Synopsis "Manifestations Volume I: Valinthir, the Avenging Warrior (in English)"
Important Foreword to Manifestations Abominations are what shock is really all about; and with abominations there must be heroes to stand up. And this book has plenty of both to be dealt with. Tantric Energy, Karma, True Will, High Magick, Lifeforce, Addiction, Genetic Manipulation, Soulmates, Reincarnation, and Courage against overwhelming odds are all heavily threaded throughout this saga over many millennia; with a phantasmagorical cast of characters that are believable. A few words should be mentioned before the reader continues to read this book because of the nature and power of Tantric Energy. It is an important driving factor in the lives of any of the Children of Synn; whose cursed characters are integral to the story. With regard to the methamphetamine epidemic worldwide today; many of those same cursed characters would be addicted to meth and yes, oversexed drug-whores will often talk in the manners represented. But this book is not about the evils of meth addiction or even deviated sexual acts, but the evils of the Children of Synn; meth and sexual perversion are merely two of the far many more addictions they often have life for. That being said, euphoric meth users are simply prime fodder for vampires with a Tantric Lure. And YES, all of the sexuality is very important to the story; the reasons will be understood as the story unfolds. If you read these stories only for the sexual content watch out because there may be a vampire in your future... Currently planned, there will be five Volumes to be released of the series as soon as transcription and editing allow. The first two volumes released in spring and (hopefully) late summer 2016 will be as Manifestations Volume I & II. Of course, III, IV, and V volumes will be later in 2017 & 2018 with the combined edition after the fifth. The only real changes for the inclusion of Valinthir, the Avenging Warrior are new formatting labels for each scene so they can be found on the table of contents and still navigated from there. This uniformity was really needed because action quickly picked up with the beginning of part two and then increased from there; they divide events so different paths might remain different until they collide or blend together later on. In January of Volume I, maybe only five to ten seemingly unconnected events happen a month involving this thread. In September there were twenty seven different events tied to this story that eventually weave together. October is even busier with fifty or so as seemingly unrelated events from January are connected back into the storyline. Love and War Stories can be busy. Ishtar IS the Goddess of Love and War, you know. Different events often happen simultaneously with different characters in different locations as they do in real life. While one scene is a celebration of reunited love, at the same time in another place the darkness may be cultivating power or some abomination is happening. Evil doesn't sleep just because the good guys are having fun. And then again, just because Evil is prevalent everywhere does not mean love can't be found, to be the light that creates hope. And weak willed types are always fodder when an addiction can give an opening to darkness, whether drugs, sex, cannibalism, greed, or computer games. Often it is a combination of more than one of them. The Addiction itself is what destroys the Will, not whatever the addiction is to; sex, drugs, and computer games are fine when kept in control by will. Cannibalism and greed are more questionable problems about them even when 'kept in control' being acceptable. Truth is usually the first fatality for those participants. Moral lessons here should be obvious.
