The stakes are on a knife’s edge. Can this fated duo make the right choice to end a millennia-old conflict?
Ophelia Banner is heartbroken. Her best friend is dead, but she needs to get her act together and support the staging of the summit and the uniting of the Pai Ona. And despite being warned not to reveal the true extent of her powers, she finds the watchful eyes of strangers difficult to avoid.
Elias Kraus carries the weight of the world on his shoulders. If the Trials are successful, he and his allies can finally bring an end to the war. Alerted to possible traitors in the group and with the Oracle needed for the event to succeed missing, Elias fears they’re racing headlong into a catastrophe.
As Ophelia does her best to survive challenges that would have killed lesser beings, she can’t shake an ethereal voice haunting her from the depths. And just when Elias assembles the last piece of the puzzle, he’s shocked to discover terrifying secrets behind Ophelia’s growing abilities.
Will the beleaguered pair fend off an ancient foe before the tide of battle irreversibly shifts towards evil?

I was born in Paradise, California. That’s in the north for those of you unfamiliar with California geography. I was a voracious reader by the age of eight. I loved disappearing into a book. In many ways I found reading to be my sanctuary during a childhood that was not all so simple or happy. Tragedy struck our family early on, first with my father’s death when I was seven and then my step father’s death at eleven.
When a lot of things seemed uncertain, my imagination was a constant.
Consequently, when I wasn’t reading, I was writing. I was just digging through old boxes where I found several short stories I had written in elementary school. It was great to be reminded how integral writing has been in my life.
Fast forward to my twenties. I had set aside my pen and paper for a business. I had built a thriving massage practice but was in need of some serious TLC. So, I took off on a wild adventure—backpacking across Europe. This trip would change my life in many ways, but obviously it had a great deal to do with getting me here. Indeed, while traveling on a train, my imagination intoxicated with historical facts and architecture, The Conduit Chronicles began to dance around in my head. The story started out fuzzy and sparse but after the three months of travel drew to a close, I knew the Conduit world well.
I came home, bought a laptop and started getting the story down on paper. Then life happened and from then until now it would take me seven years to publish the first book, Found.
The good news is the second book only took me seven months and I intend to finish the series along with a few novellas by the end of 2021.
So where did all this writing mojo come from?I guess once you open Pandora's box, there's no turning back. I still massage and run a full-time business, but with the right support I make time for my dreams as well.

Rebekah Liddle wrote a positive review. It might be worth reading. I read this book more than a year ago and remember nothing about the story. I will go along with other reviewers on the book.
If I seem a bit detached, see my review of "Dark Horse", a fun story by Diener or Powers of the Earth (a sorry book) and comments from a Claes Rees, Jr/cgr710 (a self-identified NeoNazi). Among other things, he claimed to speak for all Goodreads members, all english speakers, all americans (Nazi so I imagine not people of color or women but him being american and american racists being as they are, who knows), he was not clear on that point.
GLORY TO UKRAINE !!!!
The streaming services deliver science fiction that is more entertaining and better written than low effort print. This is not a judgement on this book but more of a general comment on Amazon's catalogue. Netflix has a good multilingual selection which is a treat and probably the largest library.
Curiosity Stream/Nebula provides a growing collection of educational video. It is worth a look, especially as a yearly subscription costs only $15 USD.
I was done with Goodreads, before the madness around the Claes Rees and his friends. I had moved to YouTube book channels by 18 months before. For my thoughtful readers' community, I turn to YouTube. It also provides channels for all my other interest areas and some favorites are.

A phenomenal book series! Once you begin this epic journey, you will not want it to end.
These books are captivating, graphically enticing, and psychologically titillating. The author keeps you at the edge of your seat from beginning to end. I cannot say enough good things about this series! Do yourself a favor, immerse yourself in the conduit Chronicles.
