Blurb
A lonely Prince searching desperately for love, denied his rightful place on the throne because of one deadly secret now threatening to be exposed.
A strangely enchanting woman wrestles with the demons of her past, her body brutally beaten, her soul broken and scarred by the abuse she endured under the malevolent reign of a King gone mad.

A chance meeting, evoked by the fervent pleas of the Ancient Ones of Olde, would soon lead Asher and Annestasia to discover where their fates may have intertwined in the lives they were intended to live before they were placed upon this realm.
Journey through a labyrinth of secret passages found within this kingdom, each choice made shifting and spiraling their future through one of the mystical portals to other dimensions.

Their spirits had been broken, and their souls had been tested. In the end, all that remained when all of the scattered remnants of the life they once knew were strewn about the ground was their love.

As the pendulum of power shifts within the forces of the Universe, a great change begins to take place, forcing those to choose which side they shall stand on as the light beings battle the supernatural beasts of darkness found within the Kingdom of Oculus.
The hatred surging through their planet only stood to fuel the embers burning in the hearts and souls of those warriors of light.
It was then, that they were rejuvenated.
It is then, that their powers were reborn.
It was then, that the weak, begin to rise.
The whole world watched, and would soon follow their command, bringing about the Great Awakening at last.

Emma Sanders:
She’s a damsel in distress—a 20th century miss dragged back to the 18th with no way home and no idea how she got there in the first place.
Connor MacAllister Kane:
He’s the reason she’s in distress--a British highwayman, and a minor noble with not much more to his name than a title and a Robin Hood-like charm who robs the wrong coach.
Now, Captain Nelson Rawlins of His Majesty’s Royal Dragoons, a former childhood friend of Connor’s who sacrificed friendship for duty is on the hunt for the Highwayman and traitors to the crown. The longer Emma stays in Connor’s time, the more she’s drawn to him and drawn into his troubles. She and Connor find themselves struggling to stay one step ahead of the Captain and his corrupt Commander and keep Connor and his roguish cousins from the hangman’s noose. As the Commander’s grip on the countryside tightens, the people need Connor even more, but Rawlins is hot on his trail and there’s a traitor in their midst. Can Emma use her twentieth century wits to keep both Connor and her heart safe?

There lies in all of us darkness, an evil core which may hinder our decisions. How we deal with that darkness is what defines us as human—or not.
Herm has been the protector of the forest for many years. He now has the duty to choose his successor—and his three candidates all personify the statement he greets them with. A braggart, a self-proclaimed coward, and a woman who seems unable to understand her position. How can Herm select a new protector with such a terrible collection of individuals?
                                                                                                                                                                

Excerpt
“It is your time, Herm. Your moment to choose a successor. You may not waver, nor may you consider our decision a mere suggestion.”
The voice came from within and without the forest. Herm bowed to the decision of the elders that had been presented to him. Granted, he’d brought up this issue himself and had been overseeing the cycle of replacement for many weeks on end. But there truly was no qualified male that he’d yet to see capable of doing as he’d done for these many years.
“You must look upon all the candidates with equal consideration,” a female voice commanded him. “It’s time to stop thinking that women aren’t capable of doing the duty you’ve shouldered all this time. Didn’t I do well in my tenure in your position?”
Shame flushed him. The greatest of the Elders was a woman. She’d picked him for his duty, yet he still felt it was a man’s job, one too difficult for nearly all women on Earth.
“Do you understand?” a third voice asked.
“I do.” Herm nodded. “And I shall obey.”

It doesn’t take long for rules to be broken, for people to fight dirty, and for it to seem like something is amiss with the federally mandated simulation. Cassie and her squad are faced with discovering the intentions of the Chi Rho Iota Corporation as well as partaking in a war game that claims to be harmless when it’s anything but safe.
Nothing is as it seems in LIMITED TRUTH.
