THE MYSTIC IS THE FIRST BOOK IN THE ADVENTURES OF JACQUELYNE VAN DYNE - THE DARK SLAYER
Lady Jacquelyne Van Dyne is a beautiful, twenty year old, young woman, who is mature beyond her years.She is in the second year of her university law degree and enjoying a well welcomed summer break.
On a hot, lazy, day she decides to investigate her family history and discovers an ancient book that once belonged to her father.
When a girl goes missing and a small town museum is broken into the events are apparently unconnected to her. Yet her efforts to discover more about the mysterious book suddenly bring her into a deadly game that threatens to destroy her and all those around her.
Slowly she is drawn into the intrigue and events that surround the book and those who seek both it and the secret it hides. Although she fights against it eventually the realisation comes that she is bound to the events no matter how she tries to avoid it.
Through pain and tragedy she learns that magic is real and that her hate of magic will only be surpassed by her hate for the man behind everything.
Finally she is forced to unlock the secrets of her own past, secrets that she thought were hidden away to take up the fight against the evil that surrounds her.
The exciting conclusion is, of course, reached on a traditionally dark and stormy night in a remote castle that will change her life forever.
Some secrets are best left hidden!
Suitable for ages 10+
