Welcome to Promises Divined, a blog novel by Dora McAlpin.
Book I of The Promises Series, Promises Divined is the story of a tortured soul, the imprisoned spirit he loves, the fallen angel he detests, and the mortals unfortunate enough to be a part of it all.
Dream, but dare not hope to break the passages that bind;
Unspoken lie, cruel origin of Promises Divined.
Promises Divined tells the story of the eternal soul Adanata. He is the Keeper of the Spirit Walkers, a line of Cherokee men with supernatural powers dating back more than 5,000 years. The Spirit Walkers have a single mission–to journey to The Cavern of the Spirits and unlock The Spirit of Knowledge from the prison to which she’s been confined since the time of The Great Flood. More than a thousand men have died in the quest.
As the Nineteenth Century begins, the Spirit Walkers face new challenges as encroachment by Whites increasingly threatens their people and their homeland. Adanata recognizes an even bigger threat hurtling toward Earth from a place beyond the stars. Only The Spirit of Knowledge can save the planet–and time is running out.
Adanata has little faith in David McAllister of Early Sun Village, the current Spirit Walker and the most frustrating human to ever draw breath. But there is no time to make another. David must succeed or Earth will perish.
