Journey to Landaran: Book One of the Spirit Mage Saga (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780615917474)

Aidah and her twin brother Tavish have always had a knack for getting into trouble. From pie stealing and pranks to hunting for magical creatures, they have always escaped notice in their tiny mountain village. Until now. Aidah begins seeing visions through her brother's eyes. He's a Firestarter, gifted with the Talent to control light and heat, destined to become a Sun Mage in the great city of Landaran. But he doesn't want to leave without his sister. As storm clouds gather, Aidah dreams of a beautiful man, a frightening man, calling to her. She fears the truth. That she may be developing a Talent of her own, one that will change their lives forever. The power to read minds. To possess bodies. To travel inside dreams. In the world of Ernid, Spirit is the ultimate power. Nations will go to war over them. **Warnings for mature themes. Review by D. Donovan of Midwest Book Reviews: "Mature young adults will find this no simple saga: it's permeated with the hearts and minds of some who are good and some who are evil. From deaths that need avenging to inner struggles to find courage against all odds, Journey To Landaran is as much about the hunt for personal bravery as it is about handling outside forces, spreading darkness, and strange new powers. The focus is on Aidah, in particular, and her growth and perspectives fuels an already-volatile story of powerful twins who go out into the world to seek their destiny. As the two become immersed in events that preclude war, Journey To Landaran also is about developing social and political savvy in a changing world - and while its conclusion is open-ended, suffice it to say that great changes take place between the story's opening and its conclusion. Keep in mind this is Book 1: as such, look for more great things as Aidah and her brother find their talents affecting a world-changing battle.
