If you could live forever, would you want to? For some that is not a question, but an invitation to a land of dreams – a place where the power of one’s own Will is manifested to be as real and as magical as the touch of rainfall or as destructive as a wildfire. Upon the turn of a century, initiates are called to serve “The Cycle” and rise to immortality. Now on the path to ascension himself, though he struggles to remember why, Derek Harkson journeys through the trials of the immortals where failure could mean death or far worse. When conspired against by timeless beings of an ancient order, gods, devils, and a monster that makes all others tremble at the mere mention of its name… Derek wonders if he and the other initiates even stand a chance of surviving.
