The memory of Brigitte’s upbringing in the
Dreamclans slowly fades away as she succumbs to the lavish lifestyle of her new
home. Caught in the grip of The Madness epidemic, she descends into an
elixir-fueled haze. It’s the only way to silence the judgmental voices in her
head. Outside the gilded walls, a looming storm encircles the city, trapping
its inhabitants as they remain blind to the treachery within. Meanwhile,
D’Vinid is reluctantly caught up in the unstoppable currents of fate. A
harrowing encounter with the murderous Shadowmancers launches him on a perilous
journey, while Symbiosis with his new soul-crystal reveals clues to the
corruption of the Crystal Grid. All paths lead back into the forbidden arms of
Brigitte. Is their union a beacon of hope? Or will it unleash the Shadows of Atlantis?
In this eagerly anticipated sequel to Shadows of Atlantis: Awakening, Symbiosis
follows the horrifying psychological descent of a falling civilization. Utopia
is dying - but how can they stop what they can’t even see?

Excerpt:
“Your king will visit you soon,” he
whispered. “He asked me to prepare you.”
He smoothed aromatic oil on his hands
and gently rubbed it on her skin. She was unable to control the urges his touch
inspired. The feel and smell of the oil kicked her senses into overload. She
moaned. His hands sent electric shocks through her body. She arched her back,
sinking into the arousal, hoping beyond hope that he would escalate the
pleasure. When she reached a peak, he left the room. Her mind was muddled
beyond measure. Floating in a state of suspended ecstasy, she had the presence
of mind to pull on a robe before stumbling into the main parlor.
There she found Stixxus pacing. His
grumbling demeanor pulled a blanket of tension over the room.
“Stixxus.” Brigitte moved closer, stumbling
in the sensual fog. She stared at the ripple of his muscles. Desire consumed
her until she reached to touch his skin. He grabbed her hand. “Your Majesty.
Please,” he begged.
Breathless, she collapsed into his
arms, running her lips on his bare bicep. The salt of his skin ignited her
passion even further.
“Please. Take me.” She pressed her
body against his.
He pushed her to arm’s length. Having
seen the mixologist leave her room, he knew she had been drugged with the
aphrodisiacs.
Such was the way of things in
Atlantis. “Your Majesty, the Fury League has defected from the king’s order.
This means I am no longer under the order of the trident. I must report to the
Warrior Sect.”
Brigitte creased her brow. The haze of
desire, though overwhelming, began to dissipate. The meaning of his words sank
in.
Stixxus watched her eyes for signs of
understanding. “The king is accused of lying and deceiving the people. The
Warrior Sect is unable to break the codes of honor.” He gazed on her
pleadingly. “I don’t wish to leave here.” He squirmed, stealing a look at the
shape of her body through the thin robe she wore, contemplating her pleas.
“Then don’t leave. Perhaps it will
work itself out.” She forced herself to walk toward the balcony overlooking the
private sanctuary below. “My brother has not yet returned. You and Alondriss
are all I have.” She turned to face him. “I am not the king. Perhaps my order
is still legitimate.”
He was stunned by her regal beauty.
There was no way he could refuse her. Sighing, he sank to one knee. “Forgive
me, my queen. I will obey your wishes. I will inform my league-master that I
wil stay with you as a mercenary.”
A shadow fell over the entry foyer,
and they both turned their attention to the intruder.
“You have a good point, my queen.” The
voice of King Kyliron sent a chil across the room. “Perhaps the furies will
listen to your order.” He joined her on the balcony, waving toward Stixxus. “I
would like to be alone with my mate now,” he brushed a chilling glare over the
warrior.
Stixxus did not bow. He merely planted
his feet firmly on the ground, hands folded behind his back, eyes fixed on
Brigitte. “I answer to the queen alone.” The warrior’s gravel voice creaked
darkly.
Kyliron raised an eyebrow. “You do
inspire the people,” he leaned closer to Brigitte, inhaling the intoxicating
aroma of the oil on her skin. “The furies may have shunned my rule, but you are
still my queen.”
The arousal turned to pain. She had to
have one of them if not both. With a gulp, she gestured to the warrior.
“Stixxus, please retire to the corridor as sentry.”
About Mara:
Mara Powers is a rebel of the
written word who has tackled the monumental task of recreating Atlantis. When
she was 16 in Fort Collins, Colorado, she began visiting the library in search
of things she couldn't learn in school. Her goal was to re-define her religion.
She studied theology voraciously until she discovered the concept of
reincarnation though Hinduism. It was the answer to a lifelong existential
crisis that had plagued her for many sleepless nights. The study of
reincarnation led her to the channel Edgar Cayce. In his many books, she found
his past life readings of lifetimes spent in Atlantis. This was the beginning
of a lifelong quest to unravel the secrets of this mystery. She has spent
upwards of 30 years exploring the labyrinth of ancient civilizations. Her
decision to turn it all into a high concept, visionary fantasy series stems
from her study of the esoteric depiction of Atlantis. With the other half of
her research rooted in the secular, it was the best way to illustrate both aspects
of this fascinating legend. Her work is the legacy of the legend.
