Book Tour + Review + #Giveaway: The Calling (The Calling Chronicles Book 1) by E.M. Aguilar @emaguilar283 @SDSXXTours

 




The Calling
The Calling Chronicles Book 1
by E.M. Aguilar
Genre: Post Apocalyptic Fantasy

We live in a world without magic. However, what if magic is real and as natural as the air we breathe and tangible as the trees swaying in the wind? And we bottle and encase this magic in large underground chambers. Until, the arcane powers explode in a cataclysmic, world-shattering chain reaction.

Lazarus saw his life change before him on a normal workday. A hundred-foot wave destroys everything around him. A group of survivors rises up from this rubble, trying to survive the next day. People morph and change into fantastical creatures and magic has become commonplace.

Caught between miles of hostile territory filled with deadly monsters called Grogs, Lazarus and his group of friends needs to find the ancient temples to stop the next phase of the changing of the earth.

Don't miss The Calling, the first in The Calling Chronicles series by E.M. Aguilar. If you like Stephen King's, The Stand, and Justin Cronin's, The Passage and Robert McCammon's, Swan Song, then this story will have you thrilled, horrified and excited. Come check it out!







"The world ended within the slightest, smallest vibration as if the world was held by a silk web and a powerful force broke the glue and string which held everything together." Lazarus didn't realize he was speaking aloud these words. It came forth out of him in a rush. Luckily, he was in his car eating his sandwich. The voice was coming from inside his head making him see and say things. 


Hello, dear reader, come with me into a world which is like ours, but is different. A place that if you would come here, you would proclaim that it is exactly how you remember your dreams - the half forgotten truths and ideas floating in our brains. The moon and the sun would float above us while our life blood spills into the heaven and we would stare into the darkness and proclaim we are alive and we fight the nothingness. Listen. 


The Calling follows the lives of four people who watch as their homes are destroyed right before their eyes in a cataclysmic event from different parts of the country. These four people rise up out of the rubble of what is left of their homes to find that their lives have been drastically changed.


They watch as the few survivors around them change into something they have never seen before. People are changing into magical creatures. While others including themselves now have magic and instinctively know how to use it. Each of these four people are drawn to each. They have a sense or feeling that they must find one another.


The Calling tells the stories of these four people as they survive this cataclysmic event and make their journey to each other. Along the way, they witness things they have never seen before. On their journey, they meet these deadly monsters that are called Grogs. They also come across these big bugs or roaches. I so enjoyed picturing all of these new creatures in my head. The Calling is an epic fantasy masterpiece that I would so love to see on the big screen.


The Calling is so different than anything I have read before. I loved the twist on all the magic and the creatures that people were changing into not to mention the animals. On and then there are the Grogs they sort of reminded me of an alien creature and/or zombies. Epic, Epic….


The Calling is a very intriguing story that will take you on a thrilling journey. The descriptions are so vividly written that they appear in your mind as if they are real or a movie playing in your head. I will definitely check out the rest of the series.


I highly recommend The Calling to all science fiction or post-apocalyptic fans. If you like movies like alien invasions then I think you would like The Calling. One-click your copy of The Calling today to begin this epic journey! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
