[close] An Oath Sworn.
A Struggle Engaged.
A Sacrifice Required.

When Mara, a trained Oathtaker, is drawn by the scent of the Select to battle beasts of the underworld summoned by powers of evil to destroy the guardians of life, she swears an oath for the protection of her charge.

Armed with a unique weapon, her attendant magic and that of her Oathtaker cohorts, the knowledge of ancients and the assistance of a spymaster, Mara seeks safety for her charge from one who would end Oosa’s rightful line of rule and from assassins who endeavor to bring ruin to the land.

As Mara puzzles to decipher ancient prophecy concerning her charge, as she is haunted with memories of her own past failings, she discovers the price her oath will exact.

To renounce her word would be treasonous; to fail, ruinous; to persevere, tortuous.

Abiding by an oath requires sacrifice.

Previews are available at Amazon and Barnes and Noble. [close]

[close] "A moving, dynamic debut." --Kirkus Reviews

Alex Ferguson has a saint's heart and a skeptic's brain. When her atheist brother is killed in an accident, she's slammed by the horror of what her religion actually teaches: God ordained the accident and sent her beloved brother to hell. She wrestles with the God she wants to love but maybe hates and definitely doesn't understand.

As she fights for understanding, temptation strikes where she's most needy and vulnerable.

Choking on a Camel is not a typical Christian inspirational novel. If that's what you want, please don't sign up for this book. This is a literary novel that wrestles with the issue of faith and doubt, the problem of evil, and the question of how to think independently in a community that demands conformity. [close]
