Born Today: The Touch of Essence: Book One, Volume One of The Realm Bound Universe

“A beautiful girl drops into your life, gives you magical powers of kinkiness, and you didn't think there would be at least one little problem to deal with?” Annie’s words echo in Jake Emmerson’s mind.That woman’s name is Evri and it is her first day on earth. She is lovely but clueless. To keep her, Jake must accept the ownership of the Essence–a magical power that enchants and transforms ordinary objects into the extraordinary. According to the physically young but spiritually ancient Evri, somehow, doing this will prevent the power from becoming a cataclysmic devastation on Earth, just as it happened on Mount Vesuvius.The irreverent Annie invites herself to visit – a friend, former co-worker, and a regular sight in his past – arriving with enough luggage to settle in.Missionaries, ghost-chasers, and rejects from the local renaissance fair show up at the old farm that serves as his new home, and it is clear someone, or something, is paying close attention to Jake.The price of accepting Evri’s offer is far, far higher than he could have ever imagined–requiring him to fight for his life against those who would seize Evri and the Essence for themselves and costing him his understanding of the nature of reality itself.
