The Loura Lure – Book 3

Shamus Bergin and his Keeper comrades battle to rescue Caitlin Dunlevan from a force sent by Enilorac to assassinate her. She is the woman who has occupied Shamus’s dreams his whole life. The most powerful Angel-Human hybrid, she is the only descendant of the Sacred Order of Keepers who can wield the profound elemental magic necessary to bring forth the Angel. Unbeknownst to Shamus, he holds the key to unraveling the secrets required for Caitlin to fulfill the duty she was born to carry out.

With each passing day, the cause of the light and humanity’s risk of total annihilation draw closer. Enilorac’s army of darkness spreads across the Louran landscape of 20,000 years ago, seeking out the Angel and his Itavo Stone. Aided by horrific creatures dispatched to him from the demon realm, he is becoming an unstoppable force. If he can murder either the Wigget bearer or Caitlin Dunlevan while he seeks out his master’s prize, his path to victory will be assured, and the light of mankind will be eclipsed forever.

Shamus and Caitlin are the complete answer to how the people of Loura might survive. They must keep faith with each other and, in turn, rely on their comrades to protect them long enough for their respective destinies to come to fruition. Even when trusts will be challenged and faith will be broken, the Loura Lure must prevail.

The Legend of Jane Coleman

This is a story of a stowaway girl on the passenger ship LYON, who was one of the colonists at Roanoke Island. It chronicles her life from ages fifteen to sixty-one, and it describes her hardships in both England and Virginia. The stories’ span of time is from 1587 to 1633.

The story is derived from the passenger list of the people that made up the third attempt at colonization of the New World. The passenger list had two people on it whose first names were either made illegible to historians or purposely omitted by John White, who was the governor of the expedition.

The two names were (blank) Coleman, listed as a woman passenger, and (blank) Marvis, listed as a child under the age of sixteen. Jane Colman was actually both persons who were written on that list.
