“Maybe it’s time to
set aside intellectualism and experience the wonders of things that
can’t be explained.”
The Earth has stopped
rotating and no one seems to notice or care, except for
bleeding-heart supermodel Venetia DeMille. While Mother Earth begins
to fade into a silent death, Venetia clings to hope. She solicits the
help of a scientist to help, but no avail.
Not to be hindered in her
quest to save the Earth, Venetia sets out on a journey around the
world to find like-minded people and caring souls - an exuberant
youth, a magical healer and a man of God. Although together they are
able to rekindle faith, their effort still does not provide results.
It is a mysterious meeting of four horsemen that carry them to the
east where they experience a connection to the earth and each other.
Could
the forces that gather with their united efforts prove to be the
remedy to save the planet?
Excerpt:
As
Venetia snoozed peacefully, the shadow of a large machete crossed her
face. Opening her eyes, she saw a tall, striking man wearing a white
turban and a white silk robe tied loosely around his waist, exposing
his tanned chest. “Who are you and why have you kidnapped us?”
she asked, unafraid.
“I
am the Sultan Saosh! Who are you?” he asked, pointing the tip of
the knife at the nape of her neck.
“I
am supermodel Venetia De Mille,” she replied.
“What
are you doing here?” he asked, daringly.
“Why
did your thugs bring us here? What do you want?” Venetia asked.
Saosh
pressed the knife deeper into her neck, just enough not to pierce
skin. “What were you doing in Haifa?”
“Looking
for answers.” Venetia pushed the knife away from her neck and sat
up. “My friends and I are trying to save the world. We have tried
science, healing magic, prayer and now we are here at the cradle of
civilization looking for answers.”
“Impossible!
It is I who is going to save the world. I am the Sultan Saosh. I am
the descendent of Aushedarapmah, who is the descendent of Ansedhar.”
He swung his arm in a dramatic gesture. “It has been written from
many ages, when the sun hung motionless in the sky my ancestors met
with the angels and returned them to Earth, to bring peace and
righteousness to humanity. As my ancestors have done in the past, I
will do. I am waiting for my angel.” Saosh glanced down at
Venetia’s beautiful face and vivid blue eyes, and believed she had
arrived.
Venetia
admired the dashing Saosh and his passionate declarations. Is
it possible? Could I be his angel? Could this be fate, destiny? “How
do you know when she…your angel will arrive? What are you supposed
to do?”
Saosh
thoughtfully pressed the tip of his sword into the sand. “My angel
will tell me what to do, what to say. My angel will give me the
answers humanity needs to hear. Do you know the answer?” he asked
curiously.
“No,”
said Venetia. “Sadly, I don’t, that is why my friends and I are
searching.”
