The Revelation of Three
(The Empyrean Trilogy, #2)
By Sara M Schaller
YA Fantasy, Paranormal
Hardcover, Paperback & ebook, 387 Pages
August 3, 2021 by Designs by Seraphim

He thought he was prepared to go to war with the Devil, but what if Satan’s not his true enemy?

Ever since the Devil donned a powerful amulet that allows him to walk the Earth, he has grown weaker—and so has his authority. As a result, mutiny is rising in Hell, and the Devil must fight to remain the king of the underworld. Little does he know, there is much more at stake than his title.

After the death of the nun who raised him and his best friend, Jordan Conway cannot think of anything but finding Sophia and keeping her safe. Luckily, he has a team of archangels on his side, and with their help, the two lifelong friends are reunited. But Jordan didn’t expect the reunion to include another of Sister Helen’s charges—the boy he’d loved like a brother but who had pushed him away, Dane. The three orphans never thought their lives would amount to much, but finding their way back to each other is leading them to finding out who they truly are.

All paths converge when the fourteenth sphere, a celestial object with a power like no other, appears at the Met. The angels must keep it from falling into the wrong hands, and soon, the lines between good and evil blur as they find themselves fighting alongside Satan to prevent the unleashing of a dark and dangerous force hell-bent on taking them all down. But in this world, nothing is as it seems, and the mysterious sphere is possibly the least of their concerns…

Get ready for another adventure as the three friends, and the angels they now consider family, travel the globe in search of a way to save each other—and the world.

The Genesis of Seven
(The Empyrean Trilogy, #1)
By Sara M Schaller
YA Fantasy, Paranormal
Hardcover, Paperback & ebook, 348 Pages
July 7, 2020 by Designs by Seraphim

 

Eighteen-year-old Jordan Conway has always wanted to help people, but helping seven archangels to achieve their divine duty was never quite what he had in mind…
When Jordan is entrusted by the head nun of his orphanage to deliver a mysterious backpack to a New York City address, he comes unexpectedly face-to-face with Archangel Gabriel. Their acquaintance fast uncovers a labyrinth of secrets that connect Jordan’s once-normal life to an
ancient heavenly prophecy. Now, he must help Gabriel to reunite the archangels before evil forces grow too strong.
Soon, Jordan and Gabriel find themselves on a divine quest across the globe, while deep in the pits of Hell, Satan plots his return to earth. To gain control, however, Satan needs the powerful prophetic objects locked safe inside Jordan’s backpack—and the devil will stop at nothing to get
what he wants.
With that notion threatening his only family and the safety of his newfound friends, Jordan must do whatever it takes to protect the ones he loves and help the archangels succeed. If that means sacrificing all he thought he knew to go to war with the devil himself? Bring it on.

Interview with Sara

Q:  What was your inspiration for this series?

A:  I completely agree with the philosophy you should write the book you always wanted to read, and for me that is what drove me to write this series. When I was younger, it seemed no matter where I looked, be it books or even movies, angels were always portrayed in a way that just did not agree with me. Either their stories were based in romances with humans, or they were pitted against each other with evil intents. Because of this, I wanted to give the angels a new narrative, one that portrayed them as a group, focused on their origin story, and described the circumstances that led to the ultimate battle of good vs. evil.

Q:  Which character do you most connect with and why?
A:  Hmm…that’s a tough question. I think I connect most with Jordan because him and I have many similarities in terms of how he’s driven to help people and fiercely protect those that are closest to him.

Q:  What are you currently working on?
A:  Right now, I’m hard at work on Book 3 in the series. But I’ve also been planning for what comes next once the series is over.

Q:  Do you have any specific writing rituals (favorite pen, shirt, music, etc)?
A:  I do have some. For instance, I can’t listen to music and need to be in a quiet room. I always have a mug of water at my desk (and usually chocolate too). Before I started working full-time, I would wake up, exercise, and then start writing, which was so productive for me. That’s the routine I had when writing The Genesis of Seven. I look forward to going back to that one day J

Q:  What’s something about you that would surprise your readers?
A: I struggled with reading at a young age and never really had any aspirations to write. Now I can’t get enough of books and stories.

Q:  What would you be if you weren’t a writer?

A:  I think no matter what, I would have some kind of creative job. I actually work as a Design and Production Specialist right now at my local library, which involves graphic design for marketing and events. I’ve thought of pursuing book design too. Ultimately, something involving graphic design and books.

Thanks so much, Sara. I appreciate you taking the time to share a bit about you and your book with my readers!

    My favorite part of the interview was when the author replied that she wanted to write a book with angels depicted unlike any other book she had read before and tell their story in a different way. This series sounds fun to read.
