Amber Drake knows she’s different. She sees faces in pools of water, can move objects with her thoughts, and feels an energy coursing through her veins that radiates through her skin and ripples perception. She has done her best to hide these episodes over the years but when a strange misshapen man breaks into her apartment and wrecks it, the very people she has come to love and trust reveal a unimaginable secret. Amber is the only person who can save three worlds from annihilation. Hidden among the humans by Marcus Drake the man she has called Father, she has been shielded from the trolls who want her dead. Watched over by Teezal Thistlecomb, the fairy who has been her companion since childhood, it takes all their cunning to evade Gorash the troll king who requires something very special from Amber. Although in love with and loved by David Mack, the man whose family legacy has been to protect her, Amber feels alone and betrayed as each reveals their part in the arrangement made at her birth. When the Garden fell, what was left was divided into three: Humans – the children of Adam and Eve , the Fae – those who came from the Angel of the Garden and Trolls – descendants of the Creature who tempted . Each world was given a Sword to protect and hope in the form of a prophecy that said a savior would come born of all bloods that would be able to restore the Garden and bring peace to all worlds. Amber is that redeemer. Now as the lines betweens the three worlds blur and forces cross to create chaos, Amber must choose. Does she turn her back on the prophecy and let three worlds die, or will she accept her destiny and potentially give her life so others may live.

Affaire de Coeur - 5 Stars - Reviewers Choice
P.K. Eden's FIREBRAND is a riverting, complex work of good versus evil worthy of the Hobbit series and Harry Potter. The story line is concise and clear while dealing with fairies, goblins,ogres, trolls, halflings and all other sorts of Otherworld beings. FIREBRAND is fascinating and gets better the more you read.
Two-LIps Review - Reviewers Choice Award
Wow! P.K. Eden tells an explosive story that had me on the edge of my seat and inhaling this book like a good cup of butter pecan flavored coffee! The action and suspense was non-stop! Amber only wanted to live a normal life, having a husband and children but the dark and deadly troll King wanted her and would not stop at nothing until he had her; he knew who she was while she had no clue what he even wanted from her which made Firebrand all the more exciting. Human, trolls, fairies, goblins, and specters dueled to the death to save their worlds in a manner reminiscent of Armageddon. Firebrand contains such vivid detail that I could picture it all happening as the words leaped off the pages therefore making this a definite must read! Oh, I do hope there is a sequel!!!

The ideas in FIREBRAND are far-reaching and distinctive. They are presented in a slow escalation of information as Amber learns who and what she is and what she is expected to do. This presents the rules of this world in an easy way for readers to understand. However, I always have a problem with preordained prophecy because, logically, the end must be preordained, too. This might be a quirk to this reader only. I also had a few qualms about stilted dialog here and there, but the story overcomes and rises above most of these faults.The love Amber and David come to share has a poignant side in that both know it will end at The Triad. Sub plots and love stories involving secondary characters add interest. For a relatively short (two-hundred plus page) novel, FIREBRAND contains an amazing amount of world building based on common folk and myth motifs with the added dash of the Garden of Eden. Author P. K. Eden took a chance on an unconventional setting and plot, and her inspiration paid off. FIREBRAND packs a huge punch of action and danger with a doomed love story you will enjoy.

Firebrand was born out of the love and fantasy and a keen interest in the sci-fi channel. Working with my writing soul mate, Patt Mihailoff, Firebrand is the culmination of a year's work of work and fun. We hope you'll join Amber and David on their mission to save all three worlds from desruction.
