About The Book

As second son of the King of Levathia, seventeen-year-old Valerian desires the quiet life of a scholarly monk. But when he fails to save his older brother in battle, Valerian must instead become crown prince.

While a traitorous knight schemes against him, Valerian meets Mercy, a pacifist Healer with whom he can speak mind-to-mind like the great dragons. Their bond emboldens Valerian to seek out the legendary dragons and ask for their help against the monsters who killed his brother.

Can Valerian survive the traitor's assassins long enough to find the dragons? And if he does, can he convince them to lay aside their hatred of humans and help him save the land from destruction?

My Review

Mercy! Mercy!
Fantasy, Action, Suspense, Supernatural, and Romance, oh my! Mercy's Prince is a wonderful story where good vs. evil. The good guys are not always left unscathed from their pursuits. There is much sorrow bestowed on some and death does not elude even the best inhabitants of Levathia.That's where fiction resembles true life.

The multi-dimentional characters are extremely detailed to where I felt I knew them, especially Price Valerian and Mercy. The action is rampant, a real page turner that does not disappoint. I look forward to reading the next book in the "He Who Finds Mercy" series.

Purchase Mercy's Prince!

Opening his eyes, he turned on the water to rinse blood from the porcelain before lifting his gaze to the mirror to inspect the damage. What he saw there, however, frosted the blood in his veins. She was there, the silver lady who’d enfolded Amy. Now she floated in the mirror, smiling icily at him, her eyes flashing white fire as she stared at the blood dripping onto his chest. “I believe I told you to go away.” Her voice was like a blizzard, whirling, icy and absorbing the oxygen from the air. It mixed with the storm outside to create a vortex of panic inside him. His throat felt paralyzed. A chill rose up his spine and threatened to overtake his shivering body. It wasn’t fear exactly. More deep sadness, hopelessness, as if she were sucking all joy from him. “I assume you imagine yourself in love with her?” Her voice dripped with mock

Sixth sample chapter from Enchanted Holidays - Valentine's Day - HAUNTED HEARTS by Kim Cox Chapter One "How do you like it?" Lucy Ann Malloy, standing at the top of the stairs, turned to the right, then to the left as she modeled the blue and green pastel dress. "I found it in the attic with some of my old things." She lingered in the doorway on the main floor. "Well?" Lana Malloy glanced up from editing the ad for her new PI business. "Nice," she said and returned to her work. Lucy moved to Lana's side and gazed over her shoulder. "What are you working on?" "The ad for the newspaper and magazines. I've got to figure out how to attract some business, or I'll never make it through the first month." A chill filled the air surrounding Lana and she shivered, pulling her sweater tightly around her. "I have an idea and it's actually a pretty good one. I know who your first client can be." Without even g

Fourth sample chapter from Enchanted Holidays - New Years - Ghosts of Auld Lang Syne by Maureen McMahon Chapter One What house more stately hath there been Or can be, than is Man? to whose creation All things are in decay? --- George Herbert "Man" I hadn't expected the house to be so imposing. When Holly Purcell, my friend since childhood, asked me to accompany her to the remote New Hampshire property her grandmother had willed her, I'd expected a quaint little holiday cottage. What loomed before us, as my little blue car slid up the icy drive between twin rows of gnarled, naked willows, was something much more impressive—and much more sinister. Gripped by unkempt tangles of dormant vines and shrubbery and oblivious to the encroaching forest, the house thrust a multi-peaked roof, complete with stately turret, into a gray, wintry sky. Its windows observed our approach with dull disinterest. I couldn't help but shudder. "God! You didn't tell me it was so ol
