Magic and mountains
When young Robert Adams sees the statue of the Sun Singer in a lonely meadow, he experiences a powerful flow of energy that brings him the gift of prophecy. Knowledge of the future is exhillating: his friends even call him the Soothsayer of West Wood Street. Then the gift becomes deadly serious, and he tries to throw his cursed talent away.
In failing health, Grandfather Elliott sends Robert on a dangerous journey. The aging avatar has left old missions unfinished and lives are at stake. After stepping through a portal into look-alike world, Robert knows he must resurrect his dangerous gift to survive.
This hero's journey story takes readers deep into a hidden mountain world where time and space can be bent by an apple wood hiking staff--if one knows how to call forth its power. Robert must learn the secrets of the sun before his grandfather's friends are destroyed by the dark magic of the moon.
Not a small matter, but Robert hopes that in the process, he finds his way back home.
After Dryad haunts her from beyond the grave for three years, Sarabande undertakes a dangerous journey into the past– to either raise her cruel sister from the dead, ending the torment...or to take her place in the safe darkness of the earth.
Sarabande leaves the mountains of Montana for the cornfields of Illinois on a black horse to seek help from Robert Adams, the once powerful Sun Singer, in spite of Gem‘s prophecy of shame. Siobhan tries to help her with the gift of an enchanted Rowan staff...Danny tries to kill her alongside a deserted prairie road...Billy tries to save her with ancient wisdom... and Robert tries to send her away.
Even if Sarabande persuades Robert to bring the remnants of his magic to Dryad‘s shallow grave, the desperate man who follows them desires the staff for ill intent... and the malicious sister who awaits their arrival desires much more than a mere return to life.
Sarabande is a sequel to The Sun Singer, also a fantasy adventure from Vanilla Heart Publishing.
