The Legend of El Shashi A fantasy tale with an unusual, challenging plot,  The Legend of El Shashi  follows the story of a man who betrays his friend to a sorceress. The sorceress curses him with great power - the power to heal with a touch. But his every healing feeds her burrowing, ravaging Wurm, a storehouse of magic which she will use to her own evil ends.

At once an exploration of the power of miraculous healing on the human condition, the impact of grief and redemption on a selfish man, and the dangers, limits, and uses of power, The Legend of El Shashi  is a story that will stick with you long after you turn the last page. Come and experience The Legend of El Shashi  on Amazon now.
