Hadrian Pollard’s New Book The Water Dancer has been published. Check THIS out:

Water flows from her feet as Manna stands suspended upon Streyma Lake. She is one of the gifted few, a Water Dancer, who can restore fresh water to a parched land. Just as she has earned her place among the Dancers of Streyma, violence tears her home asunder. The neighboring sect of Estolt, emboldened by the discovery of a weapon called fire-dust, storm her village and claim the Lake for themselves. Manna flees to the Deadlands, seeking an ancient wisdom that just might hold the key to ending the conflict between peoples once and for all.The Water Dancer combines sweeping epic fantasy with spiritual poetry, magic and political conflict, radicalization and the quest for peace.

Hadrian Pollard is a teacher and doctoral student in North Carolina. He is a Subud child who has found his most powerful moments of spirituality in both creative pursuits and connections with people. The Water Dancer is his first attempt at writing a full length novel. It ruminates on matters of the spirit, forgiveness, and the environment. The process of writing this book not only taught him about story, but also helped him learn more about himself and the world around him.
