Being new to his gift, he has to learn how to control his abilities, or cause more harm than good to the people around him. And so, he has to leave his hometown and embark on a journey to a distant monastery where he could find a Wind Master. Whilst visiting relatives in the capital city of Kanay, however, he hears strange stories about abductions in the city and the surrounding areas. Many believe that a dark cult is responsible for the abductions, targeting those with elemental gifts like Dari. With the looming threat of abduction and unseen dangers, will Dari find the fortitude to push on with his journey or will he fall victim to the dark and sinister cult? ******* Photo Credit: The image of the sleeping woman on the book cover was created Leandro de Caravalho from Pixabay.
