The Adept antagonist of the second book of the trilogy. He resides in the dead lands south of the thriving portion of the Eastern continent. As Damien and the others make their way to his fortress, he attempts to derail them with an army of corrupted rakh. A woman is strangled to death while having sex in a Japaneses' corporation building. Lt. Webster Smith (Wesley Snipes) and Japan expert Captain John Connor (Sean Connery) are assigned to solve it. All the evidence points to her Japanese boyfriend but there's more to this than meets the eye. A fierce warrior with a fiery hatred of humans, Hesseth struggles with her prejudice while in the company of Damien Vryce, a human possessed of an understanding she thought humans were incapable of. After starting off hostile towards him and the other group members, she develops an uneasy friendship with Damien and follows him to the Eastern Continent, even though the threat there was not necessarily of her concern. In encountering the young Adept Jenseny, she discovers a strong maternal side to herself, coming to love and care for the lost little girl as if she were her own. In the end, she gives her life to allow Damien and Jenseny a chance to survive in the harsh lands of the Undying Prince.For a few hundred years, humanity has managed to eke out a scant existence on the harsh surface of Erna, keeping an uneasy balance with the Fae. Mankind grows weary of its tumultuous battle with the energy-force however, and multiple organizations try to find ways to render the human psyche unable to mold the Fae. One of these groups was the Church of Human Unification, an organization that sought to bring mankind together in prayer to accomplish two things: 1) make the Fae recognize man as a regular race on Erna, allowing them to live in harmony with the energy, and 2) allow for a human afterlife by bringing mankind to the bosom of a God that either already exists, or will be made by the power of the faith of man, and the Fae it will mold.

Sarah, I have to admit I’m somewhat relieved to see that a Friedman fan agrees, because I really struggled with how many stars rate to this book. There is some really great stuff in it, but I’d be lying if I said I didn’t get bored. I thought it might be more of a personal thing, cause I like my action bloody and want to be able to picture the characters and setting in my head like I’m watching a movie. There are moments in this book that are like that, but it was very selective which can almost be worse -all or nothing I say. The Japanese word for Japan is 日本, which is pronounced 'Nihon' or 'Nippon', and literally means "the origin of the sun". The character nichi ( 日) means "sun" or "day"; hon ( 本) means "base" or "origin". [11] The compound therefore means "origin of the sun" and is the source of the popular Western epithet "Land of the Rising Sun". [12] The red disc symbolizes the Sun and the red lines are light rays shining from the rising sun. Refugees from Earth colonized the planet Erna some 1200 years ago. Excepting its extremely high seismic activity, Erna seemed a hospitable planet for mankind to call home. However, soon after our arrival a terrible threat was discovered. A natural force of energy called the fae animated the thoughts and emotions of all living things, so that our very nightmares could be brought to life. This almost destroyed us. Then, some humans figured out how to manipulate the fae to become sorcerers. A religion was created, too, based on the hope that faith would one day make mankind immune to fae manipulations. These two events kept the struggle against the fae at an uneasy stalemate for close to a millennium. But as human civilization has been developing, a dark force fed by the sorcerous uses of the fae has secretly grown in power to become a new and powerful threat. The Hunter is an Adept with unfathomable capability and power. In the sacrifice he gained a control over the Fae no man had ever dared dream of before. Not only can he control the Earth Fae with ease, he can now utilize the elusive and tantalizing Dark Fae, with which he can perform the most arcane and dark of Workings. Conscious activity is the key to intelligence because consciousness belongs to the sphere of the dot and activity to the sphere of the circle.Piggott, Joan R. (1997). The emergence of Japanese kingship. Stanford University Press. pp.143–144. ISBN 978-0-8047-2832-4. Native American Cultures: In many Native American tribes, the sun is considered the guardian of the day with the power to heal. Sun symbols often denote life, knowledge, and growth. It is possible that these teachings influenced Philolaus in the development of his groundbreaking theory of the Central Fire. This is supported by the fact that the various teachings regarding multiple alchemaic suns are sometimes attributed to Empedocles, who was a contemporary of Philolaus, and his senior. However, this connection may be coincidence, as it is likely that the attribution of these ideas to Empedocles may stem from an imperfect understanding of his cosmology in regard to the reflective nature of the Sun. The circle is the symbol of body and body is the limit of the radius of the activity of mind power pouring out of the substance of consciousness,” Hall concluded.
