Earth Shifter bundle: The Earth Shifter + Catharsis, Legend of the Lemurians

2-book Earth Shifter Bundle: THE EARTH SHIFTER novel + its companion-prequel novelette short, Catharsis, Legend of the Lemurians.  THE EARTH SHIFTER Being a Time and Mind Shifter, Sasha can hardly be called a normal 16-year-old. Yet even her mentor, the Earth Keeper and famous Siberian shaman Tengis, can only guess how far her powers will develop when the time comes to create the Earth Shift! Prophecy of the Key: "When human civilization reaches a crucial threshold, the Key of Destiny appears to open the coveted door into a future of magical potential.
It did happen once before... like it's about to happen now... Except, this new Key is unique and precious, even by the Cosmic Key of Destiny standards. Both yin and yang, assertive and gentle, male and female, its perilous path is fraught with mystical discovery and mortal danger, as many powerful and ruthless forces line up to prevent the Key from fulfilling its destiny."  It's happening again: Comet of Karma sent to destroy a failing civilization; Earth Keepers agonizing over the ultimate decision; Protectors risking their lives to keep the world intact; Shifters, with power over mind, matter, time, and space. And three teenagers, two of whom are born to become the all-important Key of Destiny-if they manage to come together on time! The Earth Shifter is a prophetic mystical thriller, steeped in a massive conspiracy to control the world by a group of powerful and ruthless individuals who remain in the shadows, as entire reality hangs in the balance and the forces of light try to stop the disaster.   Set on sacred Lake Baikal in Eastern Siberia, in Moscow and New York, The Earth Shifter is filled with a cool cast of characters, punctuated with twists and wrapped in a fabric of mystical revelations, remote viewing and spy games, a taste of time travel and Siberian shamans...
and the upper and lower worlds, populated with magical beings, whose true power is vast and whose interference may change everything! Intended for a broad audience: young readers to adults of all ages.  CATHARSIS, Legend of the Lemurians Before recorded history, since times immemorial, the Earth Keepers have been watching over our planet. Marked at birth and endowed with supreme powers, the nine chosen ones are the Earth's record keepers and moderators, and when the time comes, ultimate decision makers.?This is the first of their chronicles.?The population of the red planet Catharsis, on the outskirts of the Andromeda Galaxy, is exceedingly beautiful. But Catharsians harbor a terrible secret, which they are ashamed to admit even to themselves.
The thing is, they have to share the planet with another race, which they call the Uglies, although the Uglies themselves prefer to be called Lemurians. Alas, no one on Catharsis cares what the Uglies prefer. Being ugly is considered a contagious disease, and the Uglies are herded into a special reservation, called Camp Ugly, where they live out their drudgery behind a tall electric fence. The Uglies' Elders watch over their ultimate treasure, an enormous Lemurian Mother Crystal, the crystalline engine believed to be holding the planet Catharsis together. And so, both races co-exist without much interaction-one in their large and beautiful homes, the other in their tiny huts behind tall electric fence...
until the ultimate disaster strikes and the Universal Karma activates... What new destiny lies in store for the Lemurians? We are about to find out.
