GOLD MEDAL WINNER - 2016 AUTHORSdb.com Book Cover Contest! "FIVE STARS!" by Ellie and AJSW "LOVED THE JOURNAL FORMAT! HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS SERIES!" by DJS The first short story in the Occuli series is here! A golden-eyed, or "Aureus", has one sole purpose in life: to protect. Raised from children to be bodyguards, these Occuli are both the fastest and strongest and are commonly used as fierce weapons. Frequently they are not what they seem however, as they can be tempted by too much power and control over those they protect. This can lead them down a dark and dangerous path. This supplement to Book One gives the reader a more intimate look at the character of Zias. In this story the reader is taken through Zias' personal journal, giving his perspective on the journey so far with Remy and the other Occuli. He tells the story through his eyes about his struggle to remember his past and break from traditions and curses, while putting it all on the line for the love of his life, Remy Verbetta.(Recommended for ages 16+)
