The Emerald Tablet - Softcover
The tale of The Emissary continues in The Emerald Tablet - Book II.
Authors Veitch & DeFazio have once again masterfully blended spirituality, fantasy, historical fiction, and adventure in the second installment of this unforgettable magical realism tale.
The Golden Age has ended and a time of darkness has descended upon the entire planet.
Our salvation rests with the reincarnated Emissaries as does the fate of the Emerald Tablet - a sacred object containing vital secrets of the Atitalan Elders and a tool with the power to open portals through time and space. The Adversaries seek to weaponize the coveted Tablet’s mystical powers and plunge the world into a never-ending Age of Darkness.
The race to find the Emerald Tablet stretches through the Ages—Ancient Greece, Mongolia, and World War II Europe—into present day. Unlike Theron, mortal enemies Marcus and Helghul both suffer the complications of having past-life memory. Through every incarnation they seek to possess her, and the ancient relic. Marcus is torn between his longing for his true love (or soulmate) and his sworn duty to protect the Tablet. Helghul is a tortured soul, cursed by a beast-like entity that is feeding on his every evil act and growing stronger within him, each darkening lifetime. How the battle is fought is a glimpse into our earth’s history and the lessons learned are the evolving nature of the soul.

Review:
BRONZE MEDAL AWARD WINNER - READERS FAVORITE BOOK AWARDS 2019!Kirkus Reviews- A sprawling epic sequel that mingles espionage, archeology, sci-fi, and New Age spiritualism.
The writing team of Veitch and DeFazio (The Emissary, 2018) continue the high-fantasy story they began in their previous book, in which the Elders of the otherworldly realm of Atitala send Emissaries into the mortal world, tasking them with preserving their ancient wisdom and shepherding humans to a planetary golden age... this sequel commences exactly where the last installment left off... As in the previous volume, Veitch and DeFazio energetically fill these pages with a large cast of players as rival forces seek to hasten or prevent a rapturous new era from dawning. Intriguingly, the real-life figure of Genghis Khan is one of the most compelling of these new characters, as is the fictional American humanitarian Oswald Zahn, a wealthy man who capitalizes on the world's chaos to position himself as a kind of dark savior. The authors' prose is propulsive throughout, and those who are familiar with the previous book in the series will find it engrossing...
A vivid and dramatic... fantasy about reincarnated lovers finding each other and working to save the world.
- 5 Star, Readers Favorite Reviewer - Charles RemingtonTamara Veitch and Rene DeFazio have produced a compelling narrative, full of intriguing concepts and insights, which moves at a brisk pace through a lucidly-imagined history. The ambitious theme is peopled with rounded, believable characters and pulls no punches in its descriptions of turbulent times. I enjoyed the story and was prompted by the list of references at the end to look further into the concept of the Great Year. I hope the authors will accept this as a compliment to their narrative skill. Well-written and researched - a sound, thought-provoking start to what I predict will be a successful series.
