Meet Rodney, a seven year old boy who can see the spirits of the dead. Meet Justin, a mostly-absent father who still wishes the best for his son. Meet AJ, the bridge between them and commander of the militia forces sent to liberate the community of Sutherlin from their evil overlords.
Go back to the start of the Elk Creek Tribe and visit the Founder and his cohorts as the cataclysm of the Cascadia Subduction Zone quakes have devastated the land. Follow as the tribe fights for survival in a post-apocalyptic world then watch the miracle of shamanism manifest when the Christian taboos are abolished.
Rodney is the Founder's Son, yet the Founder, Justin Earl Knight acts like he doesn't even exist. What does that do to a young boy? Then, when he thinks the worst has passed, the other villages attack. Rodney's talent may be all that stands in the way of destruction when other villages, desperate for survival, seek to take by force what they could have by teamwork instead.
An adventure in strife, war, survival, and human nature at its best and worst.

In the year 3115, Priest-Applicant Justice Preston is sent to the ancient home of the Jamari to research his life and miracles. It seems straight forward until... A church gone rogue. An unexpected discovery of Fae. A murderous bishop.
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.
