Summary
ENTER THE WORLD OF TAREN! **Science fiction and fantasy come together in a single, sweeping epic adventure!** In the tradition of The Lord of the Rings (with a touch of Dune) comes a tale that will catapult the reader to Taren. There, a robed army of mages carry out the dark wishes of the ruling sorcerer, Nephredom, whose fearsome power is matched only by his madness. Nephredom holds the key to the enchanted Gate, a barrier that imprisons horrible creatures known only in the myths of Tareners, as the "beasts." Nephredom, for his own reasons, intends to open the Gate and thereby unleash untold suffering upon the land. **Into this world of magic and treachery comes an outsider!** Following a bizarre lightning storm, college student Rayna Powell finds herself alone in Taren. Trapped in this strange land where danger and death lurk behind every corner, Rayna sees magic everywhere—even her own wristwatch now glows with unknown energies. She is a student of science and logic, but what she witnesses in Taren defies them both. She reluctantly joins forces with a mysterious woman with a bounty on her head, who—in exchange for Rayna’s help—promises to help Rayna in her quest to return home. WHAT MAKES THIS BOOK UNIQUE? Rayna of Nightwind is an exciting fantasy with a great science fiction twist—appealing to both science fiction and fantasy readers. The author paints the magical world of Taren with a vivid brush—a fun, exciting tale of suspense and drama—stuffed full of plot twists, and sprinkled generously with humor. The novel follows the adventures of a strong-willed, modern-day heroine who finds herself in an unfamiliar land, caught in the middle of political strife and factional wars as she comes to terms with the chaotic power growing inside her.
