Shasta Beckons

I stand alone, one of four,

United, the four will be one.

The torch you carry provides the flame.

The world awaits your Fire!

The Cererian Prophecy reveals more of its secrets in Shasta Beckons, book 3 in the magical realism series Chronicle of Ceres.

The sorceress, Hilly, seeks the advice of her earth mother, Denali, so she can quiet the voices of the thousand souls who now inhabit her body--the unfortunate result of killing the evil Yfel soldier, Everild. A blue opal quiets the screams but the spirits still struggle to escape their human prison.

Hilly is re-united with her sister, Fen, and brother, Kai. The siblings combine their supernatural powers to decipher the symbols carved into a powerful earth spirit, the Sentinel Boulder. Through magic, alchemy and ritual, the Crystal of Fire is successfully seated in the first receptacle; and magicians around the globe celebrate the completion of the first spoke in the Prophecy wheel. Only three remain.

Kai travels to Mount Shasta to begin his quest. The powerful shaman, Jake, and Hilly accompany him as Kai endures three difficult tests before he can penetrate Shasta's veil to enter an extraordinary dimension where supernatural entities welcome him as their Champion.

Success comes at a great price; and Kai must make a decision that will change his life forever.
