NEW RELEASE
Rachel Gehman (pen name Rachel D. Lyne) has a new release coming out!
Blind Eye (Book 2 in The Tales of Rizalia Series*) will be released October 30th exclusively on Amazon. Ten years after the events of Pure Heart, remnants of battles past linger on the island of Rizalia. Unknown to its peaceful inhabitants, deception stirs anew in the country of Clustoir. Unwillingly cast into the throes of Clustoir’s scheming, Zelina Rose, from the country of Efair, finds herself woven into the wicked Clustoian Generals’ plot. Will she turn a blind eye to truth, forfeiting peace and love? Or, with the inspiration of an unlikely ally, fight against the Clustoian Generals’ cursed wind power?
*The Tales of Rizalia Series is a fantasy-steeped, faith-based romantasy series for Young Adults. The island of Rizalia is home to a generational curse born from lost love. From the curse, peaceful countries have been devastated by the wind power that the Clustoian Generals possess. In this series (loosely based on the Fruit of the Spirit and with timeless themes of light vs. dark), readers will be transported to Rizalia through the eyes of various women and men who seek to put an end to the generals' destruction.
