I was fascinated by this brief novella in which the world of Providence and its archetypes are introduced to the reader in a compelling narrative. Elizabeth Rose is an interesting woman. A skillful story teller and accurate historian of the Providence world. A world that when it interacts with ordinary reality gives birth to the familiar legends and myths common throughout our history and spread throughout the world. The story does a remarkable job of connecting modern themes like Vampires and Werewolves to epic tales about angels, sorcerers, and witches. If this is, as I hope, an opening stanza to an epic series based on these creatures and the legends around them throughout history it promises to be a great ride for years to follow.A well told story with deep connections to common lore, and a descriptive original style combine to make this little book a real treasure! The marvelous settings in Syrian desert and the references to OT events are well researched and brought to life for the reader vividly.
