Synopsis "Broken Souls: Love and Betrayal"
Lauren Berg is pleased to present her new fantasy-romance book "Broken Souls - Love and Betrayal", which is the first book from "Sandra's Romantic Affairs and Adventures" series. "Broken Souls" is part romance, part thriller, part adventure, and a tender love story. It's filled with complicated, but believable characters, placed in an almost unimaginable setting. If we've done our job, you'll laugh, you'll cry, and you'll feel the thrill, hurt and disappointments of young love. Sandra Baker is a beautiful, intelligent, and determined young woman. Half Japanese, she gets her soul from her brave ancestors. At an early age she displays a prodigy level for Kendo, the Japanese martial art that means literally, "the way of the sword." Simply by watching her Great Uncle Ichirou, she mimics the delicate and precise kata movements to absolute perfection and masters them perfectly despite her tender age. Her proficiency leads to a fascination with Japanese history, ancient bladed weapons, and archaeology. Through a friend of her father's, she is awarded an internship at an archaeological research firm to supplement the scholarship she so desperately needs to pay for college. Her need for diversion from the frustrations of work and a highly confusing love/hate relationship with her wealthy and dangerously good looking supervisor sends her prowling through the street markets and garage sales off Chicago's West Loop. A mysterious picture of the old castle on the hill will send Sandra on a fantastic journey into a dangerous world where slavery and seduction walk hand in hand and half familiar creatures rule the primeval forest. Join Sandra on her journey through the love and fight in the mysterious, fabled world of Taramul Celalalt. We think you'll be glad you did.
