Zinfandel's Grimoire: Book 2 of the Rivervine Trilogy

Xin Vondella, known to the townsfolk as Zinfandel, has been the spectral sentry of the city of Rivervine for nearly a hundred and fifty years. She has vowed to support and defend her land against all enemies, foreign and domestic. Her modern-day allies are a group of mystics living a simple, earth-based lifestyle that has been threatened by real-estate developers for ages, but now they face an enemy who has other plans for the property-and we're not talking about a strip mall or housing subdivision. This is a spiritual battle that will be fought in both the physical and occult realms, stirring up six-thousand-year-old demons, with fronts in both California and the Middle East. The entire Comati culture faces extinction. But if Zinfandel can put into writing all of the history, philosophies and mystic lessons, the legacy can continue. Where and when it will continue, though, is still unknown.
