“Hear me, mortal—for my voice spans time itself. I am the Vulture, the narrator of this story: ancient, eternal, and omniscient. I exist in the Fold, a place beyond human reach, recording history with eyes of molten gold.”
In a myth-making epic that rivals Frank Herbert’s Dune in scope and presents a provocative philosophy as radical as Robert Heinlein’s Stranger in a Strange Land, Sean Sayers tells the story of Eden, Elysium, and Atlantis, and the Gods and Men who exist in a millennia-spanning quest for technological and spiritual enlightenment.
The Vulture chuckled. “Humanity possesses the freedom to choose from the paths laid before them. There is always good and bad, right and wrong. You have the freedom to select a challenging or an easy path, but the Fates construct the roads; they shape the paths you traverse.”
But before humanity can complete its transformation, Gods must battle Gods, and the legendary Hoplite Battalion must confront the menace of the Konaki, twisted child-demons who lure innocents to a merciless death. There are many theories about the abrupt change in the direction of humanity 12,000 years ago.
We would have never known the truth if it weren’t for The Transmission. The discovery was made at a place called Hoplite Ridge. The Transmission gave us more than a forgotten history. It gave us the stories of those who were able to escape Elysium. Their story—the story of Hoplite Ridge—tells us that they are the foundations of our myths, religion, and culture.
