The Tales of Zitreg

M. Geritz

Synopsis

The stories circulating about the existence of a secret, of an accursed cave hidden deep in the forest, have always attracted the attention and curiosity of fearless men, who have tried, in vain, to locate its exact position. Its access is protected, as is the secret it guards: a Library guarded by Zitreg, the keeper of all the knowledge and magic it contains, who possesses the ability to discern the true potential behind certain creatures, lost in the current of their lives, but all with something special. The brave adventurers, seekers and all manner of things who’ve found him and the Library are given a choice: either continue on their current paths or choose to become Sages, giving up the lives they once knew in exchange for embracing a new beginning. However, soon, all the chosen ones find themselves on the verge of war against an enemy that moves in the shadows and is hidden in plain sight. One that is as formidable as intangible…M. A. Geritz's career as an author, or rather, the moment when, almost without realizing it, he undertook his path as a novelist, began during the screening of Revenge of the Sith. From that point forward, the author embarked on a personal journey searching for fresh tales, tacks, turns, schemes and philosophical ideas. His journey led him to immerse himself initially in the works of renowned authors such as Tolkien and Lewis, then Rowling and Sanderson, and ultimately to Oda and Kishimoto. Awestruck by their craftsmanship and attention to detail, he eventually began creating his own stories. His time at Rollins College helped him realize his true potential, thanks to some teachers who taught him how to write a good story while sticking to the original concept. Subsequently, following a decade-long journey into fiction, he crafted his own unique world, creating The Tales of Zitreg.

Hogg

Samuel R. Delany

The narrator of Hogg is a Huck Finn–like youngster caught in society’s most sinister seams—but unlike Huck, he passes no moral judgments on the violence he takes part in . . .Hogg is the story of a man—a depraved trucker named Franklin Hargus, whom the people he works for call Hogg—and of the nameless boy who tells the story of three days of unspeakable sexual violence and devastation, which, together, they initiate in a small seaside American city in the middle of the last century. Hogg is a towering brute who makes his living as a rapist for hire. By the end of a series of vicious attacks, kidnappings, and mass murders, the reader will wonder who is more corrupt: the man or the boy.   Samuel R. Delany completed his first draft of Hogg within a day, if not within hours, of the 1969 Stonewall Riots in New York City and revised it over the next four years, though it was not released until 1995.

Tender Betrayal

Rosanne Bittner

Stolen kisses and secret reunions lead to a passion that civil war cannot sever in this glorious historical romance from the bestselling author of Caress.   Beautiful, proud Audra Brennan feels like a stranger in a foreign land when she comes north from Louisiana to study music. But when she savors her first forbidden taste of desire in the arms of handsome lawyer Lee Jeffreys, his caresses spark a flame within her that burns away the differences between rebel and Yankee, all objections silenced by the fierce beating of two wild hearts falling impetuously, impossibly in love.   Suddenly cannon fire shatters the country. Principled, impassioned, and committed to a nation united, Lee answers the call to fight against the Confederacy, while Audra hurries home to a plantation shadowed by the darkening cloud of war. But in the most terrible of circumstances, can either afford to surrender their heart?   “Power, passion, tragedy and triumph are Rosanne Bittner’s hallmarks. Again and again, she brings readers to tears.” —RT Book Reviews
