Summary

“Syranda and magic are an interconnected tree with the same root, with many branches, and beautiful fruits in many shapes and colours.”

 
When the dear leader declares a group of people as enemies, what would you do? Do you keep quiet because you are not one of them, or do you stand up for them?
 
Syranda, once a peaceful democracy, has gradually become something darak and sinister under Angelus, the Minister of Defence. Historically benefiting from individuals with special abilities, the country now persecutes them, fostering an enemy image to solidify control.
 
Angelus' daughter, Vitu, was born with a unique ability, which her father chose to keep hidden. As a teenager, Vitu realized that her father prioritized his service to the regime and personal ambitions over her well-being, leading her to flee. During her search for an escape, she gained understanding about her abilities, other people, and herself.

 
"The prey within us will cease tonight, and by sunrise, the predator will rise with the dawn!"

While on a college-sponsored field trip to experience a real archaeology dig, Missouri University student Quinn Cameron is separated from the rest of her class by a heavy fog.

Soon, even that security is threatened when she finds herself connected to the dark, mysterious Fae who claims she has a fate to fulfill. He's the only one with information on how she arrived here . . . but can she trust him to tell her the truth about how to get back?

    There is something about the number 3.    
The Ancient Greeks believed 3 was the perfect number, and in China 3 has always been a lucky number, and they know a thing or two.   
Most religions also have 3 this and 3 that and, of course, in these more modern times, three’s a crowd may be too many, except when it’s a ménage à trois.  It seems good things usually come in threes. 
Whatever history and culture says WE think 3, a hat-trick of stories, is a great number to explore themes and literary avenues that classic authors were so adept at creating.
