When civilisation has been destroyed, what rules do you follow?
A cataclysmic pole shift has reduced the Earth almost back to stone age times. It has taken decades to claw back much of the Old Order technology, and that has not always led to progress in the right direction.
The story unfolds in an unforgiving terrain populated by humanoid products of genetic engineering, newly evolved creatures and two diverse cults, one that has perfected the art of telepathy and the other the manipulation of energy and an unquestioning belief in their farseer’s prophecies.
A community of scientists and traditionalist makes for an oasis of calm, but this calm is temporary. Saffy, one of its most prominent members,
and her step-sister, Varney, are taken captive by an escaped prisoner and his companion, a high priest of one of the sects. This sets in motion a kaleidoscope of events in which Saffy faces physical, mental and emotional challenges that take her almost to breaking point.
Everything she holds true is challenged. Can she piece together the shards of truth and so unravel the meaning behind The Glass Knight prophecy?
Written in an easy style with a dry sense of humour, this novel has many layers for you to unravel.
