Here’s the set-up:

Seven hundred years ago, the Knights of the Ordained banished the demon, Asmeodai. Buried deep beneath Wahi Tapu Temple, the evil becomes a distant memory. For those seven hundred years, Asmeodai seethed in hatred for those that condemned him to this hell. He has survived only for his chance to enact his revenge.

Now, though, the time of the Secundus has come again. With the rising of the second moon comes the fear of Asmeodai’s reemergence. The aftermath of the last Secundus saw the once-great Jornada Empire splintered into three realms. Moreover, the Knights of the Ordained are not what they once were. But all is not lost. There is hope. There are those born who are ordained to fight this evil like no other.

Their destiny will not be denied.

Follow the sweeping fantasy adventure entrenched in royal intrigue, powerful foes, and magical exploits. Beware the saga contains sword & sorcery, dragons and fleogans, and witches and wizards.

Here’s the set-up:

A tour de force novel on the imperfect search for the perfect love.

Under the surface of Talia and Max’s perfect love lies the truth of their imperfect marriage: doubt, quarrels, regrets, and pain. It’s that truth that drives Talia to run back to Paris, the city where her heart was broken and restored, while Max remains home, facing his own fears of inadequacy and loss. A broken couple whose past misgivings haunt their future together.

Binding rules are replaced by wild, new ones as both Talia and Max look for answers to their marital problems in all the wrong places. Dafna Cohen’s unapologetic, raw debut novel is unafraid to show its heroes and readers that life – love – is most beautiful when broken.
