BOOK OF THE DAY: One Insular Tahiti by Thea Atkinson


by Thea Atkinson




BOOK DESCRIPTION
"My death in '59 came the way I always feared it would: in the claustrophobic underground heat of a Cape Breton coal mine."

So begins Luke MacIsaac's tale of restless afterlife. His death is nowhere near what he thought it would be; instead of peace, he finds an unending roll on a sea of memory that stores his entire violent past. Images of war, childhood abuse, and the tortured life of a brother he loved and failed threaten to inundate him. 

One possible salvation presents itself: Astrid. This newborn, who will in her own turn live through tragedies that threaten her soul's well being, becomes his vehicle for rebirth.  

What Luke doesn't realize, and what Astrid cannot know, is that their souls are linked through a past too painful to remember. For Luke to live again, he must experience all the anguish they went through together. And for Astrid to find peace, she must find unconditional love. 

From tragedy and loss, ONE INSULAR TAHITI demonstrates that sometimes the greatest light can come from the deepest darkness.

Available for JUST 99 CENTS on Amazon is Water Witch (Book 1 of the Elemental Magic Series) by Thea Atkinson  (Click here for UK purchase).  Why not download this before it goes back to full price?





BOOK DESCRIPTION
ALAYSHA is a witch who has more power than she can control and her father uses that gift to decimate his enemies. Over her seventeen years, her power has enabled him to become the Emir of a large land, where even as the conqueror's daughter, she suffers the prejudice and fear of those around her. When she is asked to annihilate an entire peaceful village, she doesn't realize it is the last of her own mother's tribe, and only discovers too late that the battle she has won for her father may cost her the only connection she has to her past, and with it the secrets to managing her gift. 

She needs to find the one person who managed to escape her power, the charismatic Yenic, a youth who seems to know more than he wants to tell and who has become the target of her father's next campaign. With orders to kill, she sets out on a mission of her own very much in contrast to the one her father wishes her to fulfill. The trouble is, there is someone else out there who would use the water witch for his own gain, and unless she can find a way to consolidate who is the real enemy from supposed ones, her entire homeland of Sarum, the only three people she loves, and countless other innocent people will die.

FREE BOOK FIND: One Insular Tahiti by Thea Atkinson

TODAY over on Amazon, the Kindle edition of One Insular Tahiti by Thea Atkinson is FREE for download.  Great weekend reading at a fabulous price!



BOOK DESCRIPTION
Luke MacIsaac is dead, and not restfully dead. His death has come the way he always feared it would: in the claustrophobic, underground heat of a Cape Breton coal mine. He had suspected it would end this way, had embraced it even, so while his body is buried, his soul settles into a watery existence of endless waiting.

But in short order the placid waters of his afterlife turn to rolling seas of time and memory as his violent past plays out again for him. Images of war, childhood abuse, and the tortured life of a brother he loved and failed threaten to inundate him. 

More than anything, he wants to escape.

In his confusion and pain, he senses a kindred spirit in Astrid, a newborn struggling to stay alive. Luke helps her in hopes she may one day be the one who brings him out of his purgatory and into a new incarnation. 

He discovers too late that Astrid's soul is linked to his hellish past life. Now he must experience all the anguish they went through together, and watch helplessly as Astrid goes through sorrows of her own, before the two of them can finally meet in this world and find peace together.
