  We are all of us, without exception, innately capable of sin. This truth was thrust upon me by a cantankerous ghost when we investigated the haunting of the Saunders house on Livermead Hill. The house itself was a grim construction, steeped in sorrow borne from secrets, anger fueled by lies and the bitter taint of betrayal. 
  Within its walls lurked a tormenting spirit. He took an instant dislike to my presence and let me know, quite clearly, just how wicked we can be. 
  This is the ninth book in the Paranormology Series.

  "The Profound - Part 2" is the second volume of a narrative spanning many volumes. James Tannot, a young Irishman from Dublin, has no aspirations to become a hero or an enlightened master. His main objective is to enjoy his time as a medical student in Southern France and graduate as a doctor from Marseille University. However, he fails the entrance exam and shortly thereafter meets a peculiar Armenian doctor who introduces him to a secret community of healers called the Cymdeithas. This doctor takes him in and aims to turn him into a healer. Suddenly, James finds himself in a world where magic is as real as a supermarket in the Ordinary World, and where evil is just as real and brutal as the good is humorous and powerful. 
  During his training with the Cymdeithas, James not only encounters his soulmate, Manush, but also discovers that in this course of study, he must be willing to risk his life. 
  Manus Braith's novel introduces readers to a spiritual, magical world where enlightenment is approached in a unique way. Sometimes uproariously funny, at other times profound and contemplative, but always with a captivating drive that enthralls and leaves one longing. Clearly not a book for the dull, legalistic, or those who have given up on dreaming. However, it is undoubtedly a book for readers who have always felt that something is missing but could never quite put their finger on what, where, and how... 
  Fun and excitement are guaranteed. The individual volumes of the story seamlessly blend into each other, weaving a world that refuses to let go easily.
