The Mirror of the Moon by Travis Simmons
With the death of one of the
companions, Grace must answer for the secrets she’s kept. The path
before them is ever lengthening in their quest for Amber. There are
changes they all must face, and when Joya enters her trials of sorcery,
danger lurks around every corner. The power within Angelica and Jovian
is strengthening and with it comes confusion. What are they? It is
painfully obvious nothing like them has ever existed before. Why is it
at times they seem more one person than two separate people? With all
the mystery surrounding their latent power, Angelica stumbles upon a
passage in a book of sorcery indicating she is evil. Could she be the
Mask prophecy speaks of? Is she destined to turn against her own flesh?
To make matters worse, the Well of Wyrding (a giant well that controls
all sorcery) has been breached and wyrd itself is spiraling into chaos.
Author Bio:
I have always been a do-it-yourselfer. I haven’t had any formal
education on writing, and I haven’t been raised around writer types. For
that matter, I wasn’t even encouraged to read when I was a kid, even
though plenty of people in my family read. When I was a teenager, I
discovered Cliff’s Notes on Mythology, and it sparked something in me.
It was like a floodgate had been opened, and all of these stories
started rushing in. I would get ideas at random times, and I would jot
them down. I have a pretty big file system of everything I have ever
written. Someday I will get to them and put them all into electronic
files. There is some good material in there, but there are a lot of bad
stories too.
I started writing when I was thirteen or fourteen. At an early age I
was already writing books of Saracin (the world The Bonds of Blood
takes place in). The first book I wrote of that place was “The Calling
of the Two” (not yet released). While I was writing that, I kept
thinking of these characters Jovian and Angelica. I knew they had a part
to play in the storyline, but they weren’t going to be in the same
series. For that matter, they weren’t even going to be in the same
age. As I finished the first draft of “The Calling of the
Two” I went on to write the first book of Angelica and Jovian’s story.
At that time it was The Mirror of the Moon. Later an editor told me it
was so massive that I should make the one volume into two, and so The
Bonds of Blood was born, and The Revenant Wyrd Saga went from a planned
three to six.
That story has taken many forms until now, and I am sure if I didn’t
declare that it was “done” it could continue to transform.
