Among The Neshelim

By Tobias Mastgrave

'Understanding. One little word, and yet it means so much. We spend our lives pursuing it in one form or another. We long for it, we seek it, but it is always a rare commodity.

Chin Cao Yu, priest and scholar, has sacrificed all he held dear in its pursuit. Now he undertakes the journey of a lifetime, a journey among the mysterious Neshilim, a people of power unlike any he has seen before. This journey will turn the world he thought he knew upside down and challenge all of his dearly held beliefs. Has he found the ultimate truth or the ultimate lie? And what will he do with it when he learns?'

Tobias Mastgrave

Tobias Mastgrave grew up in northern New England where both his personality and outlook were influenced by the cold climate. A pessimist to his core, Mastgrave did not begin writing until his early twenties, when he took a creative writing class in college. Unhappy with his early works, Mastgrave continued to develop his writing for a number of years before attempting to publish. Currently he lives in Lynchburg, Va and is working on his second book, A Rose 'Ere Blooming. Though he has begun to see some slight success in life, Mastgrave continues to hold onto his pessimistic outlook and wait for the worst to happen.
