  In the beginning, the Goddess danced the world into existence. Peace reigned for generations through matriarchal rule within the Minca, Dute, and Carroo tribes. But one man's lust for power destroyed this balance. Vestor assassinated his sister, Mother of the Minca tribe, and his army ravaged the Dute and Carroo tribes, thrusting a once idyllic world into war, famine, and despair. 
  Yet, today there is hope. Vestor's niece, Cora, has a vision: if she can convince an emissary from each tribe to rendezvous at the Heart Stone, she can overthrow her evil uncle, take her rightful place as Mother Minca, and restore harmony. 
  But the Dutes have disappeared deep into their mountains. There are rumors the Carroo are extinct. And, Cora must move swiftly -- lest Vestor learn that she's pregnant with the Minca heir.

  Murder from the Memoirs of...

  Barry Eric Odell Pain was born at 3 Sydney Street in Cambridge on 28th September 1864. He was one of 4 children. 
  He was educated at Sedbergh School and then Corpus Christi College, Cambridge where he read classics and contributed to and edited Granta. 
  Four years of service as an Army coach followed before he moved to London. In 1889, Cornhill Magazine published his short story ‘The Hundred Gates’.  This opened the way for Pain to advance his literary career on several fronts. He became a contributor to Punch and The Speaker, as well as joining the staff of both the Daily Chronicle and Black and White.  
  In 1897 he succeeded Jerome K Jerome as editor of To-Day but still contributed regularly, until 1928, to the Windsor Magazine. 
  It is often said that Pain was discovered by Robert Louis Stevenson, who compared his work to that of Guy de Maupassant.  It’s an apt comparison. Pain was also a master of disturbing prose but able to inject parody and light comedy into many of his works.  A simple premise could in his hands suddenly expand into a world very real but somehow emotionally fraught and on the very edge of darkness as many of these short stories demonstrate.   
  Despite applying his talents to several genres and forms today Pain is more readily thought of, especially during the first decade of the 20th Century, as perhaps the leading British humorist of his day.  These stories reveal a darker side and beg to differ. 
  Barry Pain died on 5th May 1928 in Bushey, Hertfordshire.

  On an isolated isle off the western coast of Scotland, spirited American Jane Wunderly must investigate a secret society where esoteric rituals blur the line between what’s real, what’s illusion, and what’s deadly … 
   
  Isle of Iona, 1927: Cast away on a remote locale, Jane’s latest assignment depends on concealing her identity and blending in at an occult gathering. Not even her fiancé, Redvers, can be too close as she uncovers the truth about Robert Nightingale, enigmatic leader of the Order of the  
  Golden Dawn—a group made up of supernatural ceremonies, influential people, and an undefinable darkness.  
   
  When a woman tries to escape to the mainland only to be found murdered in the moors, the shocking scene reveals it’s easier to join the Golden Dawn than it is to leave. 
   
  Jane, set on solving the crime and catching the next ferry with Redvers, realizes she may be among the few still grasping reality. One high-ranking member searches for the killer by attempting to access otherworldly planes of existence, while others become immersed in a strange solstice ritual.  
  Then there’s Nightingale and the rivals who discarded him to start a new temple. As a second death brings fresh clues into focus, Jane needs to navigate a frightening dilemma—playing along won’t help her crack the mystery, but revealing too much could be a fatal mistake …

  An international mission tracking the source of monsters, and a familiar surprise, await the Elemental, Idina Moorfield and Hellion's Bravo Team. 
   
  Now that they've recognized the pattern, Idina and her unit need to close the Monstrous Pandora's Box to balance out the scales after defeating the Olc. 
   
  But supernatural entities in Scotland are nothing like what Bravo Team has dealt with back home. Neither is magic. That's a problem when their primary objective is to get in, stop the source of monsters, and get back out. 
   
  When everything leads Idina and her team back to her Muirden ancestral home in Scotland, the mission takes on a completely different meaning none of them saw coming. 
   
  Is this all tied to Idina and Richard and their Warrior powers? Is this about more than just monsters and magic? 
   
  The answers may lie in the small town near Tigh Ghleann Estate. If only the small town wouldn't keep disappearing 
   
  Protecting the locals from a few wayward monsters is just part of the job. Creating new honorary Muirden Warriors isn't. 
   
  Will Idina and her team be willing to lay down their arms and sacrifice it all to return magic and monsters to balance? 
   
  Adapted from the novel and produced with a full cast of actors, immersive sound effects and cinematic music!
