Powers of Light: Book 1

Kathleen O'Neal Gear

After endless unsuccessful attempts to integrate Gammant civilization into the rest of society, the Galactic Magistrates have chosen to exterminate them once and for all. Fighting a desperate battle to save his people, Jeremiel Baruch is facing defeat at the hands of his nemesis, Captain Cole Tahn. The Gamants, however, believe themselves the chosen of God and refuse to submit. In the final days, a messiah calling himself Adom has appeared. But is he the true messiah, or the unwitting tool of the strange being of fire known as Aktariel? In the end, it is up to young Rachel Eloel, a grieving widow, to find out. Steeped in the ancient mystical ways, will Rachel's quest bring salvation, or the abyss?

In a desperate gamble, Jeremiel Baruch has captured Cole Tahn and his warship Hoyer. As the two engage in a battle of wits, Jeremiel plays a deadly game of deception in an attempt to rescue Gamants from a Magisterial extermination camp. And once there, Cole Tahn will never be the same again. Meanwhile, Rachel faces her own dilemma as Aktariel tempts her with visions of the past. But is he a force for good or evil? If she makes a mistake, her daughter's life will be forfeit. As the Galactic Magistrates close their net, Cole Tahn's second in command, Carey, must choose between her honor and oath to the Magistrates, and her growing attraction to Jeremiel Baruch. Prophecy, however, is coming true. But who is the promised Messiah, and will the Gamants find him before the Magistrates murder them all?
