This is a re-release rather than a new release and I can’t express enough what a joy this book is. I read a previous edition, but I don’t believe that any substantial changes have been made. Good luck Lloyd!!

An eye for an eye….
Ian McCandless is a hospice nurse, training to become a shaman. When his mentor orders him to make peace with his estranged family, Ian reluctantly agrees, anticipating another conflict-filled visit. On their way from the airport, Ian’s older brother Will interrupts a convenience store robbery and is shot. As he dies in Ian’s arms, Will begs Ian to avenge him.Ian uses his shamanic abilities to track down the killer, but his quest soon becomes a hunt for revenge—forbidden to any shaman. His actions jeopardize his relationship with the spirit-world, endanger the lives of those he loves, and threaten to banish him from the path that gives his life meaning. Ian must choose between vengeance and service to community as the root of his shamanic covenant. Evil or noble, every choice is sacred to the Great Web, and every choice has consequences.

From Lloyd’s Goodread’s Bio
Amongst other roles, I’ve been a minister, a janitor, a drinker, and a software developer on my way to becoming a writer. I’m a psychic empath still learning how to live in the world just the way it is. The thing is, the world is so much more than what seems generally accepted. That’s the challenge.
I’ve often thought that black holes were the intake end of stars shining into another dimension, just as the smallest voice in the heart of something familiar can call to me — an adventure waiting to pull me into wonder.
My husband and I have been together since 2002. Between us we have four children and four grandchildren. We live in south Florida, and work hard to keep up with the astonishing life we’ve created for ourselves.
Meeker’s novel The Companion was named a finalist in the 2015 Lambda Literary Awards.
He is also the author of the titles Blood and Dirt, Traveling Light, Enigma, Blood Royal, and A Cape of Good Hope Christmas.
A fascinating idea in a realm well off the beaten path. Thank you, Elin, for highlighting this work and thank you, Lloyd, for delving into mysteries and practices few authors explore. And yes, I think many people would love to know who created the cover art.
It’s a terrific story, Bear. I hope you enjoy it.
