About Thornfalcon (The ARC Legacy Book 1) by Matthew Harrill:
A scion of legends. The future of an organisation. Or an outcast and a pariah?Samantha Scott is at odds with her family. The focus of a cult of hundreds, she seeks solace in the attention she never found from her mother, her small acts of rebellion a frustration for an organisation that has seen peace settle over the earth.Yet something festers in the world. Undefinable, gnawing at the edge of religion. Why does humanity feel so alone? Why are more and more people turning away from the Church? And what does a mysterious group of terrorists calling themselves ‘Aeon Fall’ have to do with it all?Join Samantha as she crosses continents, unable to avoid the machinations of Anges de la Resurréction des Chevaliers (ARC), a reluctant pawn yet a key figure as she seeks to find clues to the memory of a man who saved her life, a man who takes her right to the very limit of her skills and understanding.

Author Bio:
Horror Author Matthew W Harrill was born in Bristol in May 1976, during what was referred to in the United Kingdom as ‘that long hot summer’. Growing up in the town of Yate, he lived with his parents, sister and numerous pets, attending ‘The Ridge Junior School’.
At age 11, he was lucky enough to gain a place at Bristol Grammar School, a respected establishment in the city for over 450 years. Following the conclusion of his schooling, and picking up A-levels in Biology, Geography and Economics, he attended the University of Southampton where he received a 2:1 Honours Degree in Geology following three years study.
Matt has had various jobs over the years. Barkeep, labourer, cleaner, commercial motor insurer. The jobs that have become most important were the simple shop floor assistant at Tesco, since it is where he met his partner of 20 years (and wife of 11) Tricia, and the current job at Xerox where he has been implementing stock option and share plans for over a decade. The latter has allowed the bills to be paid so that he can write.
The writing began with a short story in 1999 that expanded continuously until it took on a life of its own and became ‘The Focus Stone’, book 1 of an Epic Fantasy series entitled ‘The Tome of Law’. A second book, ‘The Path of Dreams’ was completed and released, and then for various reasons, came a break in writing with the third installment ‘The Pages of Consequence’ only half finished (and set to remain so unless his publisher REALLY pesters him).
