Hey Hey everyone! Let me just say while I realllllyyyy tried this month's post is going to have no doughnuts or pictures of Lake Michigan.
I know .... right! But as much as I tried to find a way to include doughnuts... It just wasn't there.
As most of you know I write steamy romance suspense so basically every book I write has a villain in it. But they are your basic serial killer with my little spin (like in my upcoming release the killer tats doughnuts across his victim's bellies and in A Mermaid's Wish the serial killer is Neptune's nephew).
A Mermaid's Wish |
My favorite villain I wrote ... I loved writing her...a lot! Is Ovezara. She is my fantasy series under my pen name Tasarla Romaney. This was a fun series to write not just because of Ovezara but it has e magic, adventure, fantasy
creatures, and things that live no where else than in my mind.
So without any more delay let me introduce you to Ovezara.
The glass orb
sailed through the air and smashed against the stone wall.
"He's alive and
at the hag's door," Ovezara screamed. The mud men sank back as she stalked
around the chamber.
"Mistress,
he is far from winning." A zombie whose name she couldn't recall leaned
against a fireplace mantle. The sorceress growled and raised her hand to smite
the thing.
"Really,
Ovezara. If you try to destroy my favorite minion, it will take centuries to
train a replacement. Your replacement." Trelek stepped into the room. The
keeper's gaze was hard.
The bricks
above the zombie's head crumbled. Ovezara wasn't sure what upset her more,
Crenshaw or the truth in the keeper's statement. The look in the warlock's eyes
would have crippled her with fear a few years ago, but today her stomach merely
roiled as she prepared herself for the pain. "I've questioned your
usefulness often in these past weeks. Maybe I was wrong, and you weren't
ready."
She walked
over to the window. The cool spring breeze carried the scent of death. Below her
were the feeding pits. She chose to ignore his comment. "It's not just
that he lived to reach the oracle but that he has been joined by the
others."
"They
will not succeed in getting the Scepter of Hope. Your beasts grow stronger, and
more are freed every night. The barrier separating the worlds is weakening.
Soon everyone from the Baicikla Sea to the Dovazitic Mountains will fear you.
No one will challenge your rule." The keeper moved to stand beside her,
the hint of brimstone accompanying him.
Ovezara looked
at Trelek. The keeper had been her only companion for what seemed like
centuries, but in actuality was sixteen years. His black hair stood in spikey
clumps as it had the first day, she'd met him. If it hadn't been for his
guidance, her power would have never developed past that of a healer. Solid
black eyes bore into her. At one time, they would have seen into her spirit and
fear would have danced across her stomach. Today, she smiled. "That has
been your promise. One I have waited patiently for."
If you'd like to read more of Ovezara, the series is The Night of The Gryphon and the first book is The Hollow King (the second is The Warrior Queen and the 3rd will be out in August is The Prince of Light)
Blurb
Thought by most to be a simple child's chant… A king of no
kingdom Who walks among the living yet is void of all but breathe He will be
known as the Hollow King and will yield the Spector. The Warrior Queen with
compassion will fuel the Hope The one who walks on two legs but has the soul of
an animal will guide the Spector’s magic. Together they will use the Spector of
Hope to rid the land of evil. Until creatures most thought to be make-believe
start to hunt at night… Freed by Ovezara, a sorceress of what seems to be
unlimited power. Queen Taraly dying father's command is to visit Grandmother
June and learn what must be done to stop them. King Crenshaw has lost his
kingdom to the Ovezara and vows to have revenge. Sancha returns from a hunting
trip to find his father's body torn to shreds by an evil so dark people refuse
to acknowledge it. The three unite to find the fabled Spector of Hope. As their
quest starts to unfold, they realize that the line between good and evil is
often blurred. What they believed to good is twisted. Can they locate the
Spector of Hope in time to restore good and save all from the evil Ovezara
unleashes?
Thanks for stopping by and have a great month!

Ovezara is a truly frightening villain! Sounds like she sold her soul to a Devil (Trelek) for power. Now she's a monster, too.
Loved your excerpt!!!
Definitely an interesting concept and a unique villain. Your covers are beautiful. You may want to take a second look at your blurb. I found it to be confusing and not at all representative of the fine work in your excerpt.
Lyncee, miss Lake Michigan and donuts but enjoyed this post anyway . Thank you for reminding us of your alter-ego Tasarla Romancy.
