world of magic and passion!
The Caitt priestess
waited for Nemu in the deepest shadows. She gestured for her to sit beside her
on a flat rock.
“You are one of the
Ancient Ones.” Her voice sounded hollow, ringing through the pines and into the
night.
“As are you.” Nemu
searched her eyes for the truth, but the priestess could mask her thoughts
well. “Why have you sent for me?”
The skinned wildcat head
draped over hers like a hood, the fangs flashing sharp and deadly like twin
crescent moons. The priestess’s eyes resembled a cat’s, unblinking and yellow
in the darkness.
“I did not send for you.
You came to me for an answer.”
A nighthawk screeched
nearby.
“You know about my
dreams.” Nemu swallowed hard.
“Do not follow the
raven. Follow the wolf. The wolf will show you the way.” The night devoured her
cryptic words.
“And I will know what
the dreams mean?”
“You will know who you
really are.” The gleam in her eyes softened, reflecting pity.
Nemu looked away for a
moment. She turned back to the priestess and found herself sitting alone, the
space beside her cold and empty.

Review Quote
“Heckart’s work offers beautiful poetic descriptions rich in
detail. Reading this book is a sensual pleasure. It is especially a joy to read
about the idyllic agrarian lifestyle and the sense of people’s connection to
the land, to the tribe, and to the spirit world. The richness of detail in
descriptions create a powerful aura that positively fills this world.”
