Darshan the God Slayer

~ Moriah Jane ~ Leave a comment

What if obeying twisted rules is the only option? Good thing Darshan is a cheeky brat.

Darshan is many things: a thief, a street urchin, and a proud nuisance to the city guards, but he is no fool. Well, usually he’s not. After the daring rescue of a new street urchin goes wrong, Darshan is arrested and taken to the last place he expected: the Arena.

Utilizing his skills as a thief, Darshan must learn to fight against beasts and warriors, entertain a cruel crowd, and search for a way to regain his freedom—all while trying to maintain his morals within a place full of twisted ideologies.

But the arena master leaves no room for different opinions. If Darshan doesn’t play by the rules, then his mother and friends will be thrown into the Arena. Will he risk failure by following his own rules or secure victory by committing brutal deeds that will haunt him forever?

Darshan the God Slayer is an alternative Biblical history depicting what the world may have been like before God’s global flood. Experience a historical period we know little about and understand why the Biblical flood was necessary as told through the eyes of a thirteen-year-old.

“The pounding in my chest clogs my ears. I can only explain the sensation like this: the warrior and I have stepped into our own world, and it’s a horrible place because it’s just him and me, a killer and a victim. We have a mutual understanding that one of us is going to die, and it’s probably going to be me.”

Experience the adventures of Darshan, a young boy with a cautious demeanor, a penchant for trouble, and—let’s face it—a little too much sass.

“The warrior and I have stepped into our own world, and it’s a horrible place because it’s just him and me, a killer and a victim—a place with a mutual understanding that one of us is going to die, and it’s probably going to be me.”

*The above cover is a place-holder for the official design.

An alternative historical fiction based in the pre-flood era! Darshan the god Slayer will follow the misadventures of a boy named Darshan who has an impossible task thrust onto his shoulders. Betrayal, heart-pounding action, and no shortage of humor envelope an epic tale of refusing to give in to the pressures of the world.

Moriah Jane strives to fill bookshelves with clean, high quality, and immersive stories for young adult and middle-grade readers. Ever since she was old enough to hold a Barbie in her hand, Jane has been creating fantastical adventures ranging from magical fantasies to thrilling science fiction. As a notoriously picky reader, Jane struggled to find what she wanted to read as a child, so she set out to fill bookshelves with the tales permeating her wildest dreams.

Hailing from the historic Pennsylvania woods (though she lives elsewhere now), it’s no surprise that Jane’s favorite fantasy genres include: gaslamp, court intrigue, and fae. Her passion for the 1800s-1900s is evident in her adoration of blazers, frocks, vests, and elegant coats. She can often be found wearing any one or a combination of the four. Her most notable gaslamp stories are Rogue (Vampiric Red #1) and Elias Edwards: Vampire Slayer. Although she does not currently have titles featuring court intrigue or fae, Jane fully intends to saturate that market soon.

Perhaps one of the more surprising genres Jane thoroughly enjoys and delves deep into is Dystopia and Asian Fiction. She has penned two dystopia short stories and one samurai novella. Her fascination with abandoned places fuels her interest in dystopian tales, and she is certainly pleased to not live in one. Jane’s unending love of Asian fiction stems from her admiration of Japanese culture. An avid otaku and Japanophile, Jane simply cannot live without researching, writing, reading, and studying the beauty of Japan. She is also the co-creator of Finding God in Anime: A Devotional for Otakus, a Christian anthology encouraging those in the faith to share about how they have encountered Godly attributes in Japanese animation.

Jane hopes to encourage writers and readers both young and old not only through her stories but through her personal life journey. Diagnosed with a processing disorder and short-term memory loss, few believed Jane could follow her dreams to become an author. Prayer and no shortage of grueling work has brought Jane to her first goal of authorhood. She hopes to encourage others to overcome their troubles and follow their aspirations.

Finding God in Anime (#1)

Click here for your free e-book!

I am pleased to announce my first devotional! Together with Laura A. Grace, we have pulled together a devotional especially designed for anime lovers. Finding God in Anime features short devotionals by numerous authors!

Fans are saying it’s:

“Inspiring…whether you’ve watched hundreds of anime or not.” ~ Goodreads reviewer

“An immediate buy.” ~ Amazon reviewer

“…[A] beautiful and inspiring devotional…” ~ Goodreads reviewer

So what’s it about?

Being a Christian can be tough. Being an otaku can be tough. But being both at once?

Sometimes it seems easier to become Hokage rather than explaining your faith and passions to others. That is why we otaku have united in this devotional: To encourage otaku like you spiritually and through a medium we all cherish.

In this devotional, you will find God in the animes you know and love. Each devotional presents spiritual lessons found in animes ranging from the world-famous Attack on Titan to fan-favorite Haikyu!! to beloved classics like Cowboy Bebop. Each piece will feature a different theme such as:

  • Human Will vs. The Holy Spirit in Yona of the Dawn
  • Choosing to be Free in Free! Swim Club
  • Not by My Might in My Hero Academia

…and many others! We believe that God can be seen throughout His creation—even in places where people might not intend! So pull out your cosplay and snuggle close with your plushies as you join us in Finding God in Anime.

Rogue (Vampiric Red, #1)

~ Moriah Jane ~ 2 Comments

He is Beautiful.

He is terrifying.

He is going to kill her.

Synopsis:

“He leans in, his face vivid and clear. The soft and transparent hairs on his flawlessly smooth cheeks and the individual strands of his light-blond locks cascading from behind his ear as they come untucked are repulsing and lovely at the same time. And up closer, his icy eyes—every shade of blue imaginable—shimmer around slit-like pupils. Then pain plunges muscle deep into her neck.

He is beautiful.

He is terrifying.

He is going to kill her.”

Willow is a vampire hunter with one problem: she’s fascinated by the creatures that murdered her mom. As much as she hates the bloodsuckers, she can’t help but be intrigued by their way of life— a culture unseen to the human eye for centuries. She is determined to train further as a vampire hunter to understand the world and creatures her mom was lost to.

But when her first mission goes terribly wrong, she is captured and nearly killed by a vampire. Rescued by Hanas, the vampire lord neighboring her town, Willow is forced to ally herself with him in order to hunt down her new enemy. But Hanas seems to be hiding something, and Willow wonders if she can actually trust him.

For better or worse, she must learn how to interact with vampires or face the consequences of letting her enemy run rampant.

The revamped edition of an exciting urban fantasy that readers are sinking their fangs into. Rogue (Vampiric Red, #1) includes thrilling new scenes, characters, and adventures previously unseen! This edition also includes a map of Maine and the vampire provinces drawn by Moriah Jane. See what readers are raving about!

I was inspired to write this story after discovering a lack of clean vampire novels. I find vampires to be fascinating creatures but are often depicted in steamy romance or grotesque thrillers. I wanted a middle ground. So I bring to you Rogue! It’s all the action, all the attractive vampires, and all the interesting tid-bits on a vampiric culture with none of romance or crude content.

I look forward to sharing this tale of action, angst, and fantastical culture with you soon!
