CARRIE F. SHEPHERD
The Scribing of Ishitar
When the world was young man believed in a kingdom of Gods and Goddesses who protected and ruled them. One by one these Deities fell as man, with his various religions, began to believe in a single God.
The Scribing of Ishitar chronicles the war among the Gods and Goddesses and the struggles that they face to dethrone their King as man’s free will begins to overrule fate and proclamation.
Who, among them all will, ultimately, stand alone?

​
Ishitar is born on the cusp of a great war between the two ruling Gods of the Heavens and Hells Realms. With his father in control of a repressive society and his mother fighting for free will for all, he believes the game that they play to be just that: a game. Little does he know that the players that he sees are not necessarily the ones who will influence the outcome.
Fall From Grace was a Finalst in the Fantasy Catagory of the 2012 Book of the Year Awards with Foreword Reviews.
"A unique and enjoyable story of mortals, angels, demons and more . . . Fall From Grace certainly delivers a new take on an epic tale of good versus evil." - Amy Lignor: The Feathered Quill
Ashes to Ashes
ISBN-13-978-1484198605
​
Exiled from the Sixty Realms at the end of the Second Revolution, Iykva, one of the demons sent to propagate a new mortal race, longs for equality between his people and those of the exiled angels. Believing the key to this equality lies within the blood of his enemy, he strikes war on the first born of the race of the elves.
Caught up in his parents' game to claim the ultimate power, Ishitar dismisses this mortal war as unimportant to his strategy of placing his own pawn upon his father's throne.
Will the cost that he eventually pays for his ignorance be worth what little advantage he has gained on the kings' board?
"As hellish webs and divine puzzles intertwine, readers will once again find themselves taken on a ride of mythical proportions that has this particular reader practically panting for Volume #3." Amy Lignor -- The Feathered Quill.
