Blurb
Torn:
Deklan; a man jaded and scarred by the past. D’arci; a woman afraid to trust anyone ever again. In a pleasure palace, they meet, and like an accelerate to a flame ignite a passion, neither can fathom.
Deklan Cean Mora, Captain of an elite squadron of soldiers for the Federation Alliance, is a complicated man. Yet for all of his success, he is still searching for something to fill a void; one which he refuses to acknowledge.
P.S. 1400, Princess D’arcineu, has her own closely guarded secret and battles to fight. Her only chance for freedom lies just behind the aeon veil door where Deklan waits. Together they are propelled into a world of intrigue, filled with jealousy, betrayal and deception. Set within the Kusharri galaxy; can they save the alliance and their love for each other as well?
EXERPT:
Deklan inched forward and froze”“his nerves on high alert. His muscles tensed as a high-pitched whir warned and he jerked back, dogging a particle beam blast that landed right to the spot he’d lain not moments before.
Xerius! He rolled forward and paused. Holding still as dead as they would believe him to be. He waited and the cannon fired elsewhere he sprang to his feet. A few more maneuvers and he pulled up just short of the compound with A’rian and Tornz close behind.
“A’rian go left, I’ll go right. Tornz hold this position.”
“Yes, Captain Cean Mora,” they replied in unison in his head.
With his commands imprinted mentally to his soldiers, and with their neuropathic conformation; Deklan rolled onto his stomach crawling a few more yards, hips shifting, knees bunching up, his heel and toes digging deep, before popping to his feet then the team’s real scramble began. At the door he searched through the haze for his other team members, noting their charge amidst a hailstorm of plasmic-fire, would be slow going.
Never needing to use his parlor tricks on the field before, a distraction was paramount. Summoning up a mini sand-swirl would be fancy enough. With the search halogens operators occupied, his team could get to the guards at the ionic doors, slip inside and do a little mind-cleanse without the insurgents getting spooked and tripping the alarms.
Closing his eyes Deklan let the energy of the Goddess flow through him”“ enveloping”“ suffusing him with light. He felt the sands on the planet’s surface swirl around him, blinding all others save his troops. Allowing the phenomenon to spread outward, his consciousness was in tune with his brethren. He sensed rather than saw them and
together they moved as one collective, toward the building’s outer wall. Moments later, the lights were extinguished–no doubt by Etius and they all reached the gate as the sand-swell continued to give cover. A nano-second later, the gate doors were popped and they rushed in.
The surprise registering on the guard’s faces bore expressions, like they’d been caught with the Viceroy’s underage daughter, on the back of a hoover-craft”” naked, ass-up, while on duty. Not a good scene. Before they had time to formulate curses, his team was on them with hands, fist and hard kicks”” immobilizing and disarming them easily without even using their weapons. With their enemy’s vocal folds paralyzed and their neural pathways short-circuited, those fuckers weren’t going to be
talking, walking, or remembering for a while. Deklan’s jaw worked as he did a quick mind-scan of the opposition, discovering not only the location of patches of other insurgents, but the missing commander as well. All levity aside , it was time to move on to phase two of the mission; recon and get-the-fuck back to base. Flipping a glance at his team, Deklan ground out an order.
“Etius, Worrek, Bemis, A’rian, Tornz, on my mark””mind cleanse.”
