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 enjoyed 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 12 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 enjoy 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 12 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 available on my website jlmartinauthor.com and leading online platforms and bookstores.

This prequel novella, That Fated Night, is my gift to you.
