Professor Bonnie Smith

Circle of Light Professor Bonnie Smith

Cassandra Raven has an agile mind. She reads auras, sees visions, and rides streamers of light to explore the secrets of heaven with her dead friend Danny Begay. But the out-of-body riding unhinges Cass's balance and she's learned to guard her psyche better by keeping her feet solidly on the ground. This doesn't mean she can't enjoy the vivid glimpses her mind provides of the universe. She simply has to curtail the exotic means she uses to travel its boundaries. In Circle of Light, the farms, fields, and forests across Montana are exploding in flames. Grieving for dying creatures, Cass stumbles into a bizarre candle-burning ceremony on a tinder dry mountainside. Suspicious of the teenage perpetrators, but with no time to defend herself, she's struck down by what everyone thinks is lightning. Only surviving because Danny intervenes, Cass warns that her attacker is a devil spirit bent on revenge for a past wrong; a monster wolf who has escaped the eternal veil and now possesses all the power he needs to destroy her home and family-not to mention the broad swaths of landscape he's targeting. And when her sister locks Cass away in a hospital for crazy people, not even God seems to believe her-or care.
