Testing the knowledge of my readers.
Why? Because it is fun.
I’ll give you an excerpt from on the five books in The Crystal Crux Series and you try to guess which book it is from, which characters are involved and what is happening. I’ll try to change names to “he” or “she” to avoid giving away too many clues.
I will also answer the last test in the next test, so here I will give you the answer to Test #4 before giving you Test #5.
Test #4 was …

This scene is in Shimmer.
Ven of Black Leaves is talking to Pero de Alava in a hilly meadow where there are pylons, makers, graves and such all around them. Pero just experienced a vision, a memory (a flashback), of his pilgrimage to Montserrat with his mother.
There was a child named Miriam with another caravan who was wasting away and dying.
Pero, frustrated and angry, carried her through the barriers preventing her from getting to the Black Madonna.
And now on to Test #5

Let me know if you know who this is and what was happening. What book was it in?
Remember, there is a new novella coming out next week, the first in
The Crystal Crux Novella Series.
