I’ve been called Hero, Protector, even an Angel. But to act in this
manner, there must be an act of brutal savagery. Sorrow, terror, pain is the
Hero’s experience. To be a Hero means to live in a nightmare.
My name is Emma, and this is my life now. I remember tales about heroes as
a kid; full of excitement and fantasy endings. But those are just stories.
When I got my powers they seemed exciting and fun; but then reality hit.
Cosmic war, invading alien fleets, and the Stone Keepers; these are my
reality. Those, and other atrocities caused by our own species, overshadow
the hero’s path. Atrocities I’m compelled to act upon, which
leave everlasting scars – others can’t see. Myself, my partner, and my
new friends, are the latest chosen as Gem Keepers. All of the Gem Keepers
before us have fallen to a powerful evil. Now, Earth is thrust into a
timeless war, against an unimaginable enemy. We must somehow unite our
world, or it will all be lost. The ones I love, those who bring me a sense
of happiness, will perish. I refuse to let this happen.
So call me a Hero, call me whatever you want. Just understand this was an
Imposed Path, and it’s just the beginning.
The Imposed Path is the first book in the Gem Keepers Saga. It follows Emma
through her eyes, as she and her new friends are forced into a cosmic war.
Powerful enemies, invading alien fleets, and the dark side of human nature;
is what she must face. Emma’s new found love, and friendships; will be her
strongest tools in overcoming these challenges. This series will dive into
the dark aftermath of Emma’s many experiences – the physical and
emotional impact of being a hero. Pain, sorrow, and terror fill this
journey; will love and friendship be enough. How much can a hero endure?
Will she be able to keep her promise to the one she loves, and Never Let
Go.
Excerpt
“Never let go, like what your painting said. I promise to never let
go, no matter what happens.”
She leaned in and kissed me gently. “Never let go,” she
whispered.
We didn’t know why these gems came to us. Maybe there was a reason,
or it was just pure randomness. Saving those people in the mall; then the
little girl and infant; this was our calling. The gems, these powers; we
have them and will use them to help people however we can. As long as we
were together, I felt like I could do anything.
As I held her, I thought of everything she meant to me. The love and
friendship I found with her. We made a promise to each other, and I would –
Never Let Go.
