Dragon Shaman, Book One: Taming The Blowing Wind can be compared to a blending of Tolkein, J.K. Rowling, and Miyazki's Spirited Away or Princess Mononoke combined with the wonder of a child listening to Native American myth and tales of the Japanese Kami, with a bit of Celtic Fairytale elements. It is sure to be a hit with lovers of dragons, fantasy, supernatural/paranormal, and romance.BlowingWind, a young woman of Native American and Celtic descent, falls in love with Obsidian, a boy she at first believes to be human but later discovers on the night of her 18th birthday to be the guardian spirit of Medicine Lake, near the sacred Mount Shasta in California. The night before her High School graduation he meets with a bad end, setting her journey of self discovery in motion which ultimately takes her away from everything that she knows and to Japan. There, as she searches for what the soul of Obsidian wishes her to find at the foot of Mount Fuji she meets with Ryu, a spirit of the mountain and bearing a striking resemblance to the soul she is searching for.
