Publisher's Synopsis
It is the year 2488, hundreds of years after the fall of America. What's left of the nation is shrunken by rising tides and ravaged by lawlessness, broken up into small fiefdoms and city states. Citizens of these kingdoms look back on our time as medieval Europeans looked at the Roman Empire, a time of magical technology and political stability. Two young men-Paul Girard, a recent graduate of a seminary in a theocratic state surround the Great Lakes, and Alex Taiyo, an eleven-year-old boy in the Republic of California with powerful psychic gifts-set out on journeys that will change their lives and set into motion events that will alter the future of the world.
