to deal with humans from behind the cloak of a specter in the shadows of the night. Now, for the first time in thousands of years, immortals have been blessed with the ability to have children, yet, at the same time, cursed with the possible theft of their own immortality.
When Vincent becomes ensnared with a forbidden love from his past, he discovers that deceit, jealousy, and lust capture his once perfect heart. As his friends become enemies, his enemies become his only source of redemption. When the face of wickedness is revealed, and true love slips like grains of sand through his fingers, the good that Vincent has done in the service of strangers seems pointless when he is unable to stop the death of his closest friend.
In The Shadow Harvest, some immortals will risk everything for love, while others struggle to collect power and fame. One will fight for honor, while another seeks redemption for past sins. Vincent comes to understand that his immortality is an enchanted gift, and like all enchanted gifts, it has rules. The spell of life everlasting can be broken, and he, like anyone else, can die.

“There are two types of people in the world, a solution-based person, and a sustainable person. A solution based person focuses on finding solutions to today’s problems. But, as for tomorrow’s problems, who cares? However, a sustainable person is the one that not only attempts to make an immediate fix, but also contemplates decisions for today, tomorrow and for years to come.”

Yeah, you know I never try to be the smartest person in the room because if that's ever the case, then I will need to find smarter friends. I feel badly whenever anyone adds my book afterward. I'm just new to Goodreads, and I want to find cool people who have similar interest, but diverse backgrounds. I want all of my friends to know that communication is a two way street with me, and if someone has something they'd like to say, well, I'm not so preoccupied with my own thoughts that I'm not listening to the expressions of others, so thanks again and have a great weekend yourself.
P.S If you like interesting notions, I think you may really enjoy this interview, either way, I welcome any and all correspondence.
Joel
Hi Joel,I want to thank you for the friendship invitation; in fact, I'd like to thank you doubly so, as you seem to put a lot of thought into your choices. I'm a fan of doing a lot of research myself as I would like to make sure that I am surrounded by intelligent, interesting people(even on the web!)
I marked Shrouded Secrets as 'to-read'; I think it sounds like a great story.
On another note, I didn't know that Nevey did interviews. So much for staying informed! I will check back to read the interview and perhaps take part in the Q and A if I've completed the book first.
Well, that's all for now; I hope you have a great weekend ahead of you!

Yeah, well I've looked at hundreds of profiles, and compared certain tastes in literature to determine a basic personality type. Then, I narrowed down that list, until I could see myself being friends with that person as if we lived in the same town.
Joel wrote: "Oh, thanks, but I'm just looking at personalities and choosing friends based on that, and not at random."That's wonderful. But can you explan more???
