Happy Friday everyone! Today I'm super excited to welcome author Caris Roane who has stopped by on her
Warm-Up-Your-Winter-Blog-Tour.
Ms. Roane is promoting her latest book in the
Guardians of Ascension series,
Gates of Rapture (don't be fooled by the winged heroes on the covers...it's not what you think!) and has a little background on the book to share with us, along with a teaser excerpt.
What makes this tour even more awesome? There are a bunch of fantastic prizes to be won throughout the tour so be sure to check out all the stops. So lets get onto the good stuff...
Hi, everyone! I want to thank Romancing the Dark Side for having me today as part of my
WARM-UP-YOUR-WINTER BLOG TOUR. On most of the blogs on this tour, I’ll be revealing excerpts from the sixth book in my vampire series called,
GATES OF RAPTURE (12/24). I created the tour with the hope that you might get to know my Guardians of Ascension, who are my most beloved
winged vampire warriors. I know the covers have wings on them, but the books aren’t about angels AT ALL…
just vampires…with wings. I also have goodies for you to win, details to follow!
GATES OF RAPTURE is the sixth installment of Guardians of Ascension and features Warrior Leto, a famous, ancient Warrior of the Blood, six-six, long straight black hair, piercing blue eyes, and built to battle death vampires for centuries and drive the ladies crazy! Major yummy! Romantic Times Magazine gave
GATES OF RAPTURE a
4 ½ Star, TOP PICK review! I couldn’t be happier!
Today’s excerpt comes from the opening of chapter seven. You’ll notice that I start the chapter with a proverb that comes from a Fourth Ascender, named Beatrice, known for her wisdom. Beatrice has even counseled Grace over the previous several months. All of the chapters of the Guardians of Ascension novels open with a poem or a proverb or sometimes an excerpt from Beatrice’s memoirs. As for the excerpt, you’ll get a glimpse into one aspect of this paranormal world that I call ‘deep mind engagement’. The italicized words in this excerpt indicate telepathic communication. But Leto’s purpose in being inside Grace’s mind is to open up her blue obsidian flame power, a concept I’ve been developing over the course of the last three novels. Grace’s power, once opened, will allow her to participate in an obsidian flame triad. See what you think about Leto’s delve into Grace’s mind…
