Faux City is a walled city oasis in the middle of the desert. The citizens are said to never go beyond the walls and are protected by Bane: God of Gore. Life in Faux City is structured but still a lot of fun. Holidays are highly celebrated including Sacrifice Day when they give thanks to those who will give their lives as human sacrifices during the night.
But this time things don't go as planned and the city rises in a panic. One of the sacrifices has escaped and fear of their god's wrath only grows. Will Faux City fall to the wrath of Bane if Deidra isn't returned? Or will their fears be proved nothing but superstition? Find out when Sacrifice Her comes out later this year.
teaser:( now mind in overdrive working out various senarios:)
ReplyDeleteSacrifice day is supposed to be fun? Yikes! LOL.
ReplyDeleteGuess that's why venturing beyond the walls is dangerous if the city is in the middle of the desert.
ReplyDeleteWOW- that is crazy. Great snippet. I'd like to see what happens next.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a very interesting setting. It has a "Logan's Run" sort of feel to it.
ReplyDeleteOoh, great teaser. It just takes one to buck the system for things to start unravelling...
ReplyDeleteThat's a great introduction to your new book. It grabs you from the beautiful picture, the the mystique of a hidden civilization that may not be so civilized.
ReplyDeleteThere will have to be a rising of course, where the people fight back against Bane!
ReplyDeleteI like that name! Very cool picture too!

ReplyDeleteI've always been intrigued by desert landscapes.
With a city named Faux, you know there's gonna be high drama.
ReplyDeleteWow! That sounds very interesting. I'll definitely put that on my list of soon-to-be-released. Love that name Faux, btw.

Faux City sounds like a fascinating place. Is it on Earth? or some planet of your own invention? If it's on Earth, I'd love to know the circumstances of how it came about.
ReplyDeleteI love the casual way you mention that Sacrifice Day is a fun day...scary.
