Books in Chronicles of the Diasodz series

From the national bestselling author of The Mermaid comes a mind-bending novel inspired by the twisted and wondrous works of Lewis Carroll... In a warren of crumbling buildings and desperate people called the Old City, there stands a hospital with cinderblock walls which echo the screams of the poor souls inside. In the hospital, there is a woman. Her hair, once blond, hangs in tangles down her back. She doesn’t remember why she’s in such a terrible place. Just a tea party long ago, and long ears, and blood... Then, one night, a fire at the hospital gives the woman a chance to escape, tumbling out of the hole that imprisoned her, leaving her free to uncover the truth about what happened to her all those years ago. Only something else has escaped with her. Something dark. Something powerful. And to find the truth, she will have to track this beast to the very heart of the Old City, where the rabbit waits for his Alice.

How do you choose when both options have dire consequences?Sofia is a 17 year old who is quite content with her life. She has a caring boyfriend who also just happens to be her best friend since birth. She has a loving mother. She is successfully completing her last year of high school and enjoys her part-time job. She can’t imagine wanting more from her life…until Ar’ch (pronounced Ar-rick) enters her dreams, sparking a burning flame inside of her that she can’t seem to extinguish nor does she want to.Ar’ch is a Diasodz (Die-ah-sodz), a species created by the Goddess back when God created humans. Diasodz were made to heal and protect humans, but when the Diasodz turned their backs on helping humans and left Earth to live in their own world, the Goddess abandoned them. Since then, their powers and their very lives have been fading. A prophecy foretold that a young girl born on Earth would be the Diasodz’s savior. Ar’ch and his brother, Angel, travel to Earth to retrieve her and bring her back to their world before her death day in order to save their kind. Ar’ch knows the drill: find the target, capture her, and safely bring her home. But what happens when the target captures his dormant heart? Choices create action. Actions have consequences. When faced with the truth, what choice will Sofia make? Will she be able to accept the consequences that follow?

When Sofia first learned about the Diasodz and the world of Caelagios, she never imagined that one day her own mother would lock her in a grimy cell. She never thought that she’d be tortured for standing up for those whom she loves. And just when she thinks things couldn’t get worse, Sofia learns that Damiana’s levels of hatred have no boundaries: she plans to use Sofia to get revenge on all of her enemies. Ar’ch is desperate to find and rescue Sofia from the Raizyns, but when Rafe shows up offering to help him, Ar’ch refuses to trust him. After all, Rafe is the one who kidnapped Sofia and took her away from them. Rafe explains that Sofia’s life is in danger, but Ar’ch feels that Rafe is leading them into a trap. Damiana’s plan to win the war is working perfectly. Rafe has infiltrated their enemies. Sofia is still a youngling and must obey her every command. Even Drake is moving forward with gathering their armies. No one will be able to defeat her, especially with her newfound source of strength: Sofia. The war has come, and no one is safe. Will Sofia save the Diasodz, or will Damiana control her fate and force her to destroy the people she loves the most? Loyalties will be challenged. Lines will be crossed. Sacrifices will be made, and not everyone will survive.

A boy on a quest for manhood. A girl on a quest for ancient technology. One is hunting the predator; the other becomes the prey. Their worlds collide in a deadly chase through a once great city known only as the Zirchon Ruins. A short story prelude in the Chronicles of Tov. Interview with the Author Q - What makes the Chronicles of Tov series special? A - The Chronicles of Tov is a series written for the coming of age Christian child. Bookshelves are overflowing with books about witches, wizards, demigods, monsters, and other topics that the Bible clearly calls evil and there are so very few books written for the Christian tween in the action/adventure/fantasy genres. We believe there is a serious need in the book world for books that hold Christian values in high-esteem, call good good and evil evil and yet give kids that feeling of adventure that is relevant to them today. Q - So, this book series is written for Christians only? A - No, absolutely not, the story of Tov is written allegorically. It can be enjoyed by anyone who wants an exciting story with good moral lessons. They'll see kids living out the Golden Rule and at times learning that breaking the commands given them have real consequences. They'll see engaged fathers and mothers who are strong, vibrant, devoted, and most of all involved in their children's lives. For this series, children and parents who want a deeper understanding of the Biblical principles or an explanation of the allegory, they can go to our website. Q. How many books will there be in the Chronicles of Tov series? A. The Chronicles of Tov is an epic fantasy series. The short answer is: we don't know. The long answer: Edge & Lira is currently a stand-alone adventure, but coming hot on its heels is the first book of the upcoming Forge series. That series is slated for 8 books. But Edge & Lira and Forge are set in a relatively short period of time in the world of Tov. We anticipate several more series that span the entire life of Tov. Q - Is there anything else you'd like to share with your readers about this new series? A - The Chronicles of Tov is a fast-paced, action-packed, thrill-ride adventure that blends great storytelling with moral lessons set in a fantasy world, filled with strange creatures, amazing locations, dynamic protagonists, steampunk and science fiction elements, and good, clean fun.

When Sofia chose to leave Rafe to live with Ar’ch in another world, Rafe’s system shut down and sent him to an early death. But Rafe didn’t die, at least not permanently. Rafe is a Diasodz, and his death simply freed him from his human shell so that he could become the powerful Diasodz that he was meant to be. He awakened to a completely new reality, a reality in which he was the prince to a kingdom of powerful beings. His parents, Drake and Damiana, were the rulers of the Raizyns, a group of Diasodz who were determined to take their rightful place in the world. And Rafe would be the savior who would lead them on their quest. Rafe wanted to please his father, especially since he had just met him. To do that, he needed to learn how to fight like a Raizyn and how to master his newfound skill. He needed to become stronger, faster, and more powerful. Rafe needed to become the savior they all expected him to be. That was what was required of him. But there was one thing that was more important than everything else. One person. Sofia. Rafe was going to find a way to get her back, even if it cost him his life. Again.

Rafe has successfully rescued Sofia from his enemies and has brought her home. He is excited about Sofia meeting their father and joining the Raizyns in their fight against the Diasodz. Unfortunately, bringing Sofia home does not have the effect he had hoped for. In the process of trying to bring his family together, he may have discovered a reason to tear them apart. When Sofia awakens, she discovers that her life has been uprooted once again, and this time she is in more danger than she has ever been. Sofia’s only focus is on finding a way to escape and get back to Ar’ch, but leaving Rafe becomes more difficult when she realizes that not everything is as it seems. Damiana is furious when she learns that her daughter has been brought home. Her plans to use Sofia as a secret weapon within the Diasodz compound is destroyed with Rafe’s meddling. Despite the setback, Damiana knows that she still has the upper hand, but her control is tested when even more secrets are exposed. Each of them believes that she/he knows who the true savior of their people is, but when the truth is revealed, how will they handle it? And whose side will the savior support? The stakes have never been higher for the Raizyns, and Damiana plans to make sure that the savior is on their side no matter what it takes.
