The unlikely hero of this fantastic tale, "an ordinary", is alerted to the plight of a young girl by her scream which he picks up across the cosmic flux. His response leads him into a horrifying confrontation with the noxiously evil warlord Myparan, and sets in motion a train of events both amazing and terrifying. With the help of a member of the "elite", the hero rescues survivors of Myparan's collapsing empire and they become part of his quartet of friends. But the young girl, a mere "fluttering creature", remains trapped. When the friends set out to rescue her, they are assailed by an unidentifiable foe; the days of combat are not over. This adventure takes the reader to the mysterious realm of "mind-space" and an incredible world of time capsules, magic stone circles and supernatural powers. The author uses words so effectively that the action passes seamlessly from this world to the physical world with which we mortals are more familiar. The prose flows as smoothly as the plot and the tension is sustained until the very end. Are the friends able to make their way through the labyrinth of secrets that surround their enemy? Will evil finally be vanquished?
