As a child in the desert kingdom of Gryth, Ivory witnessed the brutal murder of her parents at the hands of a sinister race known as the Lecs.
Now Queen of her people, a vengeance-fueled Ivory launches a
final battle to annihilate the enemy once and for all. But on the eve of war,
betrayed by her own kind and left in the hands of the Lecs, she's forced to
learn the shocking truth about their two peoples, and the diabolical curse
that's plagued them for centuries.
Armed with newfound knowledge and unexpected allies, Ivory
must face the real enemy that's haunted her all her life, and make a choice
that will mean the difference between a new beginning and the end of the world.
Ivory is an exercise in duality made reality; an exploration
of darkness and light, male and female, sun and moon… seen through the eyes of
two cultures ripped apart by an ancient evil whose pain resonates through the
ages like the beating of a drum.

Excerpt:
“And the lives you’ve taken Ivory, your calloused
hands dipped in their blood? After all that you’ve done, you feel nothing?” It
jerks its loathsome face toward the solitary candle. Eyes leer at her from the
darkness. Bright, quick eyes. They’re not red or soulless. They’re blue like a
clear lake that you can see to the bottom of. Blue with flecks of brown like
islands in that lake.
She blinks in confusion. His face is beautiful. His skin is
pale, his hair long and white like the petals of the Caldra. Her jaw drops. “Am
I... have I reached the gods?”
He laughs. The movement makes the flame dance. She looks
down, spiteful. He’s toying with her. Why wouldn’t Taheel be beautiful? "

Author Information:
Aren't author's bios boring? I always wanted to read one
that went something like this:
F.M. Sherrill: recent citizen of earth. Plans on ruling the
planet once she gets over the common cold. Or, F.M. Sherrill: time traveler.
Decided to alter the space-time continuum by writing a novel, thus changing
history slightly, which will eventually lead to the rise of a new human
species.
But here it is. F.M. Sherrill is a novelist, A.K.A. an avid
bullshitter; that's why she lives in L.A.. She's been writing for as long as
her ancient mind can remember, devouring tales like an anemic vampire roaming
the streets in hot pink heels, always thirsty for more. When she's not writing,
she's making steampunk weapons, sewing giant plant-eater Mario plushes, making
costumes for some film bloke or cosplayer, and sculpting/casting movie prop
replicas while gardening in her urban apartment. Her favorite tools? A
soldering iron, a blowtorch, a band saw, a sonic screwdriver, a replicator and
an active imagination.
