Collection: Tales of Ellmoria, by Teresa M. Arsenault

Ellmoria is like ancient Earth in many ways. There are mountains, rivers, oceans, and trees; so many trees that a People live hidden in their depths. There is, of course, a Creator - known by many names, when he is known at all. And an evil that slithers amongst the inhabitants of Ellmoria, tempting them to follow in her ways.

BEE SINGER QUEEN: A starving village is saved by a supernatural gift from the Creator, but it is quickly twisted by greed and a lust for power. Generations later, in a culture where women are used and discarded by men, a young woman becomes host to the snake who calls herself a goddess, and becomes the Bee Singer Queen.

SON OF ABEILHE: A young man leaves a mysterious hidden paradise to search for someone he has met only in his dreams. His sole companion is a large, white dog. Will he overcome the dangers and temptations he faces and find his one true love?

OUT OF HIDING: Pockets of miracles break out in Ellmoria, rousing a young revivalist to take his message of hope to the darkest places of the land. Will his zeal be enough to overcome the temptations he faces while traveling alone? Or will his misplaced trust bring calamity upon those he loves, forcing them out of hiding and plunging them into war?

THE LOST SCROLL: A prophesied "Golden Scroll" contains mysteries long hidden from the people of Ellmoria. The Creator himself chooses an unlikely team to find it: an autistic man, a stray dog, and the one who brought destruction to the former paradise of Abeilhe.
