Asherah

Bar'axus Bridge Chronicles #3

by Aimee Roseland

Is it better to live safe in the shade of the stone, or to die quick but free in the sweet light of dawn?


Asherah’s mother found two perfect ways to keep her daughter safe: strand her on a world disconnected from the Bridge, and hide her in a suit of armor impervious to blade or prying eyes.

Her mother left Asherah safe. Safe in the gravelands of a lost world. Safe in the aging suit. Safe for eternity...

But when a thief disrupts her solitude and offers Asherah the chance to escape, she takes it!

Her journey will lead her across countless worlds, and amidst the fantastical new creatures that populate them, through the heartbreak of betrayal and the wonder of self-discovery. Along the way she will meet one man capable of seeing beneath her decaying armor to the truth of her soul beneath, and another willing to tear apart the very fabric of reality to possess it.

Asherah and Dhagon must find a way to outsmart the most advanced being of the known worlds, or risk losing each other forever.

But it isn’t just the fate of their love at stake. It’s the fate of the entire universe.

About the author

I was born and raised near Las Vegas, NV and grew up dreaming of rain. I also dreamt of heroes and villains and the women that inspired the best and worst in them.

It seemed like every book I read as a teen was a classic bodice-ripper. Wimpy-virgin-heroine always making bad choices and getting herself in trouble, cue the macho hero, yadda yadda yadda. Those books are what inspired me to write my own stories, not because I loved them, but because I constantly found myself tossing them aside and fuming. I would think of all the ways the story would have been better: if she had just picked up the sword and stabbed the bad guy when she had the chance...

I LOVE writing, and I love the new direction that fiction has taken over the last decade. So many amazing, strong female leads now! And so many new writers that finally have a voice in the indie publishing community.

I was blessed with a wonderful husband who supports my passion for writing and reading, and who really helped me focus my desire to publish my work. When I'm not busy enjoying my daughter and husband, I'm usually developing a new story idea, or sneaking in some time with my favorite authors.

I'm a bit of a hermit, they called it being "shy" when I was a kid, but I love hearing from fans. I also love ferrets, hiking, chili dark chocolate, strong coffee, nursing mamas, and rain.
