Biographie:
Somehow, after spending most of his life in the South, Ross Hightower found himself living in Milwaukee and loving it.

That small story grew into his first novel, Spirit Sight. While he anxiously waits for its publication, Ross and Debby, his partner of 34 years, are hard at work on a prequel.

Sommaire:
She sees spirits no one else can. The Empire kills anyone who can. In the isolated village of Fennig, thirteen-year-old Minna has always been different. She alone can see the lan'and-mysterious spirits that drift through the forests and mountains. What once felt like a gift has become a curse. The villagers whisper behind her back. Some now openly call her witch. But Minna is not a witch. She is something far older-and far more dangerous. When her powers awaken, fear spreads through the village. And beyond it. Because the Empire hunts those with the forbidden gift of spirit sight, and once discovered, they rarely escape. Minna's ability may hold the key to ancient secrets long buried. If she can survive long enough to uncover them. Spirit Sight launches an epic fantasy saga of forbidden magic, ancient spirits, and a young girl caught between fear and destiny.
