ELIXXIR is the
story of Nathanael, Brethren Warrior. An angel on the edge of destruction. It
wasn’t always that way, though. Where does his story begin?
A long time ago.
Ancient Gaul, to be
exact, was when the Brethren manifested on Earth. Nathanael’s had a storied
career as a military man. Across the ages, he’s fought as a soldier and
eventually moved up the ranks to more specialized positions. He’s seen more
bloodshed than anyone in the world, and he’s been responsible for many of those
kills. Why? It’s all in the name of
Brethren Justice. Evil’s influence is far-reaching and powerful.
In modern times, he
spent most of his time on Black Ops missions, successfully cutting down the
world’s most dangerous people. Most recently, a mission gone wrong ended his
eternal tour due to his enormous guilt. Now he’s taken a more solo approach to
evil-wrangling as a bounty hunter. But Satan’s gotten wind of his internal
struggles and is poised to exploit them.
For a good glimpse at the beginnings of his tortured story,
I recommend reading his short story, Nathanael’s
Hunt. It’s free! Then, immerse
yourself in his full story, ELIXXIR, just a click away.
Here’s a tease:
Callie has secrets, too many to count.
For twenty years she’s been living a lie as Callie Worthington,
hiding from the monsters who brutally murdered her parents for possession of
the Elixxir of Life. Unsuccessful before, their killers have found her and will
stop at nothing to acquire the Elixxir. And see
her dead.
Nathanael has a couple of secrets, too. A nasty one in particular
blurs the line separating Good from Evil. As an immortal Brethren Warrior,
though, he must retrieve the Elixxir before it falls into the wrong hands. Just
how he’s going to get it out of Callie’s is the big
question.
Tempers flare and passion ignites as Callie and Nathanael reach
out to each other with their own hidden agendas. She needs his protection. He
needs the Elixxir. Will their fiery passion lead to lasting love, or will their
web of secrets and lies ultimately destroy them both?
Secrets, lies, and love’s loyalties tested. What price for
immortality? What price for love?
How about an excerpt to
whet your appetite even more:
Suddenly,
out of the corner of his eye, he saw the shower curtain undulate and heard the
door click. Damn, he hadn’t heard it open!
“Nate? Are you okay?” Callie’s voice slid seductively in between
the pelting water music.
He wasn’t. And he couldn’t lie. He wouldn’t. Not to her.
She moved the curtain aside, but he refused to turn around,
choosing to remain leaning against the back wall. He sensed her step in behind
him and rest a gentle hand on his back.
“What are you doing?” His voice shook with restraint.
“I’m here to see what’s wrong. Nathanael, tell me what’s wrong.”
The insistent tone broke through his crumbling defenses. He
reached behind him, grasped her hands, and pulled her close to wrap her body
around his like a safety shroud. He held on, as though he would fall into an
abyss otherwise.
“Jesus!” As she spoke, she clutched him even tighter. “What can I
do? Just tell me. What?”
“Tell me I’m good.”
He waited. The crashing of water against his shoulders filled the
space meant to reassure him of his worth. Even should she reply so, would he
believe? Satan had been messing with him for so long now, he didn’t believe in
much of anything anymore.
