Fourteen-year-old Caden Roth of Savannah, Georgia, has known tragedy, including losing her adoptive mother to a senseless act of violence when she was an infant, to barely surviving a school shooting that took the life of her best friend. Despite it, she does her best to lead a normal life with her adoptive father, her friends, and the cute new boy in town Dez.
But nothing will ever be normal again when she meets her guardian angel Grey. He opens a door to the dystopian spirit world of Interitas, where angels and demons fight for lost souls, poltergeists are real, and ancient prophecies say she must fight an apocalyptic war between the living and the dead.
Pursued by monsters, both human and otherwise, Caden is confronted by a dark destiny and the mortal challenge of whether or not she can stop it from happening.
Perfect for fans of the Hunger Games and Divergent, Intertitas Volume 1: Beginning of Sorrows is written by award-winning playwright Rick Garman. It captivates readers with masterful storytelling that weaves a rich mythology into a real-world setting, where well-developed characters try to prove that destiny is not inevitable.
About the Author: Rick Garman grew up in Iowa and although he appreciated his solid Midwestern upbringing, he moved to Los Angeles as soon as he was old enough to be sure that his parents couldn't send a sheriff to bring him back. He studied theater at the prestigious American Academy of Dramatic Arts, but soon realized that acting was not his passion. Writing was.
He is an award-winning playwright with honors including the GLAAD Media Award for Outstanding Los Angeles Theater Production, a television writer with a TV movie in development, and a travel writer with more than a dozen guidebooks about Las Vegas including Frommer's, Las Vegas for Dummies, and Moon Handbooks.
Rick enjoys taking road trips to see colorful bits of Americana and counts Savannah, Georgia, as his favorite city in the world. In his spare time you'll probably find him on the couch binge-watching TV.
