Description:
Imagine a future that men and women can only dream of. It is a time where a trillion people live under the gentle rule of the Assembly on over a thousand inhabited worlds; a time where peace and stability have reigned unbroken for nearly twelve thousand years; a time where war and evil are merely ancient history.
Now imagine what happens when, on Farholme – a Made World at the very edge of the Assembly – strange things begin to happen. A girl sees an impossible creature, a stranger from Ancient Earth comes in answer to a troubling vision and people begin to say, do and think things that oppose everything the Assembly st
Imagine a future that men and women can only dream of. It is a time where a trillion people live under the gentle rule of the Assembly on over a thousand inhabited worlds; a time where peace and stability have reigned unbroken for nearly twelve thousand years; a time where war and evil are merely ancient history.
Now imagine what happens when, on Farholme – a Made World at the very edge of the Assembly – strange things begin to happen. A girl sees an impossible creature, a stranger from Ancient Earth comes in answer to a troubling vision and people begin to say, do and think things that oppose everything the Assembly stands for. And slowly, incredulously, a handful of men and women come to recognise the unthinkable: evil has returned, and that, once more, it must be fought.
