This is a special short story from the N'Loron Universe. What is that you ask? It's the veil that my Daughter of Ares Chronicles character, Athine, protects. This is the second in a series of free short story e-books. The #2 issue ties in with some of the plots in my current WIP (Cursed Bloods slated for 2014), but anyone should be able to enjoy the short story as stand alone tale.Disaffected Russian oligarchs conspire to overthrow the current government of Russia and a lone sniper travels to the United States. An Army Special Forces officer assigned to the CIA and a Russian intelligence officer begin to find clues that an attempt will be be made on President Putin's life. A raid on an arms and drug smuggling operation in Kyrgyzstan results in the recovery of a small boy that had been abducted from his school in Geneva. As the evidence of the plot begins to mount, the Special Forces officer and the Russian intelligence operative become targets of Russian gang assassins.]]> Sun, 28 Jul 2013 06:56:03 +0300 https://archive.bookfrom.net/shannon-mcroberts/53674-athine_verses_the_narkurru.html https://archive.bookfrom.net/shannon-mcroberts/53674-athine_verses_the_narkurru.html
Update: As of 2013 I took this book off publication. However, you can still get it in Verses of Athine! Why did I take it down? Made my life easier because I went in and edited all the novellas again! Plus in Verses they are laid out in the order you need to read them. Book 5 in the series is in progress. Athine has accepted her appointed fate as protector of the N'Loron. She successfuly protected the veil between worlds for years, but now a new threat emerges from within the veil. Follow Athine on another great adventure to protect her world and keep the veil between worlds safe!]]> Wed, 26 Oct 2011 21:32:29 +0300 https://archive.bookfrom.net/shannon-mcroberts/309195-the_narkurru.html https://archive.bookfrom.net/shannon-mcroberts/309195-the_narkurru.html
