Blurb:

How far would you go to destroy yourself?

Krishani always knew he would have to go to the Lands of Men, but he never thought it would be like this. Enemies everywhere, an ancestor he can't respect, elders he can't trust, a curse he can't stop and friends he can't help but hate. Desperate to end the pain, he sets out on a quest to find the other Flames and face the enemy that took everything from him.

Excerpt:

"That's no battle scar," he said. He sized up the boy, focusing on his hand. "You're turning. This is because of your calling."

Krishani regretted returning to the castle. Not more talk of Ferrymen. He wrenched his hand out of Mallorn's grip. "I don't want to be the Ferryman."

Mallorn scoffed. "You can deny it all you want, but you cannot escape it."

Krishani went down the hallway. He knew Mallorn would follow him, but he needed air or relief, something to help clear his head. "I'm nothing."

Mallorn grabbed his forearm and pulled up his sleeve to show him the black marks. "You have no choice. This will spread until you are no more."

Krishani half-smiled. Mallorn meant it as a deterrent, but it made Krishani happy to know there was a way out. After all he had been through there was a way to die.

"The end of me," he breathed.

Mallorn whacked him across the back of the head. "Stop it. The Ferrymen are important."

Krishani let his head throb. He didn't raise his hand to rub the spot Mallorn struck. From the dream he knew just how important the Ferrymen were. People died by the thousands in the Lands of Men and no one protected them. He stopped at the sixteenth corridor. "I have nothing to live for."

Mallorn's forehead creased in tight wrinkles. "Death. You must live for that."

Krishani wanted to smack him for his answer. Instead, he balled up his fist and descended the stairway, heading towards the kitchen. "Hernadette!" he called. There had to be another answer, a cure for his condition or something to alleviate the aching he felt throughout his body. He passed the archway and paused at the mouth of the kitchen. A plump woman in soiled linens appeared in the doorframe.

"You're well!" she exclaimed.

Krishani shook his head. "Alive."

"Which is well. Do you need something?"

He extended his hand. "I need a cure for this."

Hernadette covered her mouth with her fingertips. "That is a plague."

Krishani pulled his robe over his hand and shrank away from the kitchen. When he turned around, Mallorn stood in the hallway, staring at him. The Kiirar had a soiled gray robe underneath his cloak, a cord tied around his waist.

"Come to Nandaro with me," Mallorn said.

"Avristar will sentence me to death."

"You should leave before that happens."

Krishani's face twisted into disbelief. "She loathes me that much?"

"It is the price one pays for that crime."

It was like knives stabbing his insides as the land he called home turned against him. "Does she blame me for the existence of the foe, too? Does she blame me for Kaliel's death?" He sunk to the floor and covered his face with his arms.

"Nandaro was the last place she called home," Mallorn said gently.

Krishani couldn't stay. He couldn't face Avristar's wrath. Defeated, he glanced at Mallorn and nodded reluctantly.

"Aye," he whispered. "I will go to Nandaro."



Author Interview:

What inspired you to write JUSTICE?

Originally, JUSTICE didn't exist. I was going to write SURRENDER, VULTURE and MERCY, but then I realized there was a gaping hole between SURRENDER and VULTURE, that Krishani had a lot to do, I couldn't just plunk him into VULTURE and expect him to pick up where he left off. So JUSTICE began to form in my mind and from there it became the second book in The Ferryman & The Flame Series.

When or at what age did you know you wanted to be a writer?

I was kicked out of English class in grade 6 for being too smart. They did aptitude tests and I scored too high so I was sent to the library with five other kids to do creative writing. I wrote a story about three sisters that had a very original title, I called it: The Three Sisters.

What is the earliest age you remember reading your first book?

I was six years old, and it had something to do with a dog.

What genre of books do you enjoy reading?

I read a bit of everything, so I guess it's more apt of me to say what I don't like reading, and I'm really glad I don't have to read non fiction. Those books always took three times as long as any fictional book I've picked up.

What is your favorite book?

Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater

You know I think we all have a favorite author. Who is your favorite author and why?

I have so many because of how long I've been reading. Cassandra Clare, Marion Zimmer Bradley, Maggie Stiefvater, and Katie McGarry, off the top of my head.

If you could travel back in time here on earth to any place or time. Where would you go

I'd like to stay right where I am . . .

and why?

So I have a PhD in Metaphysical Science and Parapsychology. I'm a natural born psychic. I don't think it really matters where or when I go in Earth's territory, I would have been burned at the stake by this time in my life, sooo I'll stay right here thanks.

When writing a book do you find that writing comes easy for you or is it a difficult task?

It depends on the book. Sometimes it's really easy and then sometimes I have to stop, write more notes, or visualize it more, and then go back to it.

Do you have any little fuzzy friends? Like a dog or a cat? Or any pets?

I have a puppy named Zeus who weighs about five pounds and is a very cute black and white Chihuahua.

What is your "to die for", favorite food/foods to eat?

Poutine!

Do you have any advice for anyone that would like to be an author?

Get your butt in the chair and write. Your first draft doesn't have to be good, you can make it better, just get it done. Don't be afraid to speak up! This community is huge, and it's very loving and accepting. You always have a friend right around the corner you just have to be brave enough to say what's on your mind! Come find me on facebook and feel free to chat at me anytime about anything! <3 you all, keep rocking it!
