Synopsis:
From fantasy writer Lara Morgan comes the second in
her engrossing, enchanting, exciting Twins of Saranthium trilogy, perfect for
curbing Game of Thrones withdrawals.
Shaan and Tallis have escaped from the fallen god,
Azoth, but his dark shadow stretches over the enslaved the people of the Wild
Lands and the terrifying army of human‐serpent
warriors. War is coming, but the Council of Nine turn from the twins and their
tales of Azoth's menace, focusing instead on a war on the Free Lands.
Meanwhile, the Four Lost Gods have awoken, ready to
reclaim the Birthstone currently in Azoth's possession. But rather than the
saviours Shaan and Tallis needed, the Four begin to exert terrible control over
the people of Saranthium. With Tallis struggling to control the might power
within, and Shaan attempting to resist the pull of Azoth, the twins are under
assault from all sides. Victory may still be possible, but only through a devastating
act of betrayal.
This or That with
Lara:
Fiction or
Non-Fiction? – mostly fiction, though I do love researching especially
ancient history and I have a weakness for travel memoirs.
Tea or Coffee? –
tea, tea, tea. I have a kingdom’s worth of tea. I do like a coffee,
just not as much.
Physical Books or
E-books? Love the tangible physical book. I’m one of those people who
goes around sniffing new books in stores; I adore the smell of the fresh
ink, it reminds me of childhood. I don’t own an e-reader yet but
will most likely get one soon, there are so many great books that are only
available now in ebook and reading them as a pdf is too hard on my ageing eyes!
Writing in the Morning
or in the Afternoon/Evening? - Mid mornings has traditionally
been my best time, it’s when my brain fires the best. However that’s had to
change since I now work around a toddler so it’s basically whenever I get a
chance and that’s often in the sleepy 2pm slot. It takes a lot of
tea.
Dinner or
Dessert? Dessert, dessert! Fruit pies, gooey cakes, wobbly cremes. I
have a terrible sweet tooth. Give me pie and I’m yours. Lemon tart
preferably thanks.
Comedies or
Dramas? Comedy. The world can be a harsh place and you can never laugh
too much.
Pen or Pencil? Pen,
my pencils always have broken leads or the toddler has absconded with them. My
bag has an army of pens waiting to be used.
Sleeping In or Waking
Early? Always loved the mornings, the freshness of the air, the
birdsong, the tea….and when travelling it’s the best time to be up and about in
a city or town before the hordes have their coffee. Also I now have no choice.
The Past or the
Future? Hard one. Both. I love ancient history with a passion,
especially the Mediterranean area, hence the fantasy books; but am equally
fascinated by what the future could hold, hence the sci fi books . Terminally
curious I guess like most authors.
Being Outdoors or
Indoors? - depends on the weather. Outdoors in winter, indoors in
summer –this may seem contrary to logic, but I do live in the wild coastal west
of Australia where summer is often 40 celsius and can sizzle you in an instant.
Dusk or
Dawn? Dusk, preferably with a wine or glass of bubbly and a
dusting of salt on my skin from a swim watching the sun set over the sea
Chocolate or
Vanilla? Argh! Why do I have to choose, why, why? I refuse.
The Beginning of a
Story or The End? The end, and make it bittersweet. It’s
especially lovely when it’s one of my own books and I can sigh with relief that
I’ve
About
the author:
Lara Morgan has loved fantasy since her mother first
read her The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings (those Dark Riders still give her
the shivers) and her book shelves are stacked precariously with more
fantastical adventures than she will probably be able to read in one lifetime.
She loves feisty heroines and heroes with depth and prefers to create villains
in shades of grey rather than black and white, taking a tip from one of her
personal heroes Joss Whedon who said: “All villains believe they are the hero
of the story”.
Lara also writes for young adults and you can find
her online at www.lara‐morgan.com
or blogging when she has time at www.laramorgan.wordpress.com and on twitter
@Lara_Morgan.
She lives in Geraldton, Western Australia, with her
husband and son.

First and foremost, I'm a wife to an amazing man, and mother to a 2 year old little boy. I love to read when I can find the time, my Kindle is my best friend. I've read tons and tons of books. One of my favorite authors is Diana Gabaldon, her Outlander series is absolutely amazing. I also really enjoy Charlaine Harris' True Blood series. I'll read anything supernatural, I've blown through most of the good YA series' that are out there. I think my love of reading really helped me branch out into writing.
