Her family was cast out to the highlands of Tírbogha. Shamed. Claimed dangerous - even deadly.
His family were power hungry nobles in the lowlands of Curta. Honoured. Self-appointed Royalty - godlike.
Maggie is the niece of a blacksmith once married to a McGregor.
Keith is the oldest son of the second Tine'la prince.
Both have the skills to kill. Both have secrets that can tear the other's world apart.
But each needs the other to hold the world together.
*****
Follow Maggie, Keith and the others as they set off on an adventure that was set in motion long before their own time, but one that will definitely test them and change their world as they know it!
"The Barrio of Beverly Hills (excerpted from THE ORANGE MESSIAH) is a dazzling family saga set in the transformational period of the early 1970’s. The hippies, the Beatles, and Led Zeppelin were in their heyday. Movies like Jesus Christ Superstar and A Clockwork Orange were huge hits. Fifty thousand Americans had been lost in Viet Nam, and a Constitutional Amendment had been passed, banning discrimination against women based on their gender.
Against this backdrop, Ramona and Carlos Batista, half-Hispanic twins and their friend and lover, Jonah Cahn, are coming of age in Los Angeles. Their story is one of bloody murder and sizzling sex, riotous adventure and heart-wrenching tragedy. It is also a comical roadtrip where everyone “inhales” and one character almost gets drowned by a Spanish-speaking horse. This is in-your-face story telling, visceral yet sublimely poetic, a guaranteed “must read” for anyone who loves a good story.
Years ago Taryn Damour was a normal child, content to play games of make-believe with Andel, her best friend; now she is a Knight of the Twin Swords, sword to eradicate the scourge that is the Orkoi race.
On the eve of her greatest mission, she finds herself suddenly reunited with Andel... but is he the same boy she once knew? Or will the secrets he carries bring her world crashing down upon them?
