Point of Origin
“Readers who were enticed by the first volume will gobble this one up and probably mark their 2013 calendars with reminders to order volume three. It’s that addictive, and, thankfully, also worth the effort.”
“Amanda Havard spins a rich story that’s rooted in history, but teeming with all our favorite myths and legends. The Survivors: Point of Origin is a wild ride, beautifully written and wonderfully told.”
"Filled with colorful characters, romance, and a fascinatingly rich mythology, Point of Origin is one heck of a read! I couldn't put it down and now I'm left wanting, no, needing the third book! If you haven't started this series, do so immediately! Once you start, you won't want to stop." - DJ DeSmyter, author of Hunted
"The book you're holding in your hands is chock-full of the Good Stuff. Don't waste any more time reading this blurb; head directly to the checkout, do not pass Go, and start reading the stuff between the covers immediately." - Rodger Nichols, Haystack Broadcasting
