Of Gaea
Of Legacies #1
By- Victoria Escobar
Genre- YA Fantasy
Her choice will change the world.
She hated the wheelchair. Hated the way it made her feel less than what she was. Most of all she hated not being able to do all the things she used to. Ari had been a track and field star, an archery champion and an Eskrima pro. Now she was confined to a wheelchair slowly dying inside from its restraints.
Medical science wasn’t working. The tests, the drugs, the therapies were all useless and a waste of time. She was tired of wasting her time; she was tired of failure. It was time to look away from the obvious and try something unconventional.
Nothing was ever free and that included miracles. Abruptly, Ari finds herself tangled in a web of lies, questioning everything she’s ever known as truth. Never had she believed she’d be thrown headfirst into a world of good and evil, magic and Gods.
Trapped in the middle of a war she had never known existed both parties demanded her allegiance. Ari was a catalyst that could change all the rules of the Earth. But when the time comes to make a choice will she be strong enough to know right from wrong?
Of Sparta
Of Legacies #2
By- Victoria Escobar
Genre- YA Fantasy
She was the strongest of Gaea’s Servants. Miera had been trained from childhood to be Faithful always to the Goddess. She had been taught with Faith they would always be protected. She had never wavered from that course. She hadn’t counted on the consequences of that choice.
As Ariadne’s birthday draws closer darkness closes in on Sparta. Monsters, both Tainted and Pure alike, were vying for pieces of their island. Doubt and fear grew like pestilence. Death was unavoidable.
Sparta sat on the brink, but of what Miera wasn’t certain. There was no record, no precedence for her to consult. There were no living patrons of the Goddess to seek council from. She only had instinct and Faith. If she could not maintain the balance Sparta would fall before Gaea’s return.
How did the lost lead the people out of darkness?
Excerpt of Gaea
“I don’t like being in this chair.” Ari twirled an arrow around her fingers nervously. There was no reason for the nerves. She was as close to Kleisthenes as she was to Sasha and Nasya. They had always been there when she needed someone. “I feel crippled. I can’t use my recurve; I have to use this compound, and it feels off.”
“The recurve isn’t going anywhere. We keep it clean and ready for you.” He gave her a critical stare. “And you’re not crippled, you’re hurt. You’ll find a way to get better. I’ve never met anyone as stubborn as you so you’re bound to find a way.”
“I really don’t know what to do anymore.” Ari slowly strung another arrow. “There’s nothing left to try.”
“Sure there is.” Kleisthenes laughed as the bow twanged. “You’re telling me you’ve talked to every kind of healer there is on this earth? I doubt it. The problem is you need to find the right one. When you do; you’ll have what you want.”
“All the doctors say nearly the same thing.” The complaint rented the air even as another arrow struck the target. “I’m tired of the false hope.”
“I didn’t say doctor, did I?” Kleisthenes leaned against the railing and studied the target. “I said healer. There’s a big difference between the two. Or at least in my book there is.”
“What’s the difference?” She sighted another arrow and let it fly.
“Look it up online. You’ll see the difference.”
