Who are the Grand Masters?
The twelve
Grand Masters on the Council are the most powerful entities in the galaxy, or
so they claim. Their psychic powers are immense and secret.
At the
beginning of Book 1, Grand Master’s Pawn, much of the information about the
Grand Masters is unknown. The new pawn, Violet, learns about them through her
empathic sense and conversations with the other pawns. Finally, she meets her
Grand Master, Athanor, and two others. Exposure to a Grand Master’s power can
be lethal to ordinary people. Fortunately, Violet is protected by her secret
psychic power.
During Book
2, Grand Master’s Game, Violet meets all of the Grand Masters on the Council.
She learns their names, auras and some of their emblems. Some are her allies,
others are deadly enemies. The twelve Grand Masters include six humans, male
and female, and six aliens. We will learn more about the aliens in Book 3.
Human
Grand Masters
Nathan, Lord
of Lightning, is the Chair of the Council. His eyes flash green psi fire and
his emblem is a bolt of lightning. He is proud and dominates the Council.
Pashtari
Hanuman, is the oldest of the Grand Masters. He has a benign face, like a
Buddha, and yellow-white aura. His emblem is a white monkey. Hanuman is the
monkey-faced Hindu god.
Morrigu, the
Red Queen, is a prominent adversary in the books. She has four arms and
strawberry blonde braids in a hideous amalgam of Celtic and Hindu mythology.
Red is her psi color and her avatar is a red cobra, poised to strike.
Garron
Lionheart has a handsome face with golden hair and blue eyes. His emblem is the
lion rampant.
Ravaleen,
the Meilai of Marina, is a green skinned woman with flaming green eyes and
turquoise hair. She is as beautiful as a fairy queen.
Athanor
Griffin is the youngest of the Grand Masters. He attended the Terran Space
Academy at the same time as Violet’s parents. He has a hooked nose, long black
hair and glowing blue eyes. His emblem is the griffin rampant. Athanor took a
risk when he selected Violet as his pawn because her father prophesied the doom
of the Council of Twelve Grand Masters.
Alien
Grand Masters
Radjuser
resembles an orange octopus. He emits orange slime and psi fires. He was killed
at the end of Book 1.
Amarylla
Threeleaf is a planetoid alien. She has three pink petals and trailing roots.
Her aura is pink and her emblem is a trefoil.
Umloa
Thundercloud is an amoeboid, a semi-transparent green blob filled with bubbles.
Baxicki is a
brown insectoid with six thin legs.
Eziz looks
like a bunch of dry twigs with dots of gold eyes at the tips.
Sulkar is a
yellow pebble covered with undulating filaments.
How can you become a Grand Master?
To achieve
the status of Grand Master involves:
1. An
inherited potential for psi talent.
2. Training
to control your talent, since nascent psi powers can be erratic.
3. An
initiation ordeal. The details are secret, although not everyone will survive
the horrid ritual.
Blurb
“The
Council of Twelve will be destroyed.” Prophesy of Frank Hunter.
Young
empath, Violet Hunter, travels the galaxy on missions for her mysterious Grand
Master using the vast web of teleportals. Life-threatening cracks appear in the
portals and Violet agrees to investigate the disruptions. When she discovers
the perpetrator comes from within the ranks of the Twelve Grand Masters, Violet
penetrates their curtain of secrecy to fulfill her task. Armed with only her
erratic powers and a mishmash of allies, she must challenge the most powerful
beings in the galaxy.
