Two Thousand Years: The Special Edition
The Special Edition hard cover for M.Dalto's bestselling and Watty-Award Winning epic fantasy, Two Thousand Years, will include BOTH of her Empire Saga novellas (Reylor's Lament and Treyan's Promise) in print...PLUS a special sneak peek look at Chapter One of the sequel novel!
TWO THOUSAND YEARS
Two thousand years ago, the Prophecy of Fire and Light foretold the coming of the Queen Empress who would lead the Empire into a time of peace and tranquility. But instead of the coming of a prosperous world, a forbidden love for the Empress waged a war that ravaged the land, creating a chasm between the factions, raising the death toll of innocent lives until the final, bloody battle.
Centuries later, Alexandra, a twenty-two-year-old barista living in Boston, is taken to an unfamiliar realm of mystery and magic where her life is threatened by Reylor, its banished Lord Steward. She crosses paths with Treyan, the arrogant and seductive Crown Prince of the Empire, and together they discover how their lives, and their love, are so intricately intertwined by a Prophecy set in motion so many years ago.
Alex, now the predestined Queen Empress Alexstrayna, whose arrival was foretold by the Annals of the Empire, controls the fate of her new home as war rages between the Crown Prince and Lord Steward. Either choice could tear her world apart as she attempts to keep the Empire's torrid history from repeating itself. In a realm where betrayal and revenge will be as crucial to her survival as love and honor, Alex must discover whether it is her choice - or her fate - that determines how she survives the Empire's rising conflicts.
REYLOR'S LAMENT
After being banished for questioning his own Fate, Reylor spent his years alone beyond the Borderlands, biding his time and honing his skills until the perfect moment to reclaim what he believed was his - the Empress. Through treachery and deceit, he clawed his way back into the Prophecy that all but abandoned him... but he didn't achieve it alone. With the help of allies new and known, the former Lord Steward will stop at nothing to see to it that both the Empress, and the Empire, remain by his side once and for all.
TREYAN'S PROMISE
Treyan lived his life bound by duty and honor, believing his future as told by the Prophecy of Fire and Light. Even after he found his Empress, he felt he was doing as he was foretold and in the best interest for the Empire. But when his own brother threatens to ruin all he holds dear, Treyan discovers it's love, and not duty or honor, that drives him to question everything he once knew.
MARK OF THE EMPRESS
The predestined life Alex finally accepted as her own was suddenly ripped from her as fast as it was given. Betrayed by those closest to her, she must figure out a way to get it all back, not only for herself as the rightful Empress, but to secure the safety of her own family.
Blinded by vengeance with hate running thick within her veins, the Empress must consider the ramifications of their return, for better or for worse. But when an unexpected visitor offers help assist with their attempts, Alex and Treyan need to determine how best to reclaim their Empire without more lives lost before whatever time they have left runs out.
