I'm very excited to announce the release of Light's Bane, the second book in the Daughters of the People series. Here's the blurb:

Daniella Nehring is a fierce warrior with a turbulent past. Born in the earliest days of World War II to unknown parents, she was raised by Rebecca Upton, one of the People’s most notable leaders. Dani has always had questions about her parents’ identities, information Rebecca refuses to reveal, leaving a gaping hole in Dani's own identity.

Dani travels to New York on Rebecca's orders to search for the mysterious woman who stole a copy of the Prophecy of Light from the People. There, she teams up with Dave Winstead, an FBI agent working undercover with the People's most ancient and deadly enemy. Dave has a soft spot for the young warrior that divides his loyalties between her and the job he took in order to fulfill a promise he made a decade and a half before, a promise he's determined to keep, no matter what the cost.

As Dani and Dave are drawn deeper into the hunt for the missing artifact, Dani's immortality is jeopardized, and with it, her ability to reclaim the Prophecy. When she learns the truth about her heritage, Dani is forced to choose between her heart and her duty, and must confront her past in a struggle that will change her life forever.

If you haven't read The Prophecy and are afraid you'll miss part of the story because of that, don't be. Yes, there are story lines carried over that pertain to the series arc, but each of these books is designed to read as a stand-alone. If you get lost with the characters, I have a handy-dandy list of them here.

Light's Bane is available as a paperback (available at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and CreateSpace) and an e-book (available at Amazon, Google Play, Kobo, and Smashwords, with availability at other outlets soon). To celebrate its release, The Prophecy is on sale for $.99 through the end of September, while A Higher Purpose will be available as a free Kindle download from 13 - 17 June.

Enjoy!
