Description

Anita has never been ordinary, she’s stuck out like a sore thumb her entire life; not only can she see the energy of others, a rare skill, but she’s won every Body challenge she’s ever entered. So when the powerful, good looking Descendants, Marcus and Alexander, mysteriously arrive in Empire, her difference attracts and keeps their attention.

Once in Empire, the sudden death of ruling Body Descendant, Christiana, sets in motion a number of events; a quest for the treacherous Austin to find the girl Christiana had been looking for; a challenge where Anita stands out more vibrantly than ever before; a perilous dip in the world’s energy; and a dangerous belief among the people that they will never truly be free. Powerful factions soon form within the ruling elite and when a trusted friend and mentor reaches out to ask for Anita’s help, she has to make a choice; help her friend and betray the one she loves, or do nothing and watch the people starve.

Advance Praise

"Is HR Moore the new JK Rowling?" (The Resident Magazine)

'Finally a book that bridges the gap between the romance of Twilight and the action of the Hunger Games!'

'Fast paced and a real page turner, with the right mix of action and a touch of romance...'

'Drama, excitement, vivid scene settings with plot twists...This story has it all!'

'Fantastic characters and an all consuming story.'

"In Legacy of the Mind by H R Moore we are presented with a sweeping adventure story with heart, a compelling narrative that works through action to provide key insights that fuel the characters but which also help us to come to terms with some larger themes and ideas as well. Overall, the writing is descriptive and careful, layered with cunning and political intrigue as well. It’s not hard to see the connections to today’s society and structures lurking underneath the different factions of Empire. The chapters are nicely paced, with enough meat to make them satisfying but not so ponderous as to make it difficult to keep track of the narrative as it develops...The title seems to this reader to be interesting, and to give some of a sense of the inspirational underpinnings to the novel itself. The overall design of the book is beautiful...The cover image for the book is stark and memorable, and the overall concept for the cover is dignified and evocative."
