The Promise of Christmas (ePub)

BOOK SEQUEL I

The First Christmas

This is a road-twisting, cliff-hanging, gut wrenching, heart-breaking, quest-driven story that whip-cracks the struggle between good and evil. Will Prince Ezra complete his quest after surviving the bitter cold Siberian Mountains and marching through the deep burning sun-parched sands of the slave-trade wastelands? Can he defeat the ruthless fur-traders, evil-stinking robbers, and mean-as-hell soldiers after being smitten by the ravishing beauty of the Siberian princess? Or will her ferocious Siberian Grizzly guardian ravish him instead?...and what of the mysterious oracle who lives in the foothills of the Star Lake region wandering the dark halls of his candlelit cave telling bizarre stories of ancient warring cave dwellers and a fiery star? What role does he play in this tale of wonder and treachery?

BOOK SEQUEL II

The Sleighmaker

Was it just the calm before the storm, like a thief lurking in the dark? Or the ebbing tide just before the crash of a tidal wave. Was Prince Ezra drawn into la-la-land when he returned to the comforts of his kingdom with his beautiful Siberian princes?

...so it seemed, until his son met a twelve-year-old boy named Jesus in a temple, and was handed a gift from Jesus to take back to the cave dwellers in the Star Lake region of Siberia. Is this a mysterious link to the oracle in the cave?

Will the prince endanger his family with the perils of traveling north? How will he overcome the rampaging armies gobbling up land for their empire, and dirt-bag sword-slashing thieves stalking the dangerous trade routes? How will he prevent them from killing him, taking his children as slaves, and stealing the special gift for the cave dwellers? Indeed... it becomes a screaming, sweat-breaking, hair-wrenching, knee-trembling nightmare.

From the very first moment the transcendental voice in the heavens whispers its cosmic instructions, until the final moments of this epic Herculean adventure of the heart, this story will tease your curiosity into flying high like a roller-coaster sleigh-ride zipping through the star filled skies. This tale will alchemize, agonize, tantalize, emotionalize, and captivate your soul into graceful submission, filling it finally, with a peaceful desire.

Read it at your own peril.

Book III Sequel - The Promise of Christmas - The Promise Kept (soon to be released)

Peace and Prosperity is enjoyed at long last in Tobolsk. Traders from far and near make annual treks to the north to trade for the best fur, using not only precious metals like gold and silver but also rare gems and crafted items of every kind, and for anyone willing to spend time browsing the market square. More important, and now widely known from afar, is the annual Christmas Celebration in Tobolsk where the story of the trip to Bethlehem is told while children gather around to hear of the coming of Angels announcing the birth of the Christ child, and the journey made by Prince Ezra and the Magi battling thieves and roman soldiers to fulfill their destiny, and when it was over, gifts were exchanged by everyone while merry songs are sung by all.

It was at one of these festive moments that a traveler from the homeland of the Prince gave news of Jesus and the mission he had started to give hope to all for peace and happiness. It was then that Nikko who was a young boy when he met Jesus in the temple of Jerusalem, decided it was time for him to fulfill his destiny.
