Book Description

Daniel is a very young man when he is separated from all that he knows and loves. Pulled into a city of innumerable temptations and exalted to a position of power and authority, he fights to keep himself grounded. An ancient sect of Seers the Ma-ji seeks him out. They recognize in him the ability to see farther into the future then anyone else has ever gone, and they know how much the dark forces covet this knowledge. With his three best friends alongside, Daniel must face disappointment in their actions as well as his own. Daniel's dreams led him on a quest for the fabled "Twelve Masks of Life." These masks hold the key to a power that sets minds free. They are the source of creativity on this planet. The created becomes the Creator the control of all future civilizations lies in the balance. Truth becomes skewed and Daniel's innocence will be lost. Daniel is a dreamer, and a dreamer dreams. It is the dark image of unrelenting strength that comes to him, forcing submission on the weak, but it is the meek that shall prevail. Daniel must endure Abed's fall from an unwise path. He must watch as his mentor and spirit-guide is stripped away from this life by those who would use knowledge to further their own personal ends. To know one's place and to fight for the good of all creatures is the journey of the heart.
