~Blurb~
For the average human being, seeing dark auras, hearing
ghostly whispers, and witnessing a contortion in the face of a passerby could
easily be chalked up to hallucinations, daydreams, nightmares; mere illusions
in reality. If we look hard enough, we will find explanations for such
paranormal events. However, in this world, there are humans that are not so
average. These humans are part of a bigger plan. Jesca Gershon-Sera is entering
her sophomore year of college in Marietta Georgia, her hometown. She holds down
a part-time job with her best friend, her family is close by, and school is
going well. Everything should be perfect. Except, recently Jesca has been
experiencing strange things; hallucinations, nightmares, daydreams that she
hasn’t experienced in years. Jesca attempts to brush them off as stress from
her new semester at school, but the illusions plaguing her reality intensify.
Jesca “illusions in reality” begin manifesting within her as supernatural
strength and abilities. Could she be losing her mind? Ezra Kahn, a mysterious
professor of Jesca’s, happens to be everywhere she is recently; since the
illusions intensified. Along with the slight fear that Ezra is stalking her,
Jesca fears that he may be the culprit of these illusions. One night, in the heat
of one of Jesca’s grand illusions, Ezra approaches her with an unexpected
revelation up his sleeve. He reveals that she is not losing her mind, but
rather all of the “illusions” in her skewed reality are very real and cause for
inconceivable, catastrophic events to come. Ezra explains to her that, by
birth, she is part of a fellowship of guardians that have inherited the
responsibility to protect our earth and the human race. In Piercing the Fold:
Book 1, “illusions in reality” are as real as you and I through the eyes of
college student, Jesca Gershon Sera, and a fellowship of guardians predestined
to protect humanity. *The Piercing the Fold series is intended for Mature Young
Adult and Adult readers due to the the paranormal and unorthodox scientific concepts
addressed throughout. This series contains a rich mixture of the paranormal,
science fiction, romance, adventure, and suspense.
