Hope Lost (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781958891797)

The council is made up of people, people of power for sure, but still people, making them subject to the vagaries of men. There occasionally arises dissent from within on how council should govern. Long ago a faction rose thinking people should not be allowed the freedom of choice, they should be kept in their place. There was at that time a people in Nova Scotia that was becoming powerful. Instead of reveling in the joy of their growth, some on the council persecuted them for it. Welania a council member at the time took it on herself to secretly move them to another world, hiding them to keep them safe.

Welania eventually rose to lead the council. Over a century later she saw it happening again, the desire to control, only this time was worse. The faction wishing to have dominion over the freedoms allowed the humans, had no compunction about the taking of lives to gain control of the council, and further their agenda. Welania would need help to keep the council and all life safe, she would turn to those she rescued so long ago. Though this fight would not be won easily, would not be without loss.
