Science tells us that if things can't be seen then they are not real.  Religion, no matter our faith, binds us all together for though our faiths differ they all lead to a higher purpose.  Yet often science questions the existence of 'faith' for you cannot see it with the naked eye.  As a society we share in various mythologies around the world.  Things that aren't real but yet science has found things that were once believed a fantasy to be in fact true.  Now what if everything you knew turned out be a fantasy and everything thought to be a fantasy was in fact reality?  What if the myths and legends that global societies have foretold in the past are in fact the real truth?  Tabitha Pike's "People of the Dark" brings forth to light an ancient society but it is not the society that the reader knows.  Ayala, the female protagonist in this story is camping out in the woods after losing a seven year old patient.  Her life is a mystery and not much of her past is known to her or the reader.  While camping out in the woods near her parents old home a shot is heard and she springs into action, being a heart surgeon.  Upon arriving she sees something that can't possibly be real, for how could something that is not known to exist be real?  On the ground lies a strange man named Kendrick.  But Kendrick is not like Ayala or any other human.  He is of a race, one that has existed since the dawn of time.  It is a race whose name has been tainted by the people of our world and one that hides in the shadows, for he is one of the Illuminati.  This race, the true Illuminati is not like the people who hide in the shadows and allegedly put governments into power in our world, they are an ancient, proud and peaceful race.  Their home is hidden to protect their people and they have laws and customs just like mortal men.  Yet the true Illuminati are different as is seen in Ayala's journey throughout the book.  She finds herself falling in love with this young Illuminati named Kendrick and is taken to his homeland under the guise of being his 'mate'.  As Ayala's and Kendrick's feelings for each other grow she goes through an initiation ceremony to become a "Watcher" a group of Illuminati who protect their homeland and watch for Rouges, bad people led by a former child born of an Illuminati male and a breeder female for there are no women among the Illuminati, who is cursed with darkness and hate. Ayala still is unaware of her past and yet when she finds a file of her parents things end up changing for the worse.  Ayala must face her destiny and uncover her past in order to defeat the darkness that threatens to destroy her new family once and for all for if she fails then all will be lost.

 Excerpt:

 

The sound of the waterfall soothed my soul. I unpacked my backpack set up my sleeping bag, and started a camp fire. This truly was a secluded place. I was feeling like me again, when I heard a gun shot echo through the trees. I heard a man yell in pain. Something took over my legs. I jumped up and ran toward the sound. When I got close I could see a man laying on the ground bleeding. Another mysterious man in a long black trench coat hovered over him.

 

I screamed. The dark stranger turned to look at me then he disappeared before my eyes in a shadowy mist. I rubbed my eyes. I must be imaging things. A man could not just disappear. The wounded man was lying on the ground bleeding from his chest. I quickly but cautiously made my way over to the injured man. I was so confused, was I loosing my mind?

After Alleah performs emergency surgery on the dark handsome stranger

I sat by the campfire for a while poking the hot embers with a stick. The thought of the disappearing stranger still plagued my mind. I just could not shake the feeling that something strange was going on. Did I hit my head and fall down the rabbit h***? Or did I take the red pill instead of the blue one? Who knows? I just knew that something was not right. 

I decided to check his vitals again. Everything was normal. I proceeded to check his pupils to see if they were dilated, but when I did, I received the shock of my life. I got to my feet and backed away. Did I just see what I think I did? No Way, I could not have.

 

I stood about two feet from the stranger laying in the sleeping bag my mind running a hundred miles a minute. I must be dreaming. That was it, I was still asleep. I pinched my arm to find out. “Ouch, I am awake.” Well, maybe I was loosing my mind.

 

I slowly crouched down beside the stranger again. I had to take another look at his eyes, when my hand was nearly to his lids the stranger open up his eyes. It was just as I expected, I had seen what I though I had seen. It startled me so badly I feel back on the ground beside him.

 

He let out a loud groan. “Where am I?”

 

In shock I did not say anything, His eyes still flashing in my mind. He was not human, or was he? His irises where the most brilliant color of green I had ever seen; they were nearly neon green, His large black pupils where shaped as a heart. Finally I shook myself back to reality. It had to be contacts. That’s what it was, contacts. Movie directors used them all the time in their movies.

 

Hello everyone. I know there are many that are excited about this upcoming book. I figured I would post an update on how far along it is now.

Every thing is flowing so freely and the story is getting exciting and putting me on the edge of my seat. There is much action, and danger ahead and hopefully I don't get lost in the battle of it all.

I believe this is one of my best writes yet and this is one book you don't want to miss out on. Hopefully I want have to talk to my editors and move up my deadline date of Dec. 17, 2011 to first of 2012. So far it is coming along great as long as the brain suckers don't put me into a writers block it will be finished by then.

Stay tune for more updates on this amazing upcoming novel. Everything in the novel so far has been copyrighted along with the Watchers names and abilities. No part of this information may be used in any form at all. It all belongs to Tabitha R. Pike. Plagerism is a crime and punishable by Law.

 

I think I will be changing Eros' name to something else and the spelling of Alleah will be different, maybe Allaya.

If you were to show us both covers instead of just one, we could share an opinion like you requested. :) There's a Book Excerpts section under the Groups tab too.
