The Lore of Lauder: Book One - Discovering the Lies

About this ebook
Paul is as much myth as he is man. He, along with a handful of others like him, walk among men but they are not men. They are immortals and they fancy themselves gods.
People, corporations, and nations are just pawns for them to manipulate in their own sinister game of chess. To what end, none may know.
Paul Lauder ruled over the New World – the Americas – and all the islands surrounding them. At his word nations grew and civilizations fell. Some prosper, some languish in poverty. While he, like his fellows, profit immensely from the successes and as well as the failures.
Worldly riches weren’t the only commodity these immortals require of us. As they are driven by their hunger for power, so also are they driven by their thirst for blood.
To appease his own conscience, Paul seeks his sustenance from the dregs of society – murderers, robbers, drug dealers and the like having no regard for the rule of law. But the world Paul has built for himself is about to be destroyed by blood from a different source.
When he discovers that he may have progeny borne of a marriage centuries ago, events are set in motion that will forever change the Ruler of the Americas. His descendants possess documents that, if made public, threaten to expose the shadow world of which he is a part.
Should Paul throw caution to the wind for the sake of meeting his great, great, granddaughter? Or is it better to play it safe, destroy the documents and continue life as he has for hundreds of years? Even if he did choose to bury his past and renounce his flesh and blood, what of the Third Blood that will most certainly change everything?
Born and raised in the Highlands of Scotland, he lived the life of a shepherd. He knew of the Lord William Naismythe that ruled over his village and the people that lived there. He didn’t know the truth about this man, as many in village did. The discovery of what William Naismythe was would come all too late.
Paul married Kathrine McInnis as a young man with hopes of having a family. He had no other desires than to live out his life as a shepherd. It was a happy life. He and his wife tried time after time to have children. She miscarried, or had infants that didn’t live pass the first week. He wouldn't give up hope.
It was the month of April, 1746. He was twenty years old. He was forced by Lord William to join Prince Charles Stuart at Culloden. Here a decisive battle was fought. It ended well for Britain but was a disaster for the Scottish Highlanders and the prince with poor judgment.
Young Paul was wounded and sure to die, but William found him. Lord William and Henry Clouitier, the dark lord of France bound his wounds and carried him to safety. It took months and much care to bring him back from the brink of death. Paul was told his village had been destroyed and the people that lived there including his family had all been murdered by the British.
Months later after his wounds had healed; he was brought into the world of the darkness in a ceremony of blood. The changes that took place in him would keep him young till the end of time as the world would know it. He became a murderer but so much more.
The year was 1998. He stumbled upon a website one evening that threw his world into chaos and his life into despair. He had family. He knew he should leave well enough alone, but he had to know more. He began chatting with them and was told of several diaries or journals written by the wife he had thought had died so long ago. They opened up a journey to his past. One that couldn't be closed.
This is the beginning of a series titled The Lore of Lauder.
From deaths door to a new life. Through trials and woes. He fights for his America, and his family.
Parker Burgess
Ann Parker Burgess is an American author whose books are designed to entertain and uplift. Originally from Memphis, TN, she currently resides with her husband in Olive Branch, MS. She has raised two sons and enjoys spending time with family. Of herself, she writes: "I think I was born with an imagination larger than some. I can remember as a kid inventing games to play, pretending and even making up songs to sing to myself. I was never alone it seems. I always had imaginary friends or real friends to play with. There were more boys in my neighborhood than girls. I often played cowboys, cops and robbers, and even sat in the dirt playing with cars with the boys. With the girls I played dolls and dress-up. Playing outside in the summer all day, riding bikes, walking to the neighborhood drug store to buy candy, coke floats, or ice cream sundaes helped me to develop in a well rounded, I suppose, individual. I was raised in a Christian home, taught to respect others, and love. I have tried to live my life in this manner. In this day it isn't easy, but I try. I try to incorporate these values in my stories and characters lives. I first began writing at the age of twelve. Being on the threshold of adulthood, I had to put away childish games, but I still had an active imagination. In seventh and eighth grades I wrote stories and passed them around to the girls in schools. Some of the boys even read them. I became known as the story teller and people couldn't wait to read the next chapter. In high school my best subjects were History and English. I also excelled in any term papers I had to write. My Senior English teacher encouraged me to go to college and study journalism. My parents sent me to learn office skills instead. All my life I wanted to write and it wasn't until 2000 that I began to seriously consider it as a career. Can I say that? I know few have heard of me, but watch out world. Ann Parker Burgess is here and she isn’t going away." Books she has written include: When Angels Cry and Guradian Angel. An upcoming sequel to these will be Angels over Texas. She is currently working on other projects: a series entitled the Lore of Lauder, another book entitled Julia, and Blossoms of the Heart which is one of her beta readers' favorites. Blossoms of the Heart should be finished and ready for release for the summer of 2019.
