The Infinity Mantle (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781511473217)

Elaina is a galactic and universal traveller and dreamer. When writing she puts into words her travels and dreams, because she believes there is inspiration in even the most outrageous tale. Born in South Africa, she grew up in the magical city and surrounds of Cape Town. After studying Purchasing Management and working in the formal sector as a buyer, she chose to raise and home-school her children. She started writing novels around 2002, moving from children's stories, poetry and short stories to concentrate on larger works. She lived with her family for some time in Ireland and subsequently in New Zealand. Returned now to South Africa, she realises the vibrancy of Africa has much to do with the inspirational side of her work. Something happens daily, something to shock, something to uplift ... and the colours and diversity of nature itself fires the imagination. The Infinity Mantle is the first LORE volume and is about Rayne being gathered to become something greater than he initially suspects. His journey starts as an unwilling sorcerer forced into action by the manipulations of an ancient enemy. How did Rayne's journey come to light? It happened when Elaina paged through a book on Alchemy, a dictionary of terms. While she wishes she could remember the author, to thank her for the proverbial light bulb moment, she recalls the fourteen steps to alchemical perfection listed that started LORE's creative process. To further add impetus to creativity, Elaina had a dream before said light bulb moment and she was convinced, upon waking, she possessed those volumes penned while upon a dream mission ... she simply had to find them ... or write them. And thus the journey began and continues with the support of her family. Come with her and share a vision.
