The Avant Champion ~Ashes~

Book excerpt: Book 3 in The Avant Champion Series will thrill readers with new adventure, new characters, and new challenges. A deadly plague threatens apocalyptic level devastation. Abigail Cross tries to live a "normal" life as a wife, mother, and chemistry professor, but destiny always intervenes. A crisis sends Abigail as The Avant Champion on her most time-sensitive quest. As the Omega Plague claims lives across the world, Abigail embarks on a journey with her friend, Baird Fox, and the Captain of Guard, Coco DeFay. They travel to Kovia in search of components for a magical cure, but the quest is fraught with danger ... armed thieves, magical geysers, a man-eating octopus, and a deadly cave. Can Abigail assemble the pieces for the cure before time runs out? “I was blown away, as always. Although epic fantasy, I could relate to the main character in a way that I usually can’t. A mother, a hero, a teacher; she is more than anyone person can handle gracefully and yet she rises above everything. Even at the cost of her own happiness. Exciting, intriguing, heartbreaking. The best in the series so far. I only hope there is more yet to come!” —Author H.M. Gooden
