Nia Ammo only wants to win the field hockey state championship. But it's not the other teams she has to worry about stopping her - it's the two soldiers in ancient battle armor who attack during the game!

But it's not the other teams she has to worry about stopping her - it's the two soldiers in ancient battle armor who attack during the game! Nia has always been a little quicker, a little stronger, a little more agile than anyone else. She quickly learns that hand-to-hand combat is another skill she possesses...The attack makes headlines and causes her parents to uproot the family business and move cross country during her senior year. It's not an easy adjustment and it's not long before she finds herself in the middle of another physical altercation, this time with the entire boy's lacrosse team. But a mysterious stranger named John Leon shows up to help and starts Nia's life on an uncontrollable spiral she never imagined...On the night of her eighteenth birthday, she begins to dream about being another person in another life. The dreams grow increasingly frequent - and increasingly clear - and she begins to question everything about her life, from who she really is, to who she really was, to whether her parents are who they claim to be...Nia unexpectedly finds herself falling for John but has fierce competition for his affection. Cassie is her neighbor and the daughter of her parents' business partner. She's selfish and ruthless and shallow and John seems like he can't stand her. But he also can't say no to her...John knows something about Nia's past and the dreams she's been having but getting the information from him might turn deadly...Excerpt from "Drinking Life"CHAPTER ONEI’m the first person to see the attackers though I have plenty of reason to be focused elsewhere. I don’t know how but it’s like I sensed the danger coming and looked up just in time to see a pair of behemoths charging out of the nearby woods. In the split second I first lay eyes on them, my mind registers ever minor detail: two men well above six feet tall, biceps rippling like steroid-laced professional wrestlers. One has long greasy blond hair and wields a sword almost as long as his body; the other has brown hair just as long and greasy and wields a massive axe. Their teeth are equally brown and rotted, evil sneers of blood lust plastered across their lips. There’s no doubt in my mind that they’re both ugly but I can’t see their faces behind metal helmets that cover their heads and most of their faces. Only a single slit in the helmets allows them to see, their eyes focused in my direction.Had I not spotted the attackers right away, I surely would have heard them soon after appearing from the trees. They wear matching suits of armor that cover their chest and legs, clattering and clanging with every step they run. I can’t imagine how a normal human could walk in such bulky suits let alone run but the two don’t seem slowed by them at all. For the second time in a matter of seconds, my mind surprises me with something else I can’t quite explain: somehow I know that these soldiers are from the Spanish Armada. Logically, I think this should be some sort of ill-advised joke. This type of soldier hasn’t been seen in centuries. Others around me must have the same thought because it takes several seconds for the first scream to cry out from the large crowd. I stop staring at the soldiers once I feel a heavy smash against the back of my leg; I’d almost forgotten that I was in the middle of the most important game of my life.Did I forget to mention that I’m in the middle of a field hockey game?ALSO BY THE AUTHORFLEA'S FIVE CHRISTMASES SERIESBook 1 - The North Pole ChallengeBook 2 - The Rudolph ChallengeBook 3 - The Jack Frost ChallengeBook 4 coming soon...THE COMET CLEMENT SERIESBook 1 - The Inner CircleBook 2 - InterceptionBook 3 - The New Space Race Book 4 coming soon less

As she chases after Cassie, she remembers who she is... who she REALLY is.

And mine just happens to be terrible.“Gray van, pull over now!” echoes the voice of authority speeding behind me. I barely hear it over the sound of rushing wind. “Young lady, get back inside the vehicle now or we will open fire!”Celeste drives the tour van like a wild woman, pushing it so hard that the engine whines with protest. We speed down the highway – at least as much as the van can speed – weaving in and out of traffic. It’s not the first high-speed chase I’ve been involved in today but this time it’s the police chasing us instead of John’s soldiers. Ponce de Leon’s soldiers, I remind myself. I allow the thought of John to enter my mind for only a split second and it almost leads to catastrophe. I lose my balance just long enough to fall out of my open door. Somehow I manage to hook my arms through the open window frame and stop my body from plunging to the speeding pavement below. My feet dangle mere inches from the street but Celeste doesn’t ease off the gas.“Focus on what you’re doing, Nia!” she yells. “You have to stop those cops from getting us or we’ll never reach Cassie!”As we speed around a tractor-trailer – the police car still hot on our tail – the van’s passenger door clips the side of the monstrous truck. The impact nearly jars my grip loose but it also slams the door closed and shoots me back into my seat. I barely have time to catch my breath and get over the shock of still being alive.“Will you stop messing around already?” Celeste barks at me.OTHER WORKS BY THE AUTHORKEEPER OF THE WATER TRILOGYBOOK ONE - DRINKING LIFEBOOK TWO - RECRUITSBOOK THREE - THE WATER QUEENS less
