Publisher's Synopsis
Tage Lorradan cannot stop his mind from returning to his haunting dreams of a mysterious and beautiful girl with red hair and green eyes. Why are his dreams of her so powerful and affecting? Is there a deeper meaning within them, besides their strangeness? Could the girl with red hair be more than just a dream? Vowing to discover the truth, young Tage is thrust into the centre of an ancient and deadly conflict between his own nation of Athaelkandalae, the self-righteous 'Light of the World, ' and the Kastri, the people of Cybelle, the Dark Goddess. Each side views the other as less than human...and yet, it is the inhuman among both cultures-monsters and legends, demons of light and demons of darkness-who will be instrumental in deciding the fate of all. So begins Part One of The Shaman's Daughter, a visionary fantasy, and the first volume in the Cosmic Mystery Series. Combining heroic quest with mystical exploration, subversive humour with sincere emotional depth, and the unfolding of archetypes with a subtle satirical critique, The Shaman's Daughter is an epic fantasy adventure that asks us the same question Tage is asked by a girl he has only met in dreams: "Are you awake?"
