Publisher's Synopsis
At last, rain has fallen on the parched nation of Athaelkandalae, ending its life-threatening drought. More wondrous still, the miraculous event has come at the hands of Tage Lorradan, already hailed as the hero his people need to unite them against the Kastri invasion.To Tage, this miracle seems a confirmation of his status as the Sky-Father's chosen. But will added confidence and acclaim be enough to help him shoulder the dreadful burdens of his new station? The Shaman has called upon Tage and his friends-brave Genebryce, wounded Narger, brilliant Raefino, and dream-sharing Zea, the Shaman's own adopted daughter-to assist him in the Shamans' Great Work, leading humanity into an age of Reason.However, before enacting their vision for a better Athaelkandalae, the chosen ones must scour the land of dangerous Spirit-beings unleashed by Cybelle, the living Mother-Goddess of the Kastri-and only then if they can first survive the final test of their training. For just west of the Shaman's Sacred Hill, an ancient evil slumbers uneasily in its underground maze of madness... To pass their test, the young friends must dig that corruption out, or else drown in its insanity.Parts Four and Five continue The Shaman's Daughter, a visionary fantasy, and the first volume in The Cosmic Mystery Series.
