A decade has passed since the events of BLACK & ORANGE and the Church of Midnight has almost been singlehandedly decimated by the Nomad named Patty Middleton. After a series of mass executions, she demands to get answers from the mysterious Messenger, and is tireless in her pursuit, despite the protests of her partner. While Patty seems closer to discovering the identity of the Messenger, she has also developed a dangerous condition with her power to create the invisible fields known as mantles. This condition could kill her or people around her, just when she needs to focus on her enemies, who now include a government group known as the Office of Arcane Phenomenon. Meanwhile, Chaplain Cloth, disappointed and impatient with years of failing, seeks a rumored pair of columns that will hold the gateway open forever. Patty Middleton is more than a match for him though, and half of his Church is gone. If he doesn’t make his move now he might not get another chance for thousands of years. There’s no room for error. He has to get those columns and sacrifice the Heart of the Harvest. But this year the Heart isn’t in our world. This time around, the Nomads and Chaplain Cloth are spending Halloween in the Old Domain.

The true story of an ordinary woman living an extraordinary existence all over the world. “Gelman doesn’t just observe the cultures she visits, she participates in them, becoming emotionally involved in the people’s lives. This is an amazing travelogue.” —Booklist At the age of forty-eight, on the verge of a divorce, Rita Golden Gelman left an elegant life in L.A. to follow her dream of travelling the world, connecting with people in cultures all over the globe. In 1986, Rita sold her possessions and became a nomad, living in a Zapotec village in Mexico, sleeping with sea lions on the Galapagos Islands, and residing everywhere from thatched huts to regal palaces. She has observed orangutans in the rain forest of Borneo, visited trance healers and dens of black magic, and cooked with women on fires all over the world. Rita’s example encourages us all to dust off our dreams and rediscover the joy, the exuberance, and the hidden spirit that so many of us bury when we become adults.

This is the author's story written by tears. He is the center of this odyssey as a participant and an observer. It's a story about the loss of innocence, freedom, family, comfort, and family and about the good tradition of the Chinese culture that is slowly being lost. But it's also a story about gain and growth: gaining a few cultures and languages, new friends and trust, of experience and education, humility, of freedom, and regaining of self. Chi is not a hero in this narrative, just an ordinary man groping for meaning in his efforts to heal and help others. It is also a story of his own healing among the nomads of the grassland of Inner Mongolia. He survived and grew ever stronger in his own faith. It chronicles the tragedy of a Christian family during the chaos of China's Cultural Revolution launched by Mao Zedong in 1966. The author's parents were detained, beaten, and abused by Red Rebels in 1968, due to in 1952, they held a farewell party for Dr. Frank W. Price, a former pastor in Shanghai, and because during China's 1959 through 1962 national starvation, they received foreign food from their siblings living in the United States. In 1968, the author's fourteen-year-old sister's application to a reunion with her sister who lived near the northern national border was turned down, so she had to cut her fingertips, then wrote a pledge with the blood. The author records the primitive life of Mongolian nomads during his trip to the grasslands of Inner Mongolia to look for his two sisters and how he overcame difficulties with Mao Zedong badges as well as his unique acupuncture skills. Chinese words and names using the pinyin system are in BOLD font. Mongolian names and words are in italic font. There are twenty photos/illustrations.
