Wow, what a journey it’s been. I can’t believe we have come to the end of the Seer Series. We started with a simple girl, born into unusual circumstances, unaware of the journey that lay ahead of her. A soldier who thought his life was mapped out, blind to the love and adventure that was in store. A group of rebels learning to see the light, connecting with spirit, remembering their true identities, and following the guiding words of a desert man named Aaron.

Now the final installment of thei...
