Title: BREAKSHIELD
Author: J.B. Rockwell
Release Date: March 27, 2014
Found
at the intersection of life and the afterlife, the Between is a place
where science and reason are replaced by magic and violence. It is a
place where Typhon and his Hunstman of the Dark Waste spread like a
plague and where Talents go to die.
The
only thing standing in Typhon’s way is Morgan Quendalen and the people
of the Shining Lands. They are sworn to protect the last remaining
Talents, a precious few who teeter at the edge of extinction. Morgan
valiantly fights, protecting these last remnants of magic in a war he's
not sure he can actually win.
When
Jamie Aster, a mortal Talent with undiscovered powers, is put under his
charge, Morgan weighs his oath against a desire to save the Shining
Lands. Could he kill a Talent if it meant saving his people?
J.B.
Rockwell grew up reading fairy tales, folklore and mythology, as well
as anything everything about ancient cultures and their history, and
never lost her taste for any of it. Unsurprisingly, her college studies
focused on anthropology with an emphasis on investigating mythical
events and trying to tie them back to historical fact. Unfortunately,
there are not a lot of jobs (much less money) in anthropology so after
several years of low-paying, unsatisfying jobs, she went back to school
and earned a very practical (and very boring MBA). Somehow that MBA
landed her a job in IT and for the past twelve years she has been
managing software systems and information technology development
projects for the US Coast Guard, a job which is neither boring nor
unrewarding. She continues to write in her spare time and has several
short stories that have been picked up for publication. Born and raised
in Connecticut, J.B. Rockwell currently lives in West Virginia with her
husband and two cats, all of whom provide inspiration for her stories,
whether they know it or not.
