The Sweet Sister

By C.David Belt

An ancient evil has returned out of the mists of time, and Peggy Carson must risk everything to protect her best friend, Derek. Peggy is smart, funny, geeky... and plain. And Derek has no clue how much she loves him.

Derek has discovered a series of old diaries, each written by the same young woman, and each spaced several decades apart—a period spanning centuries. He thinks he has found a time-traveling, fairytale princess—but a princess under an evil curse.

Derek is determined to break the curse, to rescue sweet, pretty Elaine from her sister—the evil, disfigured Morgaise. But where he sees fantasy and romantic adventure, Peggy sees horror and death. Soon the ancient evil begins to stalk Peggy. Even if she can save Derek, who will save her?

C.David Belt

C. David Belt was born in the wilds of Evanston, Wyoming. As a child, he lived and traveled extensively around the Far East. In Thailand, he once fed so many bananas to a monkey, the poor creature swore off bananas for life. He served as a missionary in South Korea and southern California (Korean-speaking), and yes, he loves kimchi. He graduated from Brigham Young University with a BS in Computer Science and a minor in Aerospace Studies, but he managed to bypass all English and writing classes. He served as a B-52 pilot in the US Air Force and as an Air Weapons Controller in the Washington Air National Guard and was deployed to locations so secret, his family still does not know where he risked life and limb (other than in an 192' wingspan aircraft flying 200' off the ground in mountainous terrain). When he is not writing, he has been known to sing in the Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square, and works as a software engineer. He collects swords, spears, and axes (oh, my!), and other medieval weapons and armor. He and his lovely wife have six children (and a growing number of grandchildren) and live in Utah with a cat that (as the family scape-cat) patiently and unashamedly takes the blame for everything in the household.C. David Belt is the author of The Children of Lilith trilogy, The Sweet Sister, Time’s Plague, The Arawn Prophecy, The Whole Armor of God, The Witch of White Lady Hollow, The Witch and the Devourer of Souls, and The Executioner of God.
