As my books in the Quytel Series are starting to come out (watch for the second book – Circle of Flames – due this fall!) I thought I would share with you all the world that my characters are living and loving in. This information will be posted on the Quytel page on my website for easy reference.
For those of you who haven’t read the first book Circle of Dreams, the Quytel Series is set in modern times in the world on Earth as we know it. Living parallel in our reality are shapeshifters, mages, people with psychic and elemental abilities, and the Quytel. The Quytel are an ancient order, filling their ranks with powerful human psychics who bear a specific genetic marker. Those who are chosen 
and survive a lethal initiation process become Quytel. Until they choose to be divested, they are immortal and serve the mission of the Quytel, to maintain the balance of the paranormal on the planet.
Three Judges, three Seekers, seven Warriors and a Commander make a Quytel Circle. The seven Circles are bound to specific geographic territories on Earth.
Judges are the judicial backbone of the Quytel, and although their psychic abilities vary, their most powerful one is truthsense. No one can lie to a judge. Once passed, their justice is swift and severe. Their wisdom and ability to look at the balance of power is invaluable in strategic planning and battle. There are three Judges in each Circle.
Seekers are sent out across the vast territories of each Circle to find, train, and protect psychic humans, culling through their numbers to find those special, powerful few who could one day become Quytel. As with Judges, there are three Seekers in each Circle.
Warriors are the front line of defense for the Quytel. Their abilities are vast and include calling on energy in various forms and the manipulation of minds and bodies.
They are the strong arm of justice. Each Circle has seven Warriors.
They are united by their Commander who maintains the bond that links each member of a Circle to him and to each other.
Each Circle has a center of operations that is located on or very near a specific energetic place of power.
North American Quytel – a mile underground just outside of Sedona, Arizona
African Quytel – a mile underground near the Pyramids at Giza, Egypt
Asian Quytel – underground, just out side of Lhasa, Tibet
