    About this ebook

    What if one day, you discovered you had lived a past life as a witch, shapeshifter, or sorcerer—or even Merlin! and that you still had all of your powers? And what if you then remembered just a little more than you bargained for? This is the story of Adam, the Fate-Weaver; Una, the Spirit of Elements, Gwion, the Shapeshifter, Svetlana, the Chaos Warrior, Aidin, the Levitator, Karl, the Mind-Chameleon, Ken, the Shadow, and Mukashi, the Visionary...

    Anne Spackman

    At the current time, I am a gymnastics coach and a writer of many types of fiction. I have a BA in English language and literature from the University of Chicago. I am half-American and half-Scottish. I spent many summers as a girl in Scotland, and moved to England at 16 where I finished high school at Bedford High School in Bedfordshire, England.My first novel, The Last Immortal, I wrote more than twenty years ago. It is the first of six novels in the "Seeds of a Fallen Empire" series that was finished in 2000 and finally published as an e-book in 2010-2014 after many years of trying the traditional publishing route. I have also written one fantasy novel, Curse of the Dragon Kings, which was written in 1997 and published as an e-book in 2010.As a writer, I started out writing mostly science fiction and also fantasy as I so much loved J.R.R. Tolkien as a girl. I also really enjoy historical fiction set in the days of ancient Rome, (and Egypt.) I am now writing more romantic and historical short stories.
