[Pixel Picks] Freebies & Deals for Feb 24th: Part 1

When PI Quint Mitchell volunteered to help with an archaeological survey in St. Augustine, he didn’t count on digging up a murder victim. In the nation’s oldest city, Mitchell discovers links to ancient sins, comes face to face with his own past, and unleashes powerful forces that will do anything to keep their secrets – even if it means taking his life.

In this award-winning debut mystery, author Parker Francis taps into an undercurrent of violence hidden behind the sleepy façade of the historic town. When Mitchell’s friend, the City Archaeologist, is charged with a brutal murder, he must find the true killer while fighting inner demons and the corrosive residue of racial violence dating back to the Civil Rights Movement. As he learns, St. Augustine was birthed in blood – Matanzas means “place of slaughter” in Spanish – and violence is never far from the surface.

There is a world beyond our own, a place that resides backstage to our own reality. In a realm where magic is woven into the very fabric of the land, an ancient prophecy promises that thirteen mortals will alter not only this hidden world, but that they are the keys that will change the future of all existence.

The forces of darkness and light search for the thirteen mortals, their desperate race against the other factions blurring the line between good and evil, between hero and villain. One by one, the thirteen mortals are swayed or captured.

Kai Oakman is one of the thirteen mortals spoken of in the prophecy. With his faerie lover, Ko’laru, they seek to live free, their lives pledged only to each other. As the noose around the thirteen individuals tightens, as all of reality is swept up in the prophesied change, the mortals seek to escape their destiny but that choice may no longer be theirs to make.
