Hey Dragons!

Today is the day! Private Dragon's next publication, "Children of the Black" by WJ Long III. This is a book that we have been talking about for a while and that's because it's one of our most anticipated projects. This is our first major publication into the science-fiction genre and it's an epic adventure that you won't want to miss, so get your copy today!!

Veronica made a fantastic unofficial summary two weeks ago that I think I'm going to steal.

"Children of the Black" has five main characters, all with their own priorities and ambitions. All five are connected in some way with a mysterious chain of events on a research space station called Firaxis. One is a young, spunky girl called Vision. She has psionic powers that she doesn't know how to control or how she got them in the first place. Her guardian, a private investigator named Claude, has been infected with a parasitic alien life form as a result of the events on the Firaxis Station. This silver parasite inside him gives him physical capabilities well beyond that of a normal human but each use of those abilities comes at a cost. A large conspiracy looms over Vision and Claude as they get caught in a web of mystery, deceit, betrayal, paranoia, and revenge. Between their abilities, Claude and Vision are a formidable pair but even they might not be enough to survive the chaos of the situation that they've gotten themselves into.

But, I will also include the official synopsis.

After a thousand years of war, a scarred humanity struggles to carve a path free of its shadow, but old habits die hard. In this trying time, a former mercenary and a young girl with psionic gifts are tasked with finding what remains of a failed project that once had the potential to bring about lasting peace. With remnants of their pasts returning to lay claim on their future, the two must learn to depend on one another if they have any hope of keeping a new conflict from burning its way throughout the known universe.

If you're not yet convinced on whether you want to buy "Children of the Black," fear not. We also released a free digital preview of the book that you can access. Check it out here! Just be warned, I predict that you'll get so hooked that you'll be compelled to buy the entire book. The tagline for the preview says it all, "Every Secret has a Silver Lining."

I'm so excited for this book to finally get published, as is everyone at Private Dragon Publishing. We'd like to thank everyone involved with the making of this book. A special thanks to Samantha and the art team, to Jake and his editors, and most of all to WJ Long III, the book's author. We are looking forward to seeing what this book and it's forthcoming series can accomplish.
