Eternity's Gamble
by V.J. Allison
Genre: Paranormal Horror Romance
Can
love beat the odds, or will the dice decide their fate?
Expecting
the usual entertainment at the local Nova Scotia exhibition, Charles
Hazard is less than impressed by the secluded corn maze his long-time
friend and secret crush, Tiffany, drags him to. The repulsive state
of decay, and the creepy dummy guarding the entrance of the maze have
Charles anxious to leave, but his sense of self-preservation wars
with his desire to make Tiffany happy.
Tiffany
Morrow doesn’t think much of the tarot card reading she had only
days before the annual exhibition, and has all but forgotten the
prophet’s words and how she drew the Death card when she comes
across a spooky corn maze. There’s only one person she wants to
explore the stalks with. She’s been in love with her best friend,
Charles, for as long as she can remember. His level head, introverted
tendencies, and unique ginger sexiness call to the most intimate
parts of her.
Their
fun quickly takes a dark turn when the maze morphs into a game of
life or death. From a quiet sunflower field, to a treacherous walk
across a volcano’s cone, to an encounter with a creature out of
horror legends, each roll of the dice forces them to work as a team
or perish in a way they most fear.
Amidst
the danger-filled labyrinth, they delight in small, stolen moments
and find the soul mate they have been searching for. However, as with
most games of chance performed at a devil’s will, there is more to
this sport than there appears. Could they really be the only ones
within the walls of their confines, or are other creatures
lurking?
In
a terrifying twist of fate, their chances at forever could be ripped
away from them by a single roll of the dice…
Victory
may linger out of reach, and a curse of eternal agony and loneliness
could be their fate. Or, just once, the dice might roll in their
favor. But what are the odds of that?
Eternity’s
