AMAYA'S LEGACY
Book One
"AN ALIEN AFFAIR"
An action-packed sci-fi tale of forbidden romance, legend, and cosmic intrigue reveals how a charismatic alien and a defiant human can restore independence to Earth – and save the Intergalactic Federation from a depraved enemy!
“I need a human to study, one free of our mind control.”
Zhan, alien director of Earth’s largest re-education centre, almost regrets that bright idea when Lee Barry crashes into his chest.
Terrified by the brainwashing of humans and furious at the invasion of Earth, Lee will do almost anything to free her planet. Worse, she hosts an energy symbiont probably planted by Zhan's enemies, a bloodthirsty species whose objective is domination of the Intergalactic Federation.
Meanwhile, Lee’s brother joins a resistance movement sworn to rid Earth of its alien overlords — starting with Zhan!
Passion flames, legendary symbionts ignite, and an ancient prophecy awakens as Zhan and Lee change from enemies to lovers. But can these fated mates survive resistance fighters, bloodthirsty priests, an oppressive government—and a war for the soul of humanity?
Two souls. One rebellion.
A love written in the stars, and in blood.

"A love story at Warp 9.9...
Amaya's Legacy reminds me of the breathtaking story of Avatar. A love story surrounded by the struggle to reject the invasion of OUR planet. Fast moving and strong characters bring to life a love story thousands of years old but revived and new again. I had a hard time putting the book down. Fiona weaves a story that is contemporary and one I would want to live in if the earth were invaded tomorrow. I cannot wait for the next volume.

Fiona Forbes,
Author
Welcome to my website! I'm a writer and illustrator, and the retired head of the Graphic Design Department in a design college on Vancouver Island.
I've lived in the Caribbean, England, Canada, and Costa Rica. Travelling is my favourite hobby...
I'm a die-hard Trekkie and a fan of movies and TV shows such as Star Wars, Avatar, Doctor Who, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Avatar, Guardians of the Galaxy, Lucifer, Good Omens, and Sandman. I also enjoy romance set against memorable events and exciting action, such as Diana Gabaldon's "Outlander" series. Now it's time to meet the Amaya's Legacy series!
Zhan walked into my head at four one morning, bringing all sorts of information about his universe with him. Zhan and Lee kidnapped the story and expanded it into a four-book series spiced with romance, intergalactic intrigue, action, and startling twists and turns.
Join them! Enjoy!
PS - Book Two in the Amaya's Legacy series is underway.
