From the first page, the reader is thrust into Dakarai’s high anxiety, speechless world. The entire novel moves at a thrilling neck breaking speed. Even when The Coterie Declaration ends the reader know it’s not over.

Author Bio
Richard C. McClain II, "The Storyteller"—an advocate of imagination and a deliverer of truth through creative writing. Born in Kansas City, Missouri, Richard is one of five children who was taught to dream and believe that anything is possible. This thought premise inspired Richard to pursue the creative arts through music, theatre and writing. Richard later became a pastor, where from the pulpit he used his storytelling abilities to bring the word to life in the hearts of the congregation. Richard is the husband of Sharon, and father of Nicholas, Nicola, Nathan, Natalie, and Nadia. He has had the privilege of honing his storytelling craft and understands the balance between imagination, fantasy, and real life.
"Consider this, before the story is ever heard, it is active, pulsating, and full of passion. It needs but the storyteller to tell it."
