When a second sun rises over the world of Masfield, it can mean only one thing--someone was born that would change the world so drastically that no life would go unaffected—and so, leaving the whole world holding its breath in anticipation and fear.

And that is where Carom’s story begins… * * * * * By no means new, this book and those following are part of a work almost fifteen years in creation. Originally meant to be three novels, the story has grown to epic scale and, while the conclusion is still years away, it was about time to let it begin.
