Well, today is Australia Day!
Ozzie, Ozzie, Ozzie, Oy, Oy, Oy!
It is wet in South East Queensland, due to a severe rain depression passing over us, left over from a recent cyclone.
This means that for 3years running, community events have been cancelled due to inclement weather!
Oh well, we still enjoyed ourselves and have a three day long weekend to boot!
Today, I am also hosting a new blogger friend and a fellow author involved in The Blog Tour Exchange....
Will Love Restore the Natural Balance of
Things?
is based on two things: twin souls and the energy of love. The belief in twin souls, that is a soul mate
in the form of your one true love, existing somewhere in the world and pulling
you towards them relentlessly and ceaselessly is the underlying theme of
Protector, and its sequel, Decision Maker. Only, in this world that I created the
energy released when two twin souls find each other is used for purposes that
are not altogether enjoyable for the pair.
In my world, for centuries Joinings of such
strong love, and the energy they release, have been used to build bridges and tall
buildings, stem the flow of rivers, even change the duration and force of
seasons. One thousand years ago, energy from one such pair was used to separate
the world in half by a barrier only a select few can cross. On one side of this
barrier, or Veil as it is called, they have continued with the forced Joinings,
while on the other side the practice was eradicated. This was achieved mainly
through the means of keeping the people ignorant, and under the complete
control of the Priesthood. The priests rule the realm from the shadows. Among
other things, they also decide who can marry whom, so as to prevent any natural
Joinings of love from occurring.
Protector takes place at a time when the fate
of this barrier must be judged. The decision of whether the Veil should
continue to stand, or if it is time to let the world be whole again must now be
made.
Princess Issiyanna is one of a pair, called
to her other half, her twin soul. She is ignorant of her true purpose, steered
to go along and find her love, not knowing that a Joining waits at the end of
her journey. Unbeknown to her, she is loved from a distance by Protector
Kiyarran, a soldier assigned as her bodyguard and the one whose role, whose decision,
could decide the fate of all.
How long can a world where something as
natural as the energy of love is twisted and used for artificial purposes
exist? Will love prevail and restore the natural balance of things? What price
must be paid? Answers to all these questions, and more wait at the end of the
