From a coastal northern setting, Cynthia crafts stories in impossible worlds and spends her days dreaming up cool characters to occupy them.
She’s been an athlete, a co-pilot, and a world traveler, not necessarily in that order. Cynthia has basked in the light of great poets and received degrees at UMaine Farmington and Seton Hill University. To say she’s obsessed with drinking tea is an understatement.
In the untamed wilds of ancient Finland, Chrigle is a young new shaman with a demanding chieftain. He is charged to provide safety over his tribe’s hunters and has much to prove. With only his Spirit Guide to consult, Chrigle must protect the hunters from the ravages of the forest and lead his chieftain and tribe across unfamiliar land, which brims with unknown dangers.
His burden grows as a witch with her own motives plies him with a curse and an aggrieved demon seeks his demise. Using spiritual powers, Chrigle must find a way to protect his people, save a tortured soul, and survive the onslaught of a demonic attack, but the price of righteousness may be too high.
In a world of dark, Finnish-inflected magic, Ravinski conjures up a story of persistent evil and of grim duties. Some of those duties are evaded while others are bravely met, but either way, the consequences endure. And the story, too, has a way of staying with you after you've finished it.
I found this story to be a great one. Filled with action and surprises it's the perfect book to spend an evening with. It also had a moral to the story, if you will. Be strong and face your fears. I think the Ravinski captured the scene in perfect detail and made me want to keep turning pages to the end. I believe you will be as excited by this one as I am and be waiting for more books like this from the author.

In this EmotoSingle fantasy of Finnish lore, what begins as a journey for Chrigle to win his place among the tribe quickly turns into a test of will and sacrifice. Can a shaman of Finnish tradition save the soul of a demon’s spawn in order to protect his tribe and save himself from exile?
