The Silverback

 

"When one of those messes with one of our own, we hit back." He squatted and leaned forward with his hips. Both hands overlapped, with a stern hold on the rubber handles, he squeezed. "Who shot, Ramona?" He yelled over his challenging attempt to push on the crimping pliers. "Who shot her, mutt?"

​

"Papa, stop!" The beggars eyes enlarged. His stained teeth revealed through a gaping mouth- it was fresh and tinted-mixed saliva colored blood soiling it like plaque. I was so focused on it that it overshadowed a feeble cry. "I can't take this! Stop it; I said stop it right now!" Father leaned in; the beggars head chucked back. His neck gone red as a beetroot; veins protrude out the shells of his muscles. He wore a grotesque smile, gritting his teeth and allowing a silent but forced scream out. 

​

"Robby, look at our daughter! The real monster here is you." 

​

Ramona uncovers the truth about herself and her family secrets. Along those lies, she must retrieve the key in trade for her family's safety. With that, everything she knew about her grandfather comes with consequences. For instance, who is the Silverback? What is Ramona, and how does she tie in with saving humanity?

Follow Ramona as she juggles her triangular of fate. Save her family, protect the man she's come to love,  or fish for the answers of who she is despite of the outcome.

Faction of Time Book 1

 

This book is well worth a read. It mixes some concepts you think you are familiar with and puts a spin on them. Tilly has broken away from the Tolkien /Martin mold of story telling and ventured more into the Asmov, Anthony, or Serling mode of storytelling. It seems like our world but much different in many ways.

Monsters, damsel in not so much distress, prophecies, excessive drinking, hell, what more could you ask for?
