Overview

A cluster of five mystics with ancient powers and an impossible quest. A story of unbreakable bonds and found family. A metaphysical adventure. And a slow-burn love story that ignites amidst the chaos of destiny and darkness. In a world where sorcery is not welcomed, Ember, a young Fire sorcerer, is both hunting and being hunted. On the run from a dark past and searching for the four other mystics with powers that complement hers, she meets her half-brother Heng for the first time. He too has hidden powers he struggles to control and is reluctant to accept. Together, they must cross continents and ethereal realms to unite the rest of their cluster before the approaching Upasārjanā night. Their mission is clear: to shatter the veil of illusion woven by the insidious Shadows of Sky Consciousness, freeing humanity from centuries of mental enslavement. But this is not their first attempt. Through countless lifetimes, the five mystics have reincarnated, driven by the same single purpose. Each lifetime has ended in their demise at the hands of relentless black sorcerers, sworn protectors of the deceptive veil. With each rebirth, their memories fade, leaving them to rediscover their shared destiny anew. In this lifetime, they must awaken to the haunting echoes of past lives, rekindle their connection with the elemental powers that define them, and resist the forces of black sorcery in a race against time. Will this be their final stand or another turn in the ceaseless cycle of Samsara, where life and death are ever-entwined? ★★★★★ ""Gripping. Powerful. Filled with Eastern Wisdom."" - Goodreads Review ★★★★★ ""I was hooked from the first page... No, the first sentence. And did not want to put it down until the last. It is not only an enchanting fantasy filled with elemental magic and dynamic characters, it is also mysterious and suspenseful. I would almost label it 'dark fantasy', but while the cluster have questionable and morally grey pasts, they are driven by forces of light, and over their journey of transformation, become embodiments of light itself...."" - Goodreads Review

A tightly crafted and unputdownable story that explores the cycle of life and death and the idea of past life trauma in a very interesting, unique way. I've never ready anything like it. Even though it's a fantasy, it helped me understand certain parts of my own psyche and experiences with unseen phenomena that I thought were outside of understanding. The characters were complex, flawed and real, and written with a sense of honest emotionality and heart that made me feel like a part of their world and mystical quest. I also loved their connection with nature, and the way the writer used nature as the source of all magic. Goodreads Review I was given an advanced copy of this book for an honest review... and I LOVED IT! This book was more fast-paced than the first book I read by Sita Bennett. The characters appear almost dark and mystical, immediately drawing me in. Perfectly aimed at young adults with imperfect pasts (who's isn't?), who are walking toward a path of heart and truth! Goodreads Review Gripping. Powerful. Filled with Eastern Wisdom. I LOVE the way the book crosses continents and explores different cultures. The Mystic cluster are all of different races and backgrounds, but connected by the same force of magic and purpose. From Australia to Taiwan, Iceland and Nepal. The different locations each bring a different essence and sense of aliveness which makes you feel like your travelling with them. The cluster are all element benders, fire, water, air, spirit, earth, and the entire book honours the power of nature in a really vivid way. Ember, the lead character is a force of nature herself. She's determined, strong-willed and fiercely independent. She has a complicated past that she's running from, but learns to also be vulnerable through a beautiful, heart-opening romantic sub-plot with a smart, kind, hot Icelandic man. I could feel the power of her spirit through the pages and was left feeling so inspired by all her layers and depth. There are many spiritual wisdoms and mystical truths weaved through-out the page-turning fantasy adventure for those who look. All the main characters are on some kind of spiritual journey and awakening of consciousness, which has made the book stay on my mind in a deeper way than other general fantasy novels. Sita Bennett is absolutely my new favourite author. Her work is so unique, and I really hope others who like me, seek good spiritual and metaphysical fiction find her books! They are treasures that speak to my heart in a rare way. Goodreads Review
