Ravenswood is in trouble The Spider Witch has trapped Orenda, the forest sylph, and transformed her into an evil monster. The Mistwolves are lost and in danger. Dreamer has been taken away and Stormbringer needs Adriane's help. But how? With no Dreamer to ground her and no Storm to act as her guide, the warrior could get lost in the magic. Orenda is dying, the Mistwolves are fading away and the forest is calling out to Adriane again. To help her friends, she must walk the spirit trail and recover the missing power crystal of Avalon.

Confessions of an American None: A Credo of Sorts is part memoir, part credo, and part romp in pop culture, spotlighting the largest, fastest-growing spiritual demographic in our country- the religiously unaffiliated, aka Nones. A swashbuckling narrative upends conventional thinking about God and religion. Some doctrinal alligators are wrestled into compliance. Some walk the plank. What is the fate of Original Sin, virgin births, and sexuality? It's probably not what you expect. Rachel Roberts shares personal tales of growing up in a cult (Praise Jesus and pass the snakes ), battling an adult relationship with Christianity (Jesus would get drunk with her over this one), and finding relief in becoming a None (phew). She unearths a spirituality that balances the affirmation of reason and science with compassion and inclusivity while abandoning antiquated notions of superstition and tribalism. Seemingly quirky or random cultural references punctuate profundity with levity and reprieve. Think Spock meets the Dali Lama meets Bart Simpson. Each chapter contains a recipe and a well-known song that culminates in a meal and an accompanying playlist. This unique feature inspires the reader to experience everyday spirituality the way many Nones do, by meaningfully connecting with others. Amidst the fun, Confessions aims to instigate a voice for Nones, revolutionize spirituality based on 21st-century values, and reorient our collective consciousness toward that which unifies all people: Love.
