After being cut off from the city, Liam finds that there is an alien intelligence behind the chitin. To defeat it, he must discover who he is and how to use his powers. Then, Liam discovers that a traitor, responsible for his birth parents’deaths, had murdered his beloved foster parents.

              Excerpt 

Liam! What have you done!

Liam!

Marcus was in front of him. Liam stopped, confused.

What have you done? Marcus demanded.

Liam’s control faltered. “I’m sorry!” He wept.

You know our teachings on revenge, Marcus said sternly. Licinious will die in agony.

Suddenly, irrationally angry, Liam straightened. “How can you defend him after what he did? To you, to Mom, to my birth parents, to everyone we cared about?”

I’m not defending him, Marcus said quietly, but how does that make it right?

With a howl of despair and emotional agony, Liam dashed forward through the shade of his father, blindly running into the sewers.

Review Snippets:

“Kurt Springs takes us through an action-filled adventure of villains and monsters, of kindness and redemption, and searches the human soul for motives that transcend our tendency toward ‘getting even.’Does vengeance carry a price? Does it always carry a price?”

“This is an exhilarating story, full of action and adventure, and with no assurance that everything will turn out all right, even into the very last battle. Once started, this book is hard to put down. You will want to add this book to your library so you can read it again and again.”  --Patricia Scholes

“It was a very well written book, with enough interesting characters, as well as a Bear-lizard who can communicate telepathically, to keep everything interesting. I loved the dreamscape where Liam meets Jarek and finds out about who he is, and all about his family. The plot was very well written with enough betrayals, twists and turns to keep you turning the pages.”

“Overall a very well written book. One I feel all Sci-fi and fantasy/paranormal readers will enjoy.” --Aoife Marie Sheridan

“I have to be honest... I was completely blown away by this book. Normally I don't read novels of this genre but Mr. Springs work has me rethinking my choices. The characters were impressively easy to relate too and the storyline keeps you captivated through the entire novel.”--A.C. Heller

“I rarely read sci-fi owing to a “technical detail” fatigue, but the prologue of this wonderful book started with the character dynamic, not an elaborate sci-fi world. I HAD to care. I had to know what was going to happen to my poor characters. 

“The author doesn’t bog the reader down with the technical aspects and the story is action focused. I would definitely read more from this author.”--Crystal Collier

“Move over ‘Star Wars’! ‘Prince of Vengeance’ by Kurt D. Springs is Published!”--LuAnn Worley Rockin’ Book Reviews
