Hi everyone!
I'm excited to feature
Aussie author Kasper Beaumont, whom I've featured here on the blog many years
back with the start of her middle grade
adventure series The Hunters of Reloria: Elven Jewel.
In this new book (or
series), Beaumont is going for new territory. Not middle grade this time but
definitely still in the fantasy genre…
Meet CAPTIVE
OF DARKNESS!
Title: Captive of
the Darkness
(Book 1 in the Hidden
Angel series)
Author: Kasper
Beaumont
Blurb for Captive
of the Darkness:
Can an
angel be hiding here on Earth?
A veil
of secrecy is lifted on Riley’s 18th birthday. She thought she knew the world,
but now discovers she is a demon hunter. It doesn’t seem real, but then she
meets Him, a charismatic young dancer with special powers.
He is a
prisoner of a powerful demon.
What
secrets does this stranger hide? Will Riley risk her own family to save Him?
More about the
book in Kasper's words:
On Riley’s 18th
birthday, she is told she’s a demon hunter, like the rest of her family. She shrugs the news off in disbelief but that
very night she unwittingly enters the lair of a powerful demon and her whole
world is turned upside down.
She meets a stripper
nicknamed Cupid, who states he is prisoner of the demon. He is a graceful ballet dancer forced into
slavery but yearning to escape his dangerous master. When she sees a glowing aura around this young
man, she realizes he isn’t just any ordinary lad, but something very
special. She knows she must try to save
him.
Captive of the
Darkness by Kasper
Beaumont is up for pre-order
via Amazon. The book will be published on 14 December 2019.
Excerpt from
Captive of Darkness:
Small
sandy feet pounded the warm pavement along the beach. His heartbeat thrummed in his ears, faster
than he ever thought possible. The
whispering kept getting closer, no matter how far or fast he ran. He swiped a cap from outside a shower
cubicle. It was rather large for his
head, a perfect disguise. This covered
most of his blond hair and shaded his eyes.
He hoped to outwit whoever was chasing him. Turning a corner, he dove into a shaded
alleyway and bent over to catch his breath.
An aching side-stitch now caught his attention, winding him. His hands trembled as they rested on shaking
and weakened knees. Turning his cap
backwards, he held his breath and peeked a look around the corner. There was no sign of pursuit. He let his breath out and wiped the sweat
cascading down his cheeks that had soaked his swim shirt. Fear drove him on. It was instinct, not a rational decision on
his behalf. Then all the hairs on his
body stood up on end. A cold shiver ran
down his spine. A shadow passed over
him. A whisper, quiet and close. Warm breath could be felt on his neck. He turned around slow. His eyes widened as his hands grasped for the
wall at his back. There was nowhere left
to run. "Oh please no...”
