Some say the great mystery of
how one can live in two worlds at once died with Thomas Hunter many years ago.
Still others that the gateway to that greater reality was and is only the stuff
of dreams. They are all wrong.
Rachelle Matthews, who grew up in the small town of Eden, Utah, discovered just how wrong when she dreamed and awoke in another world. There she learned that she was the 49th Mystic, the prophesied one, tasked with finding five ancient seals before powerful enemies destroy her. If Rachelle succeeds in her quest, peace will reign. If she fails, the world will forever be locked in darkness.
In The 49th Mystic, Rachelle found the first three of those five seals through great peril and mind-altering adventure. But two seals remain hidden and the fate of both worlds hangs in their balance.
As Rachelle Matthews sits deep in a dungeon, Vlad Smith is just getting started. Thomas Hunter's world is about to be turned inside out. The mystics say that there is no defense against the Fifth Seal--but finding it will cost Rachelle everything.
So begins the final volume of high stakes in one girl's quest to find an ancient path that will save humanity. The clock is ticking; the end rushes forward.
Ready? Set?
Dream.

My Thoughts:
Rise of the Mystic
by Ted Dekker is a powerful, haunting glance at searching for the light among
the darkness in our world today. The ending is dramatic and full of grip the
book action. I really didn't want to be interrupted when the story came to the
climactic moment. Luckily for me, I read on my day off and the boys were at
school. Plenty of time to myself and Rise
of the Mystic. The Rachelle character finished her journey for the present
moment and learned more about her purpose to defend the light and keep working
to banish the darkness. Overall, Rise of
the Mystic by Ted Dekker is a worthy glance into the heart of humanity and
what Christians need to be doing while we are existing on this reality. I
believe fans of the Circle series should read this two-part saga to complete
their collection.
I received a complimentary copy of the Rise of the Mystics by Ted Dekker from Revell Publishing, but the
opinions stated are all my own.
My Rating:
4 out of 5 stars
Purchase Rise of the Mystics
