The Summer Sojourn from The Rhuna Tales

The Rhuna Tales mini novella series complements the full-length book series entitled A Quest for Ancient Wisdom.
Rhuna is a woman who lives in the mystical past when a highly-advanced civilization like Atlantis spread knowledge across the world and built megalithic structures such as the pyramids. In Rhuna’s world, these intellectual people of an idyllic society are called Atlans, and many of them possess the ability to change matter with the power of their minds.
Although Rhuna is only part Atlan, she has inherited these Atlan abilities, not only to transform elements such as sand to stone and metal to gold, but also to summon visions of distant places and events.
The first book in the full-length novel series begins with Rhuna as a young adolescent, when she discovers her heritage and special powers. This time period is the setting for the mini novella, The Summer Sojourn.
In this short novella, Rhuna attends a special school on a lovely Pacific island, and during the summer break, she visits a nearby island where she mingles with the native residents. Everything appears fine on the surface until one terrifying night in which Rhuna and her group must flee from the island or be killed in a brutal uprising.
Rhuna and her fellow Atlans are shocked to learn about the lie and the events which led to this conflict between two very different groups of people.
