THE HISTORY: Over five thousand years ago, a renegade faction of angels abandoned the spiritual realm and began their inhabitation of earth. Worshiped as gods for their wisdom and power, they corrupted the realm of the physical and forever altered the course of history.

THE PROPHECY: Amidst the chaos of a dying world, a lone voice foretold the awakening of a warrior who would bring an end to this evil perpetrated against all of creation. But with the cataclysmic destruction of earth and rebirth of humanity, the prophecy went unfulfilled and eventually faded from the memory of our kind—until now!

THE AWAKENED: The physical dimension is fractured. What remain now are numerous fragmented worlds moving simultaneously through time, sharing a common history, connected only by a guarded portal. On a parallel earth, in the city of Bastul, Colonel Adair Lorus disappears while investigating the death of an informant, triggering a series of events which will tear his family apart and set in motion the resolution of an ancient struggle. Kael, sentenced to death after rising up against the cruel leadership of his new step-father, is rescued from prison and trained in the arts of war by a mystical order of clerics. Excelling in every aspect of his training, Kael inwardly struggles to give himself fully to the methods of his new family, or the god they worship. Maeryn, bitter over the disappearance of her husband and supposed execution of her son, fears for her life at the hands of her newly appointed husband. Finding comfort and purpose in her unborn child, she determines to undermine his authority by reaching out to an underground social movement known as the Resistance. After being forced from his home, Kael’s former mentor, Saba, uncovers a clue to Adair’s disappearance. Sensing a connection to his own forgotten past, Saba begins an investigation which leads to the discovery of a secret military organization operating within the Orudan Empire.

In book one of his debut series, Jason Tesar delves into the heart of an ancient legend, embarking on an epic saga that will journey from earth’s mythological past to its post-apocalyptic future, blending the genres of fantasy, sci-fi, and military/political suspense.

The Jungle Book By Rudyard Kipling

Jack Hammer is a successful, self-made man and has all the female attention he wants at work and everywhere else he turns. Despite the extra attention from his secretary, he needs something to take his mind off of the long hours he puts in at his desk job. Searching for a change of pace, Jack jumps on a flight to the tropics seeking adventure and something different. Will the sensuous flight attendant be able to take his mind off the daily grind? Can the clerk in the surfboard shop with the long, tanned legs distract him from the mundane, dreary city life?

Approximately 3100 words.

Adults only.

Excerpt:
After a twenty minute commute home, Jack pulled the black Boxster into the garage under his condo and paused for a minute as he considered taking the powerful motorcycle out for a spin. No, he needed a deeper release that even a fast ride wouldn't deliver.

Jack threw some clothes into duffel bag and grabbed an extra wad of cash out of the safe behind the large painting in his home office. He knew having a wall safe seemed cliché when he had it installed but it really was one of the last places anyone would look for a safe.

Several hours later, he leaned back into his first class seat and stared out the window at the sun drenched Pacific Ocean nearly six miles beneath the plane. A sultry voice interrupted his reverie asking "Is there anything at all I can get for you Mr. Hammer?" The flight attendant's obvious emphasis on the word anything made Jack wonder what that sexy voice would sound like after a few hours of being fucked. Probably a bit ragged and even sexier, he decided.

"No, thank you," Jack smiled broadly and wondered if she would slip him her phone number before the flight was over.

The next morning, Jack woke up as the sun was rising and walked out to the oceanfront deck. His foot brushed a black, silky thong and he was glad Samantha had booked him a secluded villa because he was sure the shrieks of Robin "The Flight Attendant," would have kept any neighbors awake. As he suspected, she couldn't wait until the end of the flight to lean over his seat and drop a note into his shirt pocket while pursing her lips seductively at him.
