Jaron doesn’t remember his life before captivity. Even trying to remember sends an excruciating pain through him. How can he lead anyone when he can’t remember who he is? Why does the mysterious old woman, Magada, think it is so important that Jaron reach Sanctuary? Why does the beautiful but evil keeper, Naria, and her powerful master, Lord Vincent, seem determined to stop him?
On his journey, Jaron will meet many humans and encounter strange creatures, both powerful and evil. He will find allies and enemies along the way. His charisma will draw people to him and the hope of Sanctuary, and though his mind does not remember, his heart knows who he is. It guides his true mission. Only time will tell if Jaron can survive the road to Sanctuary and lead his people home.
Teresa Howard makes her home in Hoover, Al, where she shares her abode with Gracie Jane, her furry dachshund friend. She is a life-long fan of science fiction and fantasy, and her dream since childhood has been to see her books in libraries and bookstores.
In 2000, Teresa participated in a Writers’ Workshop taught by the late Ann Crispin and has been a regular at DragonCon’s Writers Track led by Nancy Knight for many years.
Though she was employed for many years as a technology coordinator and computer lab instructor in the Birmingham School System, Teresa’s passions remained writing science fiction and fantasy and researching genealogy. Many of her stories have elements of both. Her work covers a wide range of speculative fiction and has been published in magazines, anthologies, webzines, and on iPhone apps in the U.S., Canada, and the U.K.
