NO ONE LEAVES SHILOH AND RETURNS.

Ever since her mother’s disappearance, Neriah Rosewood has feared losing anyone else she loves. She could never imagine a world without her brother Kenan and little sister Vera. Her home, Shiloh, is a haven that separates them from the ancient land of Betzaria– a punishment due to the failures of the past. No one leaves or visits Shiloh without falling victim to the preying shadows at nightfall.

With her father as chief, strict measures are put in place to keep his people safe – as long as they stay within the boundaries. Neriah feels helpless in Shiloh, though secretly wonders what freedom awaits her beyond the borders.

When her grandmother begins revealing that the tales told in her childhood of the fallen hero and the precious stones are real, Neriah cannot bring herself to believe any of it. Yet the discovery starts to let her question everything she knows and soon reveals the dangers and secrets Shiloh had all along. Tragedy hits again, causing Neriah to lose her brother Kenan to the night just like her mother. This time, it pushes her to break the one rule she’s been warned to keep all her life.

Neriah must fulfil a sacred mission by restoring the ancient land of Betzaria. With the help of new allies from Jo’Dan and a little faith in her heart, the battle between light and dark begins.

Ember in the Dust is the first book of a christian fantasy novel series of The Pure Gems of Betzaria – one filled with adventure, faith and hope.
