The time is now.

The world is in turmoil. Elias Girawong, Earth Wizard and knowledge keeper must act. His ceremony, calling the thirteen, heralds a long overdue change to shake the foundations of life itself.

But there are those who covet power beyond reason.

Each of the thirteen "called" have their assigned roles. Each of them must travel to join the circle of thirteen. Each of them face the challenge of their journey and the will and power of those who would thwart them.

Valda Balaz has been groomed by the machine. Thrust into positions of power since birth, she is trained to be ruthless. When Elias performs his ceremony, Valda must take decisive action to stop him and stop everything he has put into motion.

The Church, corporations, medical sovereignty, inter-dimensional realities, magic, medicines and a fast approaching star create an epic story which reflects the world we face today.

One path brings balance, peace and freedom underpinned by love. The other plunges it into a darkness from which it might never emerge.

First-time author Peter Walker draws you into a world where change is inevitable and every soul has a role to fulfil.
