Khizara by Drew Bankston

Can a 200-year-old prophecy and a non-believer save two worlds from destruction?

Linsora Anselm is a Khizaran archeologist. She hears voices from the past, making her perfect for the job, but she's stuck in prison after sticking up for her principles-that is, until a mysterious individual pays the guards to help her escape. How will she react when she discovers her champion is the devil incarnate?

When Permac breaks Linsora out of prison, he can't understand why. He's drawn to her... but she threatened to kill him more than once because she doesn't trust his ability to sense and influence emotions. She believes he and his race are evil, and she could be right.

Forced together, they journey through the cosmos in search of historical facts they (and the rest of the galaxy) thought were correct. They discover pockets of truth on faraway planets-as well as a 200-year-old prophecy that seems to intertwine Linsora and Permacs' destinies.

Through a galaxy of fate, love, deception, and the unknown, Permac and Linsora must learn to trust each other to protect their two worlds. Otherwise, the prophecy says war will annihilate everything in its path.

Khizara is an action-packed, adventure-filled space opera of mystery, love, archaeology, and bad guys that can control the emotions of others with a thought. If you're a fan of Issac Asimov, Arthur C. Clarke, Ray Bradbury, or Frank Herbert, you'll love this story.

Drew, who was born and reared in California, began moving about when he was 14 years old. Drew has traveled throughout the country and met folks from California to the East Coast, Texas to Idaho. As the stories in his head were so many that they had to be written down, he realized he had to start writing! He's had work published in magazines like Horseman and Appaloosa News, founded a science fiction magazine called Galactic Alliance, and most recently released The Eyes of Tokorel: The Color of Emotion, the first book in a trilogy. He's also authored a book about Bell's Palsy, and he's working on two more fiction novels that will be released in late 2013 and early 2014. Drew presently resides and works in Northern Colorado, where he finds time to explore his passion for writing on a daily basis!
