Epilogue 3 /Author’s Note
Excerpt from The Ivory Queen:
…The Soul of Insanity is said to give its wielder the ability to control an army of Moon Goddess‘ creationsand make them unable to lose a battle… But with great power comes a curse…
“Forged by blood and Fed by souls, The Moon and sun awake its thirst. First innocence must bleed. Withthe Ivory it controls All of the beings on this Earth. But be weary of its greed For those who wield it, shallbe cursed.”
*end of excerpt*
***Chaos***
I twirl the tiny trinket in my hand, admiring my sister‘s work until I arrive at my uncle‘s dwelling. His homealways brings me joy. Weapons of war and destruction line the walls and the thought of all the chaoseach toy could create makes my heart skip a beat.
My uncle, the God of War, is not a pleasant man, but it‘s always fun to make him mad. All it takes is alittle teasing, and the man erupts with anger. I should visit him more often.
Disguising myself as one of his guards, I sneak my way through War‘s security, making sure to rearrangesome of his traps on my way in just for a laugh.
I reach a room with a large stone table in the center, a map of the world carved into the surface. Tinypieces resembling weapons lay scattered across the graph and the print itself seems to be alive, pieces
moving on their own and the landscapes shifting. War God himself stands over the map, gazing proudlyat the destruction he‘s creating.
“Are the fires of hell not entertaining enough for you?” War snarls without looking up at me. “My dearestUncle,” I smile pleasantly.
“Whatever it is you want, find it elsewhere. I‘m busy,” he snaps, moving his hand over Russia to move apiece.
“Uncle, please;” I scoff. “I‘m not here to ask for anything.” “Don‘t play games with me,” War growls, finallyturning to face me. “I‘m not one of your pawns.”
“Of course not, Uncle,” I reply with an innocent smile. “I just came with an early birthday gift. You seeUncle, I think it‘s a shame your sword was buried by one of Moon Goddess‘creations, the Ivory wolves.The Sword of Insanity was truly a work of art and I think it‘s awful my sister and her pets intervened in itspurpose. I simply had an idea to help you get revenge. but alas. if you do not want to know the power of
this tiny trinket, I can return it to the same wolf who took your sword.”
He glares at me, trying to decipher my game, but the old man has never been able to see past my tricks.
“What is it?” He asks with mild curiosity. I do my best to hide the triumphant smirk on my lips and explain.
“Why, this little medallion is a bridge to the realm of the Moon. It will help the Ivory Wolves commandtheir army and connect them to their Keeper and Moon Goddess. It took quite a bit of work to get it, but Iguess I‘ll return it to its rightful owner,” I sigh heavily as I turn my back to him.
“Wait!” Bingo… I smirk “Yes, Uncle?” I ask innocently, turning back to face him. “What is it you want?” theold God asks, an untrusting air to his voice.
“Everyone always seems to think I have an ulterior motive,” I sigh. “But in truth, I am a neutral agent andI don‘t pick sides. I simply like to have a good laugh.”
“Hell of a joke,” War mutters.
“I have a dark sense of humor,” I reply bluntly, holding out the medallion. “Now, do you want the trinket…or will you let my sister have the last laugh?”
The God of War snatches the medallion from my hand and holds it up to the light to inspect it. “We‘ll seewho‘s laughing now,” he snarls, giddy excitement rushing through me. We‘ll see… ***TO BECONTINUED IN THE IVORY THRONE***

My Big Announcement !!
Dreame has started its publishing program this year and I am very pleased to inform you that The SilentAlpha was selected for print hopefully this year. I have already sent the manuscript to the publishingteam and it will soon be available for purchase on Am@zon. Due to its length, TSA will be split into twobooks. The First will contain chapters 1–47 and the Second will contain chapters 48–93. It‘s not my ideal
choice to split the book but at least you‘ll get to hold the story in your hands.
This month of October, I will be holding two giveaways, one for The Ivory Queen (Sept 30–Oct 13), andone for The Silent Alpha (Oct 20–Oct 31) where I will be giving away signed copies of both books!
