What is “paradoxon?”

The Latin form of “paradox”: a tenet or proposition contrary to received opinion, or seemingly absurd, yet true in fact.

First in the “Paradoxon” series

Paradoxon: Invitation of the Dying Love

by Janice Buswell 

“Are you sure this is the journey you want to take?”

Rae fled from the edge of the city. She was late. Already the rumble of the nightly riot had begun. But as she ran, she had no idea it would be for the last time…

 Paradoxon: Invitation of the Dying Love is the story of a young woman named Rae, who was born in the stratified city of Onze, a city divided by physical boundaries and social status. For as long as Rae can remember, her life has revolved around the city’s terrifying nightly riots among the poorest of the poor. Lately, those riots have been getting worse.

 When Rae receives a mysterious invitation to leave Onze for a promise of training that will help overcome the violence, Rae finds herself thrown together with four other young people, all perfect strangers, who share a desire to see the city restored…and little else.

These five would-be companions discover that only the age-old paradox of the Dying Love can help them overcome their own vast divides and bring peace to their divided city. That is, if the mysterious threat that dogs their steps doesn’t unravel them before they even begin.

Paradoxon: Letters of the Dying Love

by Janice Buswell 

“I realize now it’s not so much a matter of choice…as of courage.”

Rae lay gasping in the dark. The mad horse that had thrown her…how far had it taken Traice? And Karyn and David…had they fared any better? Most important of all, can they still make it to Onze before the Magisterium reach their families?

Paradoxon: Letters of the Dying Love is the continued story of Rae and her friends. Bestowed with an unexpected guardianship over the city of Onze and trained in the ways of the Paradox’s Dying Love, Rae, Karyn, David, and Traice race home to rescue their families and begin a work of transformation in the troubled city. But when they arrive in Onze, a larger peril threatens to swallow the city whole in a matter of days.

Can their fledgling knowledge of the Paradox unite them to endure unimaginable strain and navigate the tangled web of mystery as they determine who they can trust—and whether that includes each other—to beat the impossible odds?
