Rhuna, The Snow Dreamer: Trials in the Land of Mystics and Tulpas (A Quest for Ancient Wisdom)

Rhuna is a woman living in the mystical past of highly advanced civilizations like Atlantis, when pyramids and other megalithic structures were made with technology now lost and forgotten. Part of this ancient legend tells of people with special abilities who can transform elements, such as sand to stone and lead to gold, with the concentrated power of the mind. They could also summon mental visions of faraway places and events, and call upon cosmic, solar, lunar and earth energies.Rhuna has been gifted with more of these superhuman abilities than most, and as her powers grow, she faces ever greater challenges, both on a personal level and in far-reaching issues that affect everyone around her. Her nemesis, known as the Dark Master, is a man with similar exceptional powers who has chosen to use them for sinister purposes.In this fifth adventure around the ancient world, Rhuna travels to the Land at the Top of the World in the desperate hope that the Masters of Ancient Wisdom can undo what the Dark Master has done to her husband and daughter. She is devastated when they refuse to help, and even claim her youngest child as one of their own due to her ability to foresee the future.Rhuna's last hope is to reach The Ascended Ones who live on a higher spiritual plane, but a tulpa - a being made from one's concentrated visual imagination - is following her in an attempt to kill her. Did the Dark Master survive Rhuna's attempt to destroy him and his evil Conjurers, and is now seeking his revenge by controlling the murderous tulpa?When the shocking truth is finally revealed, Rhuna faces unexpected revelations about the secret and mystical Shambhala: Valley of the Immortals, and she must help the Masters of Ancient Wisdom solve the uncanny mystery of the changing texts in their Depository of Archival Texts.
