KAOS MOON: Shaman Rising!
A long time ago, the mountains of Siberia were ruled by clans of powerful Shamans. As the new world advanced to the last corners of the Altai mountains, the Shamans were persecuted for heresy and treason. The Christian invaders rounded them all up in a house burning it to the ground. But three powerful Shamans came walking out of the fire unscathed. Their bodies were untouched and they retreated to Belovodia vowing revenge. They were never heard from again and attempts at finding their mysterious hideout turned up nothing.
Modern day, Manhattan. Russian-born Katja Zakkov is experiencing strange
visions. By merely touching people and objects, she can see images of past
events. But were did this strange ability come from? Her half brother Jules
urges her to travel back to her native country to investigate her past.
Events
unravel as she gets contacted by an old woman introducing herself as the
spirit of a once mighty Shaman called Shrasa. Tracing back her roots, she
encounters a strangely familiar wolf near her remote hometown in the mountains.
She remembers this same wolf from her childhood and recalls his curious
but somewhat aggressive nature. She had given it the name Varg. When she
was a child it had attacked her and only the spear of a fearless Shaman
had saved her life. But this time around she's not afraid anymore and the
wolf retreats.
As the flashbacks intensify, she discovers that she's the reincarnation of an ancient, beautiful Shaman called Kaos Moon. One of the three Shamans that survived the blaze.
The other two, Shrasa and Varg, both now in altered states of existence, have been embroiled in a bitter battle over revenge.
Katja realizes that
she and her alter ego Kaos Moon hold the key to the balance of the triumvirate.
Shrasa will have to use all of her spirit energy to help Katja regain control
of Kaos Moon. But Varg has been nurturing his own energy supply by feeding
of the lost souls of the dead. He's stronger and more convincing than ever
and wants Katja to come over to his side, the side of revenge.
Will Katja and Kaos Moon be able to face an ever growing and powerful Varg?
And how will Katja be able to deal with her past?
