Tapestry of Selves is a bewitching trilogy with a unique range of characters unlike any you have ever met. If you enjoy heart-stirring fantasy that colors outside the lines and explores the wild unknown of human experience, then you will treasure this poignant tale of partnership, hope, and the strong magic of dreams and far-reaching love. PRAISE FOR WILDING SOULS (from first edition): "Strong and stylistically confident in this debut novel, Ana Cristina Caelen wraps a charming ensemble and warmly-imagined locales in long, lyrical sentences that layer and snug like fabric." — IndieReader "Something that makes Wilding Souls extra special is its character development. From the start, Aine and Bartho are intriguing and relatable, their relationship very moving." — Electra Nanou , Book Breath Blog "Wilding Souls is a magical mystery tour: the intertwining characters share a rich blend of Buddhist philosophy, dreamwork, herbal and sound healing, and dance and music therapy. Ana Cristina Caelen creates a compelling, uplifting narrative about ever-deepening consciousness, vulnerability, trust, intimacy and love—among humans, water, trees, mountains, titans and even dragons!" — Ginger Clarkson, Author of I Dreamed I Was Normal "A cleverly plotted fantasy populated with fully developed and often memorable characters. A FINALIST and highly recommended!" —The Wishing Shelf Book Awards Excerpt from Wilding Souls: "I can no longer deny the pounding want brewing deep within my heart. The longing for fire. For life reborn. For textures upon textures of history to come undone and be woven back together. Because even though it has been forsaken and disgraced as a mortal weakness for centuries too long to count, in the end—longing, not knowledge—reveals to us the paths which seem impossible."   —Nyamar (The Seer)
