| SEVENTH SHAMAN |
|||
Coming Soon...
When teenage Akuleh's abusive stepmother blames him for the deaths of his father and a brother, he flees his shamanic society on a violent world called Tempest and lies about his age to join the military. He hopes the destiny he believes was imposed on him at his birth, of becoming the death-god Machitew, will impact only the enemy, not people he cares for.
Through the Seventh Shaman series, Akuleh (aka Ku) braves the galaxy's meanest instructor pilot, endures the prejudice of fellow pilot trainees, loses and finds love, and battles not only an enemy who threatens his homeworld's survival but also Machitew, who wants his soul. At last, in an unexpected vision quest, his true destiny is revealed. Ku learns that even his trouble life has great worth and a divine purpose. |
