Witness in the Dark

This is my first audiobook. It may not be a professional recording, but you get to listen to me reading my book to you instead of reading it yourself. Enjoy! Of course, if you want to see the free online version of "Witness in the Dark," the version you read with your eyes, go to witnessinthedark.blogspot.com Epifany was a simple girl with simple joys and simple goals, wanting nothing more than to love and to be loved, when Hapak Akylas came into her life and everything fell perfectly into place. Soon the adventurous young couple followed a calling to leave their sacred homeland of Miras for a life in the exotic land of Kharma, where they hoped to share with their new neighbors their Miran culture of healing and communion with the gods of the sky. Life is beautiful, painted in vibrant colors of nature, tradition, music, faith, love, and hard work, and when their first child is born, the little family is as happy as can be. But perhaps things left in the dark were always an inevitable shadow creeping over their happiness. Perhaps things never were quite the way they seemed. Alongside the Akylases' story, another story unfolds of a devoted and patriotic Miran named Alethes. Journal entries from her teenage years explain in her own zealous words the difficulties and hard-won victories of her ancestors, who established the freedom and faith of the kingdom of Miras. Nothing is more important to her than honoring her heritage and the gods she serves, and caring for those she feels connected to. She knows the history of the kingdom she loves, but does she know who she is and can anyone open her eyes to the reality she has lost sight of? What is the connection between the Akylas family and Alethes? Could one's story be the key to unlock that of the other?
