Journeys of Choice
(2016)(The second book in the Replacement Chronicles series)
A novel by Harper Swan
This volume contains parts two and three of The Replacement Chronicles.
In Journeys of Choice, we find Raven and Mark embarking on travels they can no longer avoid, crisscrossing the same ancient lands, although thousands of years apart.
Raven is again plagued by choices. She’s pregnant, but if she has the child, her unhappy fate is sealed whether the father is the departed Neanderthal or her band’s leader, Bear. When Raven’s original home band is decimated by a tragic accident, her old nemesis, Fern, turns up. Once more, Fern leaves Raven with no choice other than to leave her familiar life and search for a different one. Seeking the Neanderthal man she’d once helped and facing her fear of being alone on the steppes, she begins crossing that grassy land—but a woman like Raven isn’t fated to be alone for long.
Reluctant to leave his job in California, Mark eventually summons the will to help his mother collect an inheritance. His duties take him to the Levant, where he meets Antun, his cousin. Antun seems to be a great guy, but Mark can’t put aside his suspicions. In spite of his unease, Mark enjoys exploring old Neanderthal sites, until he finds himself in the clutches of a jihadist group bent on replacing all other beliefs with their own. At the cave where he’s held, he meets another captive, a woman whom he desires to save. Help arrives for them, flowing from an unexpected ancient source, igniting a struggle deep within Mark to accept that the illogical as well as the logical make up existence.
Genre: Thriller
