Yakutian Magic
by
Michael Murphy
1801. Kamchatka, Russia. Ragnar, a courageous seafaring man, is called to return home to Norway along perilous roads. Sayiina, a strong Yakutian huntress and tracker, has promised to fulfill her dying father’s last wish. Unexpectedly, their fates merge, intertwined by their growing love for each other in the face of harsh wilderness and seemingly insurmountable odds. Join Ragnar and Sayiina’s adventure, sailing along the great Amur River, then west into the ancient realm of Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, a corrupt and wicked city where they are trapped by a Cossack’s vicious revenge. As they travel the Silk Road from Mongolia to Europe, their lives are tested physically, emotionally, and spiritually against sword and sorcery. Will their Yakutian magic be enough to help them reach home?
Michael Murphy uses his life experiences to tell great stories. His lifetime of living on the West Coast and having a wonderful brother, combined with his desire to tell a story, led to the writing of Kane’s Guest Book and Yakutian Magic. His love for reading and travel fuels his writing, which builds on themes of learning to accept and overcome difficult challenges in life, and characters coming into their own. When not writing, Murphy enjoys cycling, walking, and spending time in the outdoors. He lives in the Fraser Valley, British Columbia, with his beautiful wife of forty years.
