Apocalyptic Kingdom by M.J. Kelley II

About Featured Book: Apocalyptic Kingdom by M.J. Kelley II

As the Great Tribulation draws near, Zonera reckons with her new-found faith and embarks on a journey of self-discovery, survival, and redemption.

Will she muster enough hope to succeed?

Zonera, a twenty-one-year-old Pakistani woman, sits in a sterile fertility clinic and dreads the events that will happen next.

She’s seven months pregnant, wrestling with school, wife duties, and the anxiety of her baby’s gender.

If it’s a boy, not only will her harsh and forbidding husband, Akeem, be pleased, but she might also be able to breathe a little lighter.

There is no place for a little girl in the cruel world she lives in. The way she’s been treated by Akeem and everyone else around her weighs heavy on her heart.

It has to be a boy, she allows herself to hope amid the buzzing in her mind thanks to the mysterious man in the waiting room with her.

What she doesn’t realize is that this man, with his wrinkled eyes and benevolent reassurances, will signal what’s to come… for her and for the rest of mankind.

Confused, she tries to make sense of the man’s presence with her OBGYN, Dr. Liu — a kind and gentle Christian woman who, ironically, found safety in a Muslim community.

Now curious, Zonera opens up to Dr. Liu about her worries and the latter returns the favor by sharing her faith. For some reason, Zonera gets a strange sense of hope for better things to come.

But, her reverie is cut short as a series of bewildering events starts taking place. Now, Zonera is forced to reckon with what’s happening in front of her and tries to make sense of it all.

Is this the beginning of the end?

LEAP by OC Heaton

LEAP by OC Heaton

One small step could ruin mankind’s greatest leap…

Ethan Rae is known for his billions, but his latest business venture is about to really put him on the map: a quantum teleportation system that would solve global warming for good. Known as LEAP, the system is capable of providing Earth’s ultimate second chance…until it falls into the wrong hands.

When playboy CEO Samuel Reynolds III snatches LEAP out from under Ethan’s nose, he adds insult to injury by attempting to destroy Ethan’s business partner, Uma Jakobsdóttir. But this is no malicious whim. As the daughter of its creator, Uma enforces the LEAP Laws.

Because of its potentially devastating capabilities, LEAP users must not clone people, revive the dead, or merge minds and species. But in the race to recover their precious piece of tech, Ethan and Uma are faced with sacrifices that push their resolve to breaking point.

From the frozen wastelands of Iceland, to the leafy suburbs of London and the mean streets of New York City, LEAP is a technothriller that will keep you questioning what it means to be human.

Three Kinds of North by Jon Sparks

Jerya, an orphan girl, grows toward adulthood in the remote village of Delven. Housed in caves, the village lies below great mountains, beyond which, folklore tells, lie the deadly Blistered Lands.

Unexpectedly despatched to join the Guild of Dawnsingers, Jerya immerses herself eagerly in new knowledge and new ideas. She discovers mathematics and astronomy and much more, and finds tantalising hints about the ending of the Age Before and the origins of the Guild. She finds new depths in herself too, along with her first real taste of love.
However, Jerya learns things which lead her to question the true purpose of the Guild and the basis on which its authority rests. Before long she finds herself facing an appalling and irrevocable choice. Will she accept the rationale for the Guild’s existence, and its power, in order to continue her exhilarating journey of intellectual discovery?

And what really lies beyond the mountains in the East?
Orphan Jerya unexpectedly finds a home in the Dawnsingers’ Guild, but her new life turns sour.
