1100 years into our future, in a culture where your ear buds are constantly fed the latest government sludge, one man is asked to venture into a wilderness. A wilderness where technology is anathema, and where he must learn to think his own thoughts again. It's the year 3115, and Priest-Applicant Justice Preston is sent to the ancient home of the Jamari to research his life and miracles.
His boyfriend and guide introduces him to the people known as the Tuatha De Cernon. Stagmen. Fauns. Satyrs. Pixies, dryads, nymphs and others. These people have come through a portal opened by the legendary Jamari a thousand years before. They've been living amongst us in secret for all this time. And he discovers ancient memoirs written by the Sophia Shaman, boon companion to the Jamari. In her own words he finds proof the Church of Jamari has been subverting the teachings of the legend they claim to follow. Any rumor of this discovery will bring the inquisition and the enforcer priests into his life in dangerous and deadly ways. He can turn the fragile relics over to the church knowing they'll never be seen again. Or, he can find a way to make them public and become HERETIC. Cernon, High King of the Tuatha De, wants to use the discovery to entice the church into violating a millennia-old agreement and then have his people come out of seclusion. Justice can choose to be the bait in the trap, or flee into exile with his boyfriend Ian.
Ian, as a practicing shaman, has his own deadly secrets from the church which has long forbidden any spirituality outside the influence of the priests.
In his soul-searching, Justice must choose from so many options and deadly paths he finds it near impossible. But time carries him inevitably into his eventual fate.Also in
