Update
Paul Wood is a modern vagabond, a man who chooses to leave the comforts of San Francisco to spend months backpacking through some of the world's most challenging terrain. While hiking in the Himalayas, Paul gets more of a rush than he bargained for when he finds the body of a murdered hiker - mutilated in a way he has witnessed once before, in Africa, years ago and thousands of miles away.
The police in Nepal, anxious to quell a scandal, close the case and declare the victim a suicide. Only Paul is left to search for answers. He reaches out to his farflung tribe of fellow backpackers for help, and his discoveries lead him to a terrible conclusion: a killer is stalking the international backpacker trail, preying on victims in wild places far beyond the reach of any authorities. A killer whom Paul may already know.
Finding the murderer becomes an obsession that leads Paul from Himalayan peaks, through the jungles of Indonesia, across the bleak Sahara desert -- and into some of the darkest places imaginable...
Dark Places won the 2005 Arthur Ellis Award for Best First Novel.
Reviews
"You're hooked ... the characters are delightfully delineated ... beautifully controlled ... Evans contrives to slip the necessary specialist net-head detail into the plot without being boring or patronising. He can also pin down a character with a few details deftly brushed in ... A pacy thriller for the 21st century." - The Times
"Anyone would enjoy Evans' clever, relentlessly absorbing debut thriller that becomes a lot more than just another serial-killer mystery." - The Ottawa Citizen
"In this haunting suspense debut, Evans takes the reader on a page-turning adventure across five continents ... (a) spooky, inventive tale." - Publishers Weekly

The Variety of Creation
The story is about a girl named Levina. Levina has her own Inn where traveling magicians come to rest and intervene with others in the meantime to share information. Levina has learned a lot of spells after a number of years, protecting the Inn and building a reputation for being the safest Inn to consult throughout the country.Levina is exceptional with magic, and is asked to go to the Magical Academy. She leaves the Inn in the hands of an Elf named Sera and she goes to the academy. She only has 2 goals: learn as much as she can about magic, and figure out why she can not hurt people.Her magic wand is cursed with a spell that her mother put on it when she passed on the staff to Levina on her dying day. She can not hurt anyone or she will get back the pain twice as hard. This also applies to hurting with words, hitting, etc.But when she comes to the academy, she discovers that this is going to be harder than expected. The teachers and the headmaster do not know what the curse is, and have never seen anything like it. However, this is a common thing for Levina, because she can not only use wizard magic, but also that of other magical beings. And that is something that even other beings and no magical being can ever do in the history of magic.The combination between the knowledge and possibilities in magic, and the inability to hurt living beings, makes Levina an easy target for a group of dark magicians who work for a dark wizard called Edarin.And even though the intentions and goals of Edarin are unknown, everyone can guess that it can't be goodA/N:I use some pictures in my story.
