Samsara- The First Season

That Fated Night is a short prequel novella outlining exactly what happened on that night in 1875, when Abigail was abandoned at Emiliani House in Scotland. I wrote it as a heartfelt thank you to those who have read everything in this series and still wanted more.

Samsara’—meaning reincarnation—was written as one enormous novel of 1.6 million words and spans from 1890 to 1968. I have broken the first series up into twelve separate novels, becoming a serial rather than a series. These are not stand-alone books with a start, middle and end. Instead, the story flows continuously from book to book—spanning an entire lifetime. I highly recommend that you read them in order.

This epic series was first available on Wattpad from 2016 to 2019 as The Golden Glow Chronicles, and for a brief time on Amazon. Since then, the story continued to develop as Volume Two (1790-1875) Volume Three (1968-2063) and Volume Four (2063-3000 and beyond) were written, each containing up to 12 books per season. As a result, all twelve novels in Volume One have been rewritten and published as Samsara- The First Season in December 2021.

The first BIG book in the series, The Golden Glow, is free as an ebook to all my readers and is available to buy in paperback and audiobook from my website, jlmartinauthor.com and leading online platforms and bookstores.

This prequel novella, That Fated Night, is my gift to you. It is available (eBook) only from my website when you sign up for my newsletter or online platforms for the free audiobook. Also available for purchase in paperback as a bonus to add to your bookshelf next to Samsara for those like me who like to hold a physical book in your hand.
