Desolate Blind Lineage

T. S. Lewis's Desolate: Blind Lineage rattles the status-quo of contemporary fantasy as the rich Emberverse delves further into both wonder and chaos, showcasing dastardly new foes, robust magic, and conflicting senses of hope and doom. When Jade, a blind twenty-five year-old Paladiness and special-needs teacher begins to uncover the secrets of her past, Deviant monsters threaten to destroy all she holds dear. When visions of horrors unspeakable lash her very mind, she rediscovers an ancient, dusty necklace in her closet, and is thrown into a dangerous world: A world brighter than a solar flare— a world darker than black mist shrouding thousands of lost souls screeching to be free. Jade balances both worlds while maintaining her day-job, befriending shady militants, fortifying magical cities, and teaching creatures of light to embrace the very essence of themselves, often battling just to see the break of dawn. As her vision fades, the past and future become clearer... But is she watching time, or is time watching her? From upcoming author T. S. Lewis, Desolate: Blind Lineage captivates minds, tells a vibrant tale with visceral friendship, honor, and gritty violence, and captures the unforgettable, unbreakable bonds between Paladins, Entities, and their respective worlds. The war for the Spirit World has begun.

"Former Navy rescue swimmer Brian Dickinson was roughly 1,000 feet from the summit of Mount Everest ... when his Sherpa became ill and had to turn back, leaving Brian with a difficult decision: should he continue to push for the summit, or head back down the mountain? After carefully weighing the options, Brian decided to continue toward the summit ... Four hours later, Brian solo-summited the highest peak in the world, but the celebration was short-lived ... Suddenly, his vision became blurry, his eyes started to burn, and within seconds, he was rendered almost completely blind"--Amazon.com.

Hugo and Shirley Jackson award-winning Peter Watts stands on the cutting edge of hard SF with his acclaimed novel, Blindsight Two months since the stars fell... Two months of silence, while a world held its breath. Now some half-derelict space probe, sparking fitfully past Neptune's orbit, hears a whisper from the edge of the solar system: a faint signal sweeping the cosmos like a lighthouse beam. Whatever's out there isn't talking to us. It's talking to some distant star, perhaps. Or perhaps to something closer, something en route. So who do you send to force introductions with unknown and unknowable alien intellect that doesn't wish to be met? You send a linguist with multiple personalities, her brain surgically partitioned into separate, sentient processing cores. You send a biologist so radically interfaced with machinery that he sees x-rays and tastes ultrasound. You send a pacifist warrior in the faint hope she won't be needed. You send a monster to command them all, an extinct hominid predator once called vampire, recalled from the grave with the voodoo of recombinant genetics and the blood of sociopaths. And you send a synthesist—an informational topologist with half his mind gone—as an interface between here and there. Pray they can be trusted with the fate of a world. They may be more alien than the thing they've been sent to find. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.
