The Sun, the Sword, and the Mermaid: A Bildungsroman

Have you ever felt that your fate was intertwined with others'? Have you ever experienced a summoning? Well, one spring day, Dana does. After receiving a strange deck of cards for her 25th birthday, she finds herself unable to drift along, comfortably uncertain in her parents home. Compelled to venture northwest, to visit the aunt who sent her the gift, she enters another realm; in the Trinity Mountains, she is guided by a colorful cast of characters who help her to connect the dots of her past, and empower her future. Only when she reaches the other side will she be prepared to recognize and confront the darkness that has haunted her. In this 'bildungsroman,' a story of awakening, we journey with her and her fellow players through a web of intersecting dreams, histories and choices--to discover how much we share as we travel alone.
