The First Male

Romance Erotica Sensual

THE FIRST MALE born of the first born Thibodeaux male had been prophesied to become the destroyer of worlds.

Simon Cassel had been born that male but he did not know his history. He only knows he was an orphan, in and out of foster homes and the reason he was in and out is because he is different. But now he is twenty, has Brooke, a woman who loves him and life is good. So why can't he sleep and when he does why does he dream of shadows and snakes?

Adelaide Thibodeaux, the Priestess Supreme of the Sisters- clan has a sworn duty to protect the world. Even from THE FIRST MALE, and even if that male is her own grandchild. Soon after his birth she uses a spell to hide him and tries to escape with him through a portal, he makes it out but she does not. Now with the approach of his twenty-first birthday, the spell is weakening and the shadows are beginning to change him. It is time for him to face his fate.

Unknown to Simon, as most things are, he was the first born but he has a brother Eli and his mother Rebecca, who has been searching for him as well as for the sisters of Adelaide. They search for Simon to fulfill the prophecy and for the sisters to remove their magic and weaken Adelaide.

The time comes when Simon must decide to embrace his fate or protect those he loves.

THE FIRST MALE is an intriguing concept for a different kind of fantasy book and an amazing first from the author. As each page is turned the mystery of Simon is exposed as well as the world he comes from and the dilemma he must soon face. If readers are looking for the typical "happy ending" they won't find it here, but they will quickly understand why the writer ended the story the way he has to.

SUMMARY

The first male born of the first born Thibodeaux male has been prophesied to become the destroyer of worlds. Adelaide Thibodeaux, the Priestess Supreme of the Sister-Clan, has a sworn duty to protect the world, even against her own flesh and blood. Her powerful magic has kept the first male—her grandchild—hidden from everyone, including herself. A spell she cast at his birth binds his power, but as he nears his twenty-first birthday and The Ascension, her spell is on the verge of collapsing; if it breaks, nothing will prevent him from assuming his full powers. With the maturation of his strength, Adelaide fears he will usher in a new world order through fire and blood, as foretold centuries ago. In a deadly race against the forces of the Shadows, Adelaide must find and protect the first male from his own destiny.

Simon Cassel has always been different. At a very young age, he learned to hide his extraordinary abilities and to ignore the preternatural events that surrounded him. Now, as his twenty-first birthday approaches, he can no longer ignore the supernatural changes that have turned his world upside down. He knows that he is changing, becoming something else. Dreams of serpents and living shadows plague him; voices and whispers call out to him from the depths of darkness; an old woman haunts him, reaching out to him from another place. Craved by the Shadows and feared by the Light, Simon’s world will never be the same as he becomes THE FIRST MALE.
