Kingsport, Tennessee - Twilight Times Books is pleased to announce the
release of a fantasy novel, Eyes of Truth by Linda Suzane.
"Eyes of Truth is a fantasy set in an exotic place where
watch dragons bugle warning of impending disaster, soothsayers seek
answers from house elementals, and some men possess the Eyes of Insu, the
power to tell if a man lies."
Reviews
"In the exotic Kingdom of Naj, the dynastic rulers of divine
descent, the Insu-has, have the gift of metaphysical insight, a gift the
power of which is attested to by the number of eyes tattooed across their
foreheads. In the city of Suterama, Dyamu Insu-ha Coiji rules because he
has won in the Trials of Truth, a competition that his older brother, Insu-ha
Dar, should have won but purposely lost.
Dar is the unorthodox member of his family. A subject of much gossip
because he is blamed for the death of a man he trounced for having beaten,
raped, and disfigured Dar's favorite so-ree at the local water house, he
is also known as a champion of the poor and the disadvantaged. He is a
well-traveled exile of many trades and much experience, so when trouble
arises in Dak-moon in the border province of Fanara, administered by
Magistrate Insu-ha Shoki, an old antagonist to Dar, Dyuma Coiji chooses
Dar as his Hand to investigate.
Dar accepts the mission but takes with him a retired member of the
Assassins Guild, a tough and canny older woman named Waulo, who has the
singular ability to lie successfully even to an Insu-ha. In Dak-moon, they
discover gruesome murders; numerous mysterious deaths from an
undiagnosable ghost sickness; a negligent and reclusive magistrate who
sleeps by day and walks by night; cryptic seers and gorgeous femme
fatales; town talk of dangerous night creatures, the Wo-nurs, and the
inexplicable Dolzi, supposedly long dead but now seemingly alive and
looking for new recruits or new victims; numerous myths and superstitions;
and bugling watch dragons who are sensitive to impending dangers, both
bodily and spiritual.
Ms. Suzane has woven a richly complex tale, teeming with intrigue and
danger, peopled by distinctive characters with unusual motives, strange
appetites, and a thirst for deadly pleasures...."

Author Bio
Linda Suzane is pursing her lifelong dream to be a full time writer.
Her passions include vampires, murder, and mystery. Her first ebook is a
romantic mystery about a murder mystery game designer whose mystery game
goes murderously wrong. The Murder Game is available from
www.playmurder.com. Linda enjoys designing her own mystery games and is
currently working on three games, one based on the game in The Murder
Game.
When not writing about murder and mystery, she is writing about
vampires. Her vampire fiction can be found at www.midnightblood.com. She
is currently working on a series of vampire novels.
Sometimes she combines her interest in murder, mystery, and vampires as
she did in her novel the Eyes of Truth, a fantasy mystery which
includes two different breeds of vampire the Wo-nur and the Dolzi, pitting
mythical Wo-nur against the stark reality of the Dolzi, exploring how
legends and superstition can terrify, but reality can destroy.
Linda considers herself something of an Internet explorer, seeking to
know and conquer this new frontier as an eBook author, content provider,
and web designer. She lives with her husband of thirty-three years
on the beautiful Oregon coast with four domineering cats and an office
full of dragons.
