BOOK BLURB:
In a fictitious, mysterious, and futuristic Earth, the Western and Eastern continents are poised to become entangled in an ancient holy rivalry and epic battle.
The enigmatic and powerful king of Asukhas rules over the technologically, scientifically, and militarily advanced Western Continent, closely guarding his blissfully ignorant population of captive humans.
The golden-haired spirit, Ahankara, is suddenly released from captivity in the void and unleashes a powerful reptile upon the world's oceans.
Associate professor of philosophy Anjali Valpolicella seeks psychotherapy from renowned Western psychologist Dr. AlexanDRA, and their therapy sessions may reveal an important secret to possessing the much-coveted Trident of Kumarun.
In Shakti of the Illuminated Lotus: A Dark, Erotic & Futuristic Fantasy for Adults oceans roil as factions doggedly compete in a dark and erotic quest to find the Trident, hidden by the Eastern continent's divine panthers for centuries. The fate of the World teeters on the brink. Who will possess the Trident? Do they want to use it to gain access to the holy realm of Juwala, or will they use the Trident to destroy the realm and take command of military forces of unimaginable power?

EXCERPT THREE:
“I have found the gateway to Juwala in the womb of the ocean! The path created by the Spirits of Illumination when their leaders Himayiel and Gimael came to Earth” Jashmitha paused intentionally.
A deep frown appeared on the king’s forehead as he unclasped his arms slowly, his mouth opened to speak but words could not be expressed, he was in utter disbelief of what he had just heard.
Mother Balaktaan nodded convincingly “It does exist AlexanDRA!”
The king shook his head vigorously “No! My father dispelled those rumors! There is no such gate only a void between Earth and the underworld of Jackal King Vihaan, where Ahankara has been exiled!! You could not have found something that never existed! My father would have never kept something like this from me!” he said earnestly and walked to her, holding her shoulders firmly to look into her languid eyes.
“AlexanDRA…listen to me…the path and gate to Juwala were protected by the kingdom of Nakandas” she said in her shrill voice without shrinking away from him.
“NO! No! No! You are lying…you are mistaken!! He would have told me!!” he clenched her shoulders, her body starting to writhe beneath from the pain.
“AlexanDRA…the kingdom of Nakandas, divine serpents of the ocean, their kingdom has disappeared, the path and the gate have been left unprotected! You must call a gathering with the Spirits of Illumination!”

ReplyDeleteThank you so much for hosting today!
ReplyDeleteWho is your favorite character in this book, and why?
ReplyDeleteDear Tracie, have loved your fantastic questions in this tour ππ Sooo…there are sooo many characters who all play very important parts in the entire book…hmmm… π€ it would be easy to say Dr. AlexanDRA or Anjali Valpolicella but it is actually Nikolai. Because he is hard to like because of his cold logic and unwavering stoicism. His love is harsh on the surface but sincere and to die for in his core. And of course he is a brilliant scientist! Ha so there it is! Thank you for askingπ
