The Gathering: Book
One of the Lia Fail Chronicles is the first in a new Paranormal, Fantasy, and Adventure Series.
Another world war
has happened and everything we knew is now gone. There are no more
countries. No more government... only
survivors who have created a new world made up of small colonies. It has been
thirteen years and the village of Lia Fail sits peacefully above the
Hollywood Reservoir in the Santa Monica Mountains. The settlement is making ready to host the
fall Gathering, a time where every six months the other colonies from various
parts of what was once Southern California visit for ten days of fun and
reminiscence. The Gathering begins as
any other party. A time for new loves,
old friends, family, dancing and fun, but all too soon that changes. The people in Lia Fail begin to experience
strange goings on they can't explain, unseen forces attack several guests and
friends begin to distrust friends. When
they receive news of a horrific massacre, they realize they must face an
impending dark evil that threatens to descend on the tranquil village.
Alia Stark, the
queen of Lia Fail, must face this darkness.
But she will face the evil along side her oldest and dearest friends, as
well as an amazing new ally. The fate of
her people, the lives of her children and freedom itself rests in her
hands. Will she have the courage to do
what must be done?
This is the
beginning of a journey that will change all of their lives forever.

authors and Swag artists. Please come
