Product Description
This fast-paced and psychologically intense novella throws a spotlight onto some of the characters of the full-length novel series, RHUNA: A Quest for Ancient Wisdom.
Yarqi believes she has finally found true enlightenment when she joins the Order of Pure Power, and she is thrilled when The Master himself approves of her progress in summoning visions, creating illusions and performing an act of Sympathetic magic that nearly kills a man. Despite her fast rise in the ranks of the Order, Yarqi is plagued by self-doubt and reminders of the secret traditions of her mother’s people.
The beautiful, open city of happy people changes drastically as mysterious and powerful people called The Conjurers cause frightening illusions to scare people out of their homes, while rumours persist of another group of people causing mysterious deaths. Yarqi is so engrossed in her own activities and saving a young woman from an abusive relationship that she fails to see the danger all around her.
Only the supernatural help of an old friend can save Yarqi from completely succumbing to The Master’s devious plan, but they must first escape a city conquered by the Conjurers.
