When the butterfly-winged light being, Rainyun, descends from the Ephemerine Realm into the Density Domain to assist in shifting a planet into a more positive probability vector in a higher dimension, the young teenural girl, Eda, is swept into a fast-paced adventurous quest that involves strange planets in the past, an anti-particle universe, her reciprocal twin, her higher Consciousness Field and especially, trees. Join Eda as she discovers parts of herself in Realms, Domains, healing stations and flowers, whilst Rainyun guides her along, deftly dealing with motorbikes, duck pond portals, hotel bills, interplanetary travel, camping, an ancient yogi, canyons and supporting Matt in regaining his incarnational memory, all in her usual simultaneous multi-task style. Can they plant the seed before the planet runs out of its potrilion resources? Can the peace between the unitruvials and binurals be preserved? What will the magnificent Ephemerine Tree look like and what changes will it initiate on planet Artea?
A fun-filled but thoughtful fantasy book, incorporating New-Age, Law of One, Positive Thinking, Law of Attraction, Environmentalist, Hidden History and Quantum Physics ideas.
Ephemerine Tree has all the elements that young adults love in a fantasy novel - planets on the verge of destruction, portals through time and space, and an exciting world with its own inventive vocabulary. But it carries a message that any age reader will feel better after reading.
A being from a higher realm, Rainyun, comes down to the planet, Atrea, to help Eda find both her life mission and her life mate, Matt, who has been dematerialized (there's a lot of great quantum physics in the story) by scientists ruining the environment in search of fuel (sound familiar?). They find Matt in California, riding motorcycles, unaware of his true destiny until these two other-worldly beauties take him through tree portals, into healing stations to reactivate lost DNA, and more adventures, so he and Eda can plant a seed on Atrea to realign the planet with a better path.
Throughout the book, I loved being reminded of what the author calls Newton's Law of Motion: For every action there is an increased but similar action. So, focus on what you want, not on what you don't want, because you'll get more of what you focus on. The New Age concepts of creative visualization, manifestation, the components of love, and reconnecting to higher consciousness are all included in the plot, which moves along quickly to a very satisfying conclusion. I'm still smiling, imagining that our planet can also be saved.
A book with a difference! Filled with adventure, love, light and laughter, plus a touch of mystery. An ideal gift for your New Age teenager. Very different from the normal type of fantasy book...the world view is fascinating and characters can link through time with other simultaneous incarnations. There are two more books coming in this series, and I'll definitely read them too. The language quality and style is pretty good for a new Indie author. It is amazing how she uses absolutely no violence, killing or fighting, yet writes a gripping fantasy novel that makes you want more...
