Description

Before trust and love can take hold, grow solid roots, and blossom into a reality larger than self, fear must be conquered and faith embraced. Yet fear of an ancient prophecy, of burning magical power, and a broken heart, Sanura Williams, psychology professor, is unprepared when Special Agent Assefa Berber enters her life, hunting a preternatural serial killer. Assefa's intelligent, chocolate eyes and intoxicating aura signature stirs her fire spirit but frightens the woman.

In a world where all is not as it seems, Sanura and Assefa must battle the gods' first creations - vile predators who threaten the safety of humans. Each confrontation, each bloody clash, will bring Sanura and Assefa closer to fulfilling the prophecy of being the Fire Witch and Cat of Legend - the ones who will save humanity from the Water Witch of Legend. Death, godly magic, and physical attraction draw Sanura and Assefa to each other, but fear and faith will determine their destiny.

Before trust and love can take hold, grow solid roots, and blossom into a reality larger than self, fear must be conquered and faith embraced. Yet fear of an ancient prophecy, of burning magical...

I very much enjoyed Of Fear and Faith. Author N.D. Jones has done a great job at creating character that her readers will connect with quickly and will care about. Her story line has an instant hook and will keep readers obsessively reading from the start to the finish, unable to put the book down. In fact, the best piece of advice I have for readers, besides being sure to read Of Faith and Fear, is to set aside time to read the whole thing at once; you simply will not want to put it down. I am pleased to recommend this book, and will be eagerly waiting for author N.D. Jones' next book! --Reviewed by Tracy Slowiak for Readers' Favorite

A hugely entertaining read, when it comes to originality it doesn't get any better than Of Fear and Faith, the first release in the Death and Destiny Trilogy series from N D Jones. A dark supernatural fantasy, Jones has looked to myth and legend for her inspiration to deliver a high octane read that confidently eschews well-worn clichés. Quickly building tension and suspense she plays with our apprehensions, maintaining focus and intensity whilst wisely avoiding easy shock tactics. In another author's hand, it could have been a mawkish blend of two kinds of thrillers, police and supernatural, but the result is an intelligent narrative which retains a sense of combustibility throughout. Needless to say, the sparks fly between Sanura and Assefa as their relationship develops with Jones finding and holding a tantalizingly erotic tone for their encounters. They certainly make for original and compelling protagonists, but more importantly they have the luminosity to kick-start an exciting new series. With an intriguing and competently executed plot, Of Fear and Faith is a hugely entertaining read that bodes well for future releases in the Death and Destiny Trilogy series. Sure to win N D Jones a host of enthusiastic new followers it is highly recommended! --Reviewed by Book Viral
