An epic tale of an ancient goddess, magic, and warriors, flawed human beings overcoming their greatest challenge and tremendous odds. For a thousand years the deep desert, a vast wasteland, thousands of miles of shifting sands and blowing winds, has kept a secret. Ancient obelisks leading to the forgotten temple of the Goddess Narine are discovered. The reading of the Twelve Tablets brings forth a mystical being, but also releases a powerful evil. , and soon the rest of the world if those possessed by the evil can't be stopped. He calls upon the Sheik of a deep desert clan, his long time friend, and his Crystal Warrior companions and their considerable magic, along with the entity Lady Mist to cover the vast wasteland and the eastern desert to combat the powerful evil force. An intriguing adventure to say the least. Darian - a young Crystal Warrior who explores the vastness of the deep desert and discovers an ancient temple. Designated the Keeper of the Word he causes a mystical being to come forth while at the same time unwittingly setting free an ancient evil. Dorian - Darian’s crystal warrior armorer father, one of only five survivors from an excursion into the deep desert years before. Now he returns with his son Lady Mist - a beautiful being brought forth by the reading of the Twelve Tablets. Hers is the task of bringing into balance the thousand year old evil set free by the reading of the Twelve Tablets. Awiel of the Dance - a sexy and talented Veil Dancer, known as Tarina the Crystal Seeress in the north. Her physical and magical abilities are exceptional. Many others play pivotal roles in this epic tale of ancient magic and adventure. Don't miss this exciting tale of an ancient Goddess, mystical evil, and epic battles! Reviews: ***** This is a good read. It takes up where both the first and second books left off - yeah, both of them. I like the time-walking, the mystical shadow warriors, and Lady Mist and sergeants rule the army! There's good comic relief with the comical snake Ith . ·· JD King ***** The changing landscape of the story and of the desert, war, magic, and a touch of sensuality, I was all in. ·· W.R. Masters ***** ...What I most enjoy about this story is the ability of the author to draw one into the minds of his characters, even those who happen to be on the "wrong" side of the battle. Additionally, the banter is natural and entertaining, the characters are complex and dynamic, and the battles are epic and exciting. On that note, few authors are able to narrate a battle with such skill that they can keep me from skimming through them, but R.L. Kiser is one of them. · · Patricia Hamill on Goodreads **** R.L. Kiser has created a really epic trilogy with the Tales of the Crystal series and I have loved each one more than the other. The Twelve Tablets is fast paced and it really forces your brain to try to keep up with all of the action, while at the same time keeping you engaged in the characters. For me, this book is very character driven and I like that fact. Each character is well fleshed out and you can picture them in your mind and understand why they choose to do the actions they do. Lovers of fantasy are really going to enjoy this last installment of the series because it hits all the key points you like to see in well written fantasy work. I am glad that I started reading this series and would highly recommend it. ·· Kathryn Bennett for Readers' Favorite

Blood and Brothers is a fantasy book set in a futuristic world different from our own. Rogue Scientists who have fled Earth to do research into genetic manipulations find a world wrapped in extremely powerful energy fields, allowing them to power their technology. This same technology allows them to have grand, flying craft with sails grabbing not just the wind but power from the air. The story is oriented around two unlikely friends: Darian Carver, a human, and Max Ford, a Mantarian. Mantarians are one of the engineered races and are based on an equine model. The two friends who are as different as night and day are quickly shown to be best friends, as two unalike people can often become. The young men experience exciting but tough trials, exposure to both good and bad mentorship, and challenges of both the body and the spirit. They learn what is most important to them, who they can depend on, and the type of people they want to become.

USA Today Bestselling author, W.J. May, brings you to a new level of fantasy. Fans of Underworld and paranormal worlds will love this story! PARANORMAL HUNTRESS BOX SET is the first 3 books of the Paranormal Huntress series - altogether in one collection! "The wise learn many things from their enemies." My name's Atlanta Skolar, and I'm a huntress. No, not the vampire-slaying type, or the ever-brooding Winchester brothers from Supernatural. I live a relatively normal life—during the day at least. I go to school, have friends, and try my best to survive Uncle James' horrendous cooking. However, the nights in the city of Calen are not always calm. There's a thin veil between our world and the world of monsters, the good and the bad. I'm one of the few who stands between the two. With the help of my uncle, who's taken me in since my parents' deaths, I spend the nights making sure the balance is maintained and that each side keeps to their respective places. At least, that was until something rattled the cages and everything hit the fan. There's a new evil in town, an evil that's been here before, and it may be responsible for my parents' deaths. An evil that isn't satisfied with the balance. It'll do all it can to make sure darkness falls over Calen and the rest of the world once again. Scary? That ain't the half of it. It's particularly interested in me. Why? No idea. But it's my job as a huntress to make sure the evil is stopped, no matter what. BOOK 2 The city of Calen has fallen. The forces that once held the city as one are scattered and drained of power. Adelaide, one of the witches who's haunted and threatened the peace once made by the elders in the territory, has regained her power by releasing the hybrids she's created. She's determined to destroy Calen and all those who stand in her way. Atlanta, the Druid huntress, responsible for unlocking the hybrids and the murder of her uncle, tries to come to terms with what's happened. The fate of Calen rests in too few hands. Divided sanctions, Vamps, Wolf and Druid, must unify or each race stands no chance of survival. BOOK 3 Calen has fallen. Everlore has fallen. Atlanta Skolar is on the run. Barely escaping the clutches of Adelaide, and believing her mother is dead, she escapes the fires of the ancient city. Her escape, though, is bittersweet. Coupled with the unknown ability she has recently discovered, and the curious case of her platinum colored hair, she has yet to find a way to defeat the witch and her followers. Joined by her band of trusted friends, Atlanta must work to find the remaining Lunar Books and figure out the secrets within if she wants to stop Adelaide's conquest for complete dominance. But with hybrids and the compelled hot on her trail, the task seems almost impossible. Atlanta must find the strength within her, and unleash the powers of the Coven Master, if she wants to ensure the survival of her friends…and herself.

There was a certain coldness in the manner of those at the Weald spaceport when the Med Ship left next morning. Calhoun was not popular because Weald was scared. It had been conditioned to scare easily, where blueskins might be involved. Its children were trained to react explosively when the word "blueskin" was uttered in their hearing, and its adults tended to say "blueskin" when anything to cause uneasiness entered their minds. So a planet-wide habit of non-rational response had formed and was not seen to be irrational because almost everybody had it. The volunteer who'd discovered the tragedy on the ship from Orede was safe, though. He'd made a completely conscientious survey of the ship he'd volunteered to enter and examine. For his courage, he'd have been doomed but for Calhoun. The reaction of his fellow-citizens was that by entering the ship he might have become contaminated by blueskin infective material if the plague still existed, and if the men in the ship had caught it—but they certainly hadn't died of it—and if there had been blueskins on Orede to communicate it—for which there was no evidence—and if blueskins were responsible for the tragedy. Which was at the moment pure supposition. But Weald feared he might bring death back to Weald if he were allowed to return....
