Obsidian And The Chamber Of Bottles

An unforgettable, initially serendipitous quest into hidden universes with characters never dreamed of, to places never imagined. Silowet launches out of the classroom into the wilderness. Lured by shamans into a dangerous valley hidden from the world above, she meets Ballow, keeper of the world’s secretly sequestered bees. Unbeknownst to her, Ballow is awaiting her arrival and offers a sacred quickening mirror, elixirs, and a dire warning, and sends her on a journey for the lost scream of the dead and to Obsidian before commencement of assembly of the axinoxy, a meeting of the parallel universe jurors who decide the fate of the worlds. She navigates the precarious low places encountering the keeper of rare coral jelly dolphins, which gave birth to man, then to the treacherous sleeping Indian mountains trixter territories. Time is not on her side. Assembly of the axinoxy is near. Whether or not human civilization will survive depends on Silowet and the new human friends she meets.
