A GOD OF WAR SEEKING RESTORATION.
AN UNWILLING SACRIFICIAL BRIDE.
BETRAYAL THAT COULD DESTROY THEM BOTH.
“Every fiber of my being is woven from the rage of mortals.”
Theodric, the young God of War, has a talent for inciting conflict and bloodshed. After being stripped of his powers by his older brother, King of Gods, he sets out to instigate a mortal war to prove himself worthy of being restored to power.
“I loved Kisk once; it was my home… But that was before. This is now.”
Sixteen-year-old Cassia, like many in the modern era, believes gods and goddesses to be just a myth. Enemy to her country and an orphan of the war, she has no time for fairy tales. That’s until religious zealots from Theo’s sect offer her up as a sacrifice.
Can Cassia and Theo end the mortal war and return balance to the earth and heavens? Or, will their game of fate lead down a path of destruction, betrayal, and romance neither of them saw coming?
Now on to the interview!
Hi Amber! First I want to say welcome to Two Chicks on Books! FRAGILE
CHAOS sounds absolutely fantastic and I can’t wait to read it! And am so happy
that you could stop by for a visit!
For the readers:
can you tell us a little bit about FRAGILE CHAOS and the characters?
Fragile Chaos is set in modern times in the fictional world with a new
pantheon of gods. Theodric, the God of War, is trying to earn his power back by
proving he can wage a war. Cassia, a 16-year-old sister of a traitor, is sent
against her will as a sacrifice to Theo to end the war on their island. Both
Cassia and Theo have their own motives and reasons to lie.
Is this a
standalone or a series? And if it’s a series do you have a title for book 2
yet? And if it’s a standalone what are you working on next?
Fragile Chaos is a standalone. I just finished revising a manuscript
featuring the Sandman. It’s been so fun to work on!
Were any of the
characters in the book inspired by people from your real life?
Nope! I don’t use people I know in my books because it might influence
things that need to happen to the characters.
Who was your
favorite character to write? What about your least favorite?
Leander was hands down my favorite. I think Astra was my least favorite
to write, but I liked writing them all in their own way.
What is your
favorite passage/scene in FRAGILE CHAOS?
Oooh, it’s a spoiler-y passage/scene so I can’t answer this one! My
second favorite is the scene leading up to the first kiss.
What kind of
research did you have to do for the story?
I researched different pantheons of gods before deciding to create my
own. Antimatter was another thing I read up on. A friend of mine is a
scientist, and she helped out with that one.
Who is your
ultimate book boyfriend?
Arin from The Winner’s Trilogy. *swoon*
What inspired you
to write YA?
The teen years are so pivotal, and reading really helped me through
mine.
