CLAIR 2


Book Description

A little more than twenty years ago a life altering event took place in the lives of Dorthy and Jeff Oswald. It was when their daughter Clair appeared from nowhere right before their eyes in the form of a floating puddle of water, and from there transforming into an infant. And for nearly sixteen years they didn’t have any ideas as to who she was or her place of origin or why she came. But a day before Clair’s sixteenth birthday a startling discovery was made; it was when Clair and her best friend Synovia had stumbled upon a mysterious shop. And on the inside was elderly woman name Astrid. Who possessed an extraordinary ability which enabled her to see into the future. And the very moment they entered the shop Astrid informed them that Clair was from one of the five spiritual lands which existed between our world and the Seventh Heaven, and that Clair’s presence on earth was a threat to mankind, so she must return to her own land. After they heard Astrid’s foolish claim they immediately walked out. Then last than an hour later Synovia returned alone to seek an apology for her friend. But during her revisited she didn’t receive an apology, instead Astrid opened her eyes. Now five years later the real reason why Clair descended will be revealed, and the true threats to mankind have finally reared their heads. But the only way of defeating these enemies is hidden deep inside an ancient labyrinth that Synovia must solve if mankind is to survive. And with time running out Synovia will need some help from Astrid who holds certain clues to the puzzle. She will also need the help of Dorthy Oswald because she has an unbreakable connection with her daughter even though Clair has returned to her land.
