In January 2021, Warrior of the Kizan was re-published as Nephilim: Corruption: A Christian Space Princess Novel (Warriof the Kizan Book 1). This post has been edited for title and new cover.

Star Wars meets Edgar Rice Burroughs’ A Princess of Mars in this techno-magic tale of war and redemption!

Dakhar Talin, a member of a cursed, telepathic people, is the new head of security for the Royal House of Emun. When the princess, Tasia, is kidnapped, Dakhar’s investigation leads him to a sinister planet called Earth.

Nephilim: Corruption: A Christian Space Princess Novel

by Ann Margaret Lewis

[Previously available under the title Warrior of the Kizan.]

Death, death . . . The crunch of the snow said the word to him over and over.

I can hear this first line. The crunch of hardened snow beneath boots in a steady rhythm as he plods along. Death, cold and foreboding – again and again. It sets a tone for the book and what we can expect. Is it a death from the past that haunts this character, the threat of near death, or death in the future? Or all three? His own death or someone else’s?

What’s the first line of the book you’re reading? Or the book nearest to you?

I Am Margaret Series by Corinna Turner

I Am MargaretI Am Margaret by Corinna Turner

This was my first foray into a dystopian world – one with a Catholic underground, a brave and reckless hero, and a strong and virtuous heroine. Well-drawn characters and enough tension and action to keep you turning pages long after you should have set the book down. I don’t believe my heart has ever thumped like that during a novel’s climax. Can’t wait for book two! Continue reading →

Discovery by Karina Fabian: A Journey Worth Taking

/ CAstfalk / 5 Comments

Discovery by Karina FabianWhile I’ve watched a fair amount of science fiction in movies and on TV, I’ve read very little. Despite the fact that I like science, detailed scientific descriptions in novels tend to make my eyes gloss over.

Even so, I’ve been wanting to read some of Karina Fabian’s work, and Discovery, published by Full Quiver Publishing, provided the perfect opportunity.

I’m not sorry I gave Discovery a shot, and I’m happy to report that my eyes didn’t gloss over once!

Jump ahead for an interview with the author, my review, and an excerpt!

Sisters Ann, Tommie and Rita are part of a classified mission to explore an alien ship that has crash landed on an asteroid three billion miles from earth. Humanity’s first contact with beings from beyond the solar system is bound to unlock the mystery of life in the universe, but the crew have their own secrets; hidden fears, desires, horrible sins – and a mission to kill. Researchers discover something unique about the third arm of the ship: something wonderful, something terrifying. Something holy. This discovery challenges Rita and Ann to confront their own pasts in order to secure the safety of the mission and the very souls of the crew. Continue reading →
