“Myers’ analysis confronts our very raison d’etre against our uncertain times. He asks the questions that most prefer not to ask.”

Michael York, Professor of Theology, Bath Spa University.

“Masterfully weaving together a rich world of mythos, Myers follows in the footsteps of the great fantasy storytellers of our time—Martin and Tolkien—but he does it on his own terms, bringing new twists and turns.

L.M. Browning, author of The Nameless Man and The Castaway Children.
