But anyways, just a little reminder that on Tuesdays I'll do a query critique for anyone who sends it through as my way of saying thanks to all those who helped me. Please send me yours - katiejteller (@) gmail (dot) com
Lainey Scott is an academic. Her journey to find the lost
city of El Dorado is for that purpose alone, so she can write a strong thesis.
But when she adopts three orphaned jaguars her journey seems to take a life of
its own. They guide her and her team to the city where Lainey discovers
artifacts about Ziyah.
Ziyah is a believer of the old faith, the faith which if you
are discovered practicing it you are exiled. So when the High Judge’s son shows
interest in her, a pauper and half-breed, her faith is used against her to
force her from the city.
Lainey and Ziyah’s lives are drawn to each other over the
space of time as each sees visions and has dreams of the other. The more
artifacts and records Lainey finds about Ziyah, the more alive they become to
each other.
But there is a dark force in the city, sealed in from
Ziyah’s time which seeks Lainey’s blood. Both their lives are at stake if they
fail to understand one another and vanquish the shadows which lust for their
souls.
CITY OF GOLD is a Paranormal Romance which is complete at
113,000 words.
