Wind
A whirlwind adventure from Heaven to hell and back again! All LYTHINA GRAHAM wanted was some prophetic advice about her non-existent love life. But, when she left the comfort of her home in mythic Hyrendell Village to seek out the fabled Oracle of Meaden, she unknowingly set in motion a divine prophecy that would determine not only her own destiny, but the fate of her entire kingdom as well!
Lythina’s journey is cut short when she loses her mind inside an impenetrable bank of fog out to sea. Her heartbeat accelerates out of control and she quickly faints, falling into the icy ocean unconscious. The young lady awakens to find her spiritual life birthed by a vomit of salt water upon a mysterious island shore. As her strength gradually returns, Lythina learns that she has traveled through the gateway of fog to the Isle of Illumination, a place where half-dead souls meet to focus solely upon spiritual development, specializing in superhuman abilities. Within months, Lythina blossoms like never before. And though she falls in love with its immaculate serenity, she knows her time upon the Isle of Illumination is limited. Realizing she has a chance to travel back to Hyrendell to fulfill the foretold prophecy, Lythina reluctantly bids farewell to her newfound friends before braving the gateway of fog once more.
Once she returns back into the physical world, onto the shores of her beloved Hyrendell, all of her happiness disappears when she discovers that the tyrant King has declared her entire lineage traitors to the crown, immediately punishable by death. And they’re looking for her! Bolstering her resolution with the lessons learned upon the Isle of Illumination, Lythina Graham embarks upon an unbelievable journey that will bring her to the precipice of her destiny, the edges of her faith, and the ultimate resolution of a prophecy that began a thousand years before!

About the author
Daniel Mello
7 books3 followersOblivious to Daniel it was that those many little short, however terribly composed, stories he scribbled down as a child were actually the nascent wildflowers of creativity blossoming within his own meadow of tales! Over the years, Daniel’s writings, whether personal, academic, or purely for joy, have morphed along with his own identity, and have thus been a dependable avenue for introspection, and reflection against the world.
Daniel is an aspiring researcher and educator in psychology, a novelist, and a devotee of the natural world. He is endlessly inspired by the resonant theories of Carl Jung, and the ancient mystique of countless spiritual teachings from around the world. Yet, whenever an opportunity presents itself to escape the arid dunes of empirical prose, he willingly plunges into the dynamic sea of young adult fantasy fiction.
During the first few years of his academic career, Daniel was confronted with sporadic visions of a young lady trapped within the despotism of her native kingdom. He listened intently as she struggled with her own destiny, empathetic to the excitement within her spiritual exploration and her passion for expressive freedom. Before he knew it, Lythina Graham stole away his heart, fueling his inner muse to transcribe her amazing journey from Heaven to Hell and back again within his first full-length novel Wind. Today, the tribulations and triumphs of Lythina's quest continue to inspire Daniel's curiosity to investigate humanity's relationship with legend, archetypal energy, and the natural world. As such, he is urged onward to uncover just what awaits within Hyrendell's shadowed past, and unpredictable future!
