Book excerpt: Contemporary Mythic Fantasy. New Adult Fiction. Gods, monsters, angels, devils. Call them what you like. They exist. The epic battles between titans, giants, and gods, heaven and hell, the forces of light and darkness. They happened. And the war isn't over. 17 year old Fi Patterson lives with her stuffy English uncle and has an internship at a local hospital for the aged. She doesn't know what she wants to do with her life, misses her dead mother, wonders about the father she never knew. One bright spot is caring for Peter, a dimentia-ridden old man whose occasional faraway smile can make her whole day. And there's her conflicted attraction to Zeke - awkward, brilliant, talented - who plays guitar for the old folks. Then a group of very strange and frightening men show up for a "visit"... Fi and Zeke's worlds are shattered as their typical everyday concerns are suddenly replaced by the immediate need to stay alive - and they try to come to grips with the unimaginable reality of the firstborn. What readers are saying: "Keep an open mind, and forget everything you know..." "What if the myths were real? Which is like Percy Jackson, but this takes it a whole lot further. Think your favorite Teen and YA adventures, but for grownups. I loved it!" "A deep and believable world with extremely compelling characters. Funny, snarky and exciting. A really fun read." "Bold epic fantasy that takes myths, science, and legends, and creates an original cosmology that spills into the present day with action and surprises left and right. Fantastic." "Excellent storytelling. Inventive and captivating. Ashton pulls you in and takes you on a wild ride." Dyrk Ashton has been a filmmaker, actor, climber, spelunker, world traveler and nutcase. Today he's a professor, writer, and still a nutcase. He loves the beach but lives in NW Ohio. Go figure. www.paternusbooks.com. Twitter and Instagram Instagram: @undyrk. Cover Art: Lin Hsiang.
