The Orphans of New Lur – Blake Vanier 


 

Iona and Nero are Human orphans; one born with powers she can’t explain, the other bound to a terrifying friend no one else can see, both hunted by a woman that does not fail.

When a ragtag bunch of five orphans stumble upon glowing canisters containing ethereal weapons designed to fuse with a Human’s soul, they unwittingly risk life and sanity by opening them.

One canister is overlooked as it appears empty, but a lack of light in their world does not correlate to a lack of power in the other. Nero opens it to find an otherworldly being that cannot survive unless it finds a host; a being that must decide to either kill Nero or accept his offering…

Confused and exhilarated, the empowered orphans must adapt to their new abilities to keep each other alive, as Isis, a woman of incomparable will, is determined to pursue these Humans in search of secrets to an ancient civilization.

The Anterra Collection is perfect for fans of Mistborn, looking for a fresh, new epic fantasy series.

Biography: Growing up, I loved stories. In high school, a friend named Frankie inspired me to take it to the next level by creating one of my own. In 2008, taking the train back from an internship at Lockheed-Martin, I got the idea that was the seed for my Anterra series. I finished my Masters in Aerospace Engineering with the series outlined and the first few chapters complete. When I finally thought it was done, I reworked a lot of it. Then, with some constructive criticism, I rewrote almost the entire thing... I did that at least one or two more times... It was painful. Thankfully, I have finally forged this into something that I'm truly proud of. It's time to share it with the world. When I'm not working on this series, I'm either working on software that processes satellite data for solar and atmospheric science; working in the shop making items with a CNC milling center; or studying Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and pro wrestling.
