The Oracle of Devor

by Monica McDowell

A seer, a scryer, a waterwitch faces an unfathomable foe—a man full of fury and fire who seeks to destroy her and her adopted city, Devor. With only her tools to guide her, she journeys to save Devor and discovers her past is the secret to her present, and the future is full of dangers and surprises even this gifted soothsayer cannot foresee. Whether she is successful depends on factors beyond her control and on people she’s not sure she can trust. She is the lady-in-white, the Oracle of Devor.

Her second book, "You are Light" (O-Books, 2011) is a healing meditation workbook to help you have all the love, joy, and peace you desire and was published in over 14 countries worldwide. "Confessions of a Mystic Soccer Mom", her third book was published in 2012 (Synclectic) and picks up where "My Karma" left off. Her first fiction, "The Girl with a Gift" (Earth Words Press, 2015) received an Earth Monastery Grant award from Abbey of the Arts.
