Ripples in the winds

Ripples in the winds is a fantasy novel that is as much about what it is to live a life as it is about telling a gripping and fantastic story.
In this fantasy story, there are dream worlds, destructive magic and strange beings and mythical forces that use humans in often frightening ways. In the novel, we meet Ruf, a young man who struggles with insecurity and sleepless nights, but who in mountain climbing finds peace and freedom, until one day he finds a strange hole in the floor of a cave and is struck with inexplicable existential fear. He and a group of ordinary and unusual characters are drawn into a frightening and strange course of events where promises are mixed with threats and feeling lost and confused is often the reasonable reaction. Those who are drawn in struggle both against a looming threat and with their place in the world, as well as with their relationships to each other.
