Blurb

Beyond the scope of Earthly perception ancient forces have been waiting, prowling out in the further reaches of the multiverse. Now however the time has come for plans put in place from the dawn of human history to be set in motion.

Philip Quint has always been different, able to do and know things beyond immediate explanation, all the while unquestioning of these abilities.
