Description:

A supernatural love triangle that tests the bounds of science, truth, and faith.

Regent Lela of Asiya is the most powerful person on her planet but she is powerless to save the life of her beloved soulmate—Zion Grace. For thirty years they lived as husband and wife, but Zion’s time is at an end. Lela must go on without him.

“There will never be anyone else for me.”

Despite having died, nothing can keep Zion from his soulmate. He’s back but not as the man he once was. Zion must help Lela move on with her life, lest he lose her forever. But how can Zion convince Lela to accept the love and affections of another man when he still wants her for himself?

“I love you, Lela. My heart is forever yours.”

Lela and Zion are bound souls, destined to live eternity together. For these lovers, death is not an end, but a fateful beginning.

GUEST POST

Enjoy the music playlist for “Of Beasts and Bonds"

Elton John once said, “Music has healing power. It has the ability to take people out of themselves for a few hours.” I believe the same is true for an entertaining and engaging novel. And it’s the healing power that, when a reader finishes the last page, the last word in a book, they feel better for having had the experience. Perhaps even a little sad because they’ve reached the end of an enjoyable journey. Music, like a great novel, evokes much emotion in the listener. There’s this beautiful song written by Luther Vandross entitled, “Dance with My Father.” It’s about a son whose father has passed away. As much as the son misses his father, his only wish is to give his grieving mother a final dance with her husband. If you’ve never heard the song before, treat yourself and listen. Here’s a YouTube link to the original music video

I remember hearing the song while driving and it bringing tears to my eyes. A few years earlier, my father had passed away. Over a decade later, I cannot hear that lovely song without thinking of my father. That’s the healing power of music, the bone-deep emotional impact that lingers long after the song has ended. For this guest blog, I compiled a list of nine songs that, when I listen to the lyrics, truly expresses the various emotions I hope a reader will experience while reading “Of Beasts and Bonds.” 

Here are a few lyrics to get you ready for the “Of Beasts and Bonds” musical experience:

I never knew love like this before, now I'm lonely never more

Since you came into my life You are my lovelight, this I know

And I'll never let you go You my all, you're part of me 

Never Knew Love Like This Before, Stephanie Mills 

Girl don't you know you’re so beautiful

I wanna give all my love to you girl

Not just tonight but the rest of your life

I wanna be always here by your side 

So Beautiful, Musiq Soulchild 

Every time I let you in, abracadabra magic happens as we swim

Higher and higher finally we reach heaven

Come back to earth and then we do it all again 

Brown Skin, India Arie 

“Where words leave off, music begins.” -Heindrich Heine
