Volume One of The Mystic Trilogy
“I called to the Myst, and it sent us you.”
For hundreds of years, high-born nobles have competed for the chance to learn of the Myst.
Powerful, revered, and often reclusive, Mystics have the unique ability to summon and manipulate the Myst: the underlying energy that lives at the heart of the universe. Once in a very great while, they take an apprentice, always from the most privileged sects of society.
Such has always been the tradition—until a new High Mystic takes her seat and chooses Pomella AnDone, a restless, low-born teenager, as a candidate.
Commoners have never been welcomed among the select few given the opportunity to rise beyond even the highest nobility. So when Pomella chooses to accept the summons and journey to Kelt Apar, she knows that she will have more to contend with than the competition for the apprenticeship.
Breaking both law and tradition, Pomella undergoes three trials against the other candidates to prove her worthiness. As the trials unfold, Pomella navigates a deadly world of intolerance and betrayal, unaware that ruthless conspirators intend to make her suffer for having the audacity to seek to unravel the secrets of the Myst.

“On the wind, my breath
By the light between
My eyes to far-lost Fayün
So shall I hold dear
All that lives in harmony
Within the Myst and
Carry it into the Deep”
Praise
“The twists and turns in the plot kept this reader on her toes. Pomella has spunk and courage, and sweet Sim is loyal to a fault. It’s hard not to fall into this story.”
“Denzel, best known for his founding of a preeminent Robert Jordan fan site, builds a solidly enjoyable debut. Pomella’s manipulation of the Myst through song gives the story a poetic feel. This fantasy adventure is clearly inspired by the classics but still finds something new to say.”
