The magical saga of the witch, Hilly Kemp, continues in Denali Rising, book 2 in the magical realism series Chronicle of Ceres.

The magic of ancient Cererians pulses in Hilly's veins. Mixed with her innate psychic abilities, her powers grow stronger every day. She travels to Alaska to unearth the mystery surrounding her Firewalker family and to unearth the answers surrounding their murders.

A shamanic vision quest reveals shocking details of an ancient Cererian Prophecy and propels Hilly to a showdown with the evil Yfel Brethren who have kidnapped and tortured her husband, Curtis. The Yfel hope that, in order to save her husband's life, Hilly will release their leader, Stygian, from his interdimensional cell.
Hilly forms an alliance with Jake, an Alaskan bush pilot and powerful magician who is descended from the Family of Air. Together they ascend the snowy slopes of Denali to confront the Yfel Brethren and rescue Curtis.

Hilly faces an impossible dilemma: free her husband or release the evil beast, Stygian, who she knows will destroy the world. The ancient earth spirit, Denali, bears witness to the bloody battle as magicians confront the evil Brethren during a blinding blizzard of snow and jagged ice.

But the vanquished don't always die.
