COON RAPIDS, Minn., March 29, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Get ready to embark on an extraterrestrial adventure of a lifetime as Xlibris announced today the release of The Amulet, a captivating fantasy novel featuring the imagination of author M.M. Beryk.
The text tells the story of Julie Foxman, whose life made a turn for the worse. Extracted from her home in the snowy Minnesota woods and transplanted to a new, harsh life on the war-devastated desert world of Guidon, Julia soon comes face-to-face with a harrowing reality: her mother's cherished, harmless-looking pendant is also a powerful amulet that holds the key to a galactic catastrophe. As she approaches her dear friend Finnan and a wizard named Palmaris to destroy the talisman, Julie and her confidant fight through a series of deadly attacks from an evil wizard named Arraknis, and his cronies in their quest for the amulet.
As time passes, terror ravages the streets of The City of Three Moons with terrifying creatures hounding inhabitants to fits of panic. One by one, people randomly fall to a mysterious malady leading to insanity and death. With chaos spreading around so fast, will Julie and her confidant be able to survive from this nightmare? Only time can tell.

About the Author
Surrounded by her menagerie of glass animals and stacks of comic books, the author at a young age knew she was destined for something -- but what? After serving in the U.S. Navy on bases on the mainland and overseas, she returned to college to earn another degree. Instead, she was inspired to write -- more or less seriously. Not until she attended Anoka Tech and unloaded her cast of characters in projects inviting creativity, did she realize she might actually have a talent. She now lives in Coon Rapids, Minnesota.
