A journey through haunted forests, through dreams and time.
A story of love, magic and the power of forgiveness.
A Tzanatzi outcast and an Einache shaman are on the trail of an ancient curse.
Will they save their people from destruction?

Excerpt from Curse of the Tahiéra by Wendy Gillissen
Prologue
Dead silence spanned the plain. They came with the failing of the
light. Their slender swords gleamed in the pale light of the moon.
light. Their slender swords gleamed in the pale light of the moon.
On the other side of the plain young, inexperienced hands clutched their swords, and old men held their breath. A dark horror crept over the battlefield and smothered everything in its path.
A dark figure stood at the top of the cliff. The wind lifted strands of
midnight hair. They floated about his head as if they had a life of their own.
He steadied himself and drew his sword. His voice was a whisper.

ReplyDeleteHope you liked the site!
This book sounds exciting and really what I love to read about. Thank you, Wendy, for listening to those who wish to tell a story and sharing it with us.
ReplyDeleteI love Wendy's perspective on nature and the spiritual realm and I would love to read this book and many of her others to come.
She must reside in the Netherlands (based on her email address, as it's not obvious in her about page) and she plays the beautiful celtic harp.
Thanks, APA, for this awesome opportunity!
