The Gate of Galithonel

About the Book

Can One Woman Save the Elves?

It has been two hundred years since the Gate last opened, spilling forth an enemy that irrevocably altered the world. Now comes Earth-woman, Kassanderae, a strangely-clad Visitor with even odder ideas, landing right across the path of a mysterious traveler. Rae never dreamt going out for a jog could lead to such adventure, as she falls through the prehistoric portal into a story of ancient prophecy, accidental magic, and monarchical madness.

Saved from the start by the Golden Son, she is stunned by his beauty. Yet already he hides a secret, too shameful to admit. And as the threat of death presses upon them, she has a few surprises of her own in store, as he learns she is his fate in more ways than he could imagine. 

In an enchanted world, a race against time to save a long-forgotten people is coming to its end. And as the Wise Ones brace for extermination, one question remains unanswered: WHO IS THE VISITOR? What strange twist of fate spat her forth at this historic moment? Could she be the one for whom the wizard waits? Will she lead the elves to victory, or does her destiny lie elsewhere?

Slip through the Gate of Galithonel and join one woman’s journey of subterfuge and self-discovery as she finds her gifts for a world in crisis and discovers the secrets of a wondrous race: energy masters, gifted healers, devoted lovers…Immortal Elves.  

About the Author

Ashandra-Aah first began writing in her teens, utilizing poetry and songwriting as a means to express the rebellion, angst and uncertainty of the turbulent sixties. Soon after, she quickly began journaling as a tool for personal growth, later incorporating the medium of writing and other expressive arts into her professional counseling work. Though she was often told by others that she Òshould write,Ó she rarely had opportunity until a health crisis landed her flat on her back. While bedridden for half a year, she had a dream one night and The Gate of Galithonel was born. Ashandra-Aah is a modern voice with an ancient sensibility. She brings to her writing a critical look at contemporary culture and a deep understanding of human nature. As author, her interest lies in exploring the human concepts of love, peace and justice and how we may manifest these things within ourselves and our world by stepping into ourmost authentic and noble selves. Shaman, wisdom elder, and Lightworker, Ashandra-Aah is founder and owner of the Heart of Light Center for Shamanic Light Work, whose mission is to facilitate the identification and clearing of imprints from the luminous body to assist individuals in re-discovering their wholeness, joy and true freedom. Her educational background includes doctoral work at the Institute of Transpersonal Psychology and Oral Roberts University School of Medicine, as well as studies with the founders of psychodrama, eco-psychology and poetry therapy; with Arnold Mindell and the Process Work Institute, the Foundation for Shamanic Studies, and individual shamans, such as Alberto Villoldo, in the Incan, Huichol, and Lakota Sioux traditions. Ashandra-Aah is the originator of Light Questª: a week-long emersion experience of light-body clearing, supportive ritual, and nature retreat.
