Sweet Saturday Sample

Welcome to another addition of Sweet Saturday Samples! Today, I'd like to continue to entice you to read my latest release "Nature's Unbalance: The Chosen." I've chosen (no pun intended) a passage that I think will get your blood flowing a little as The Chosen show off what they can do when they work together.

A few hours after the group left the campsite, they came across a bridge which separated their region of Phantasma from the ogres’. Unfortunately, there was no other way to take them to the North other than to pass through it. They hoped they could simply stay on the path and cross through, but when they reached the bridge two of the area’s inhabitants seized them.

“Who dares cross the bridge to Ogreville?” one of them asked.

“I’m Striker, leader of The Chosen.”

The ogre snarled. He knew of the group, and their heroic defeat of Gastle. He knew they caused destruction to so many of his clansmen on their journey to Gastle’s kingdom. It didn’t matter to them that in the end they saved Phantasma. They wouldn’t let them pass easily.

“You are not welcome here. Go away, or face my wrath.”

“I don’t wish to battle you,” Striker said. “But if we must in order to pass through your land, we will.” 

This only enraged the ogre and his friend more, and they snarled while they raced toward the group. The Chosen didn’t hesitate. Bolts of frost, fireballs and other spells flew through the air from Red and Silvor’s spells and pummeled into the ogres. Arrows followed the spells when Striker and Kaidyla shot their bows at them. Lumina transformed into a ferocious bear and ran toward them with Sampson and Delilah on her heels. The three attacked the ogres when they reached them.

Chaos erupted when everyone attacked at once, and the ogres ran forward to take on the group. Halli stayed back and healed the group when the ogres returned the attacks. It didn’t take long for The Chosen to take out the two ogres and move forward, and they crossed the bridge into their land.

Most of their journey through the village was quiet and incident free, and the group hoped they could pass through the rest of the way to the northern border without trouble. But trouble came.

Once word of the guards’ deaths traveled through the village, more ogres came out to find their attackers. When they saw The Chosen ride down the main path, they knew the group was responsible for the attacks. The ogres came out and attacked in full force. The Chosen fought back, and defeated the ogres, then continued to make their way through the village to the northern border. They took out the guards at the north gate too and made their way out of the village. They left smoke and flames in their wake, along with dead ogres scattered throughout the village, some with arrows in their chests and guts, some with scorch marks from the spells that hit them.

"Nature's Unbalance (The Chosen)" is available on the Amazon Kindle, Barnes & Noble Nook, and in print.

During a time of celebration for The Chosen, a mysterious force appears on Phantasma, threatening to destroy Nature and all of her creatures.
Will The Chosen find and defeat this force, and save Nature before it's too late?
