Synopsis

The reader is introduced to our world in terminal societal decline with self-determination swept away by sovereign individuals using AI to control and profit. Unable to marshal mitigation, a fractured world is plunged into climate Armageddon taking all of those still alive into a new primitive world where survival is all.

Into this dystopian nightmare two strange mysterious others appear and form two opposing Cults in what remains of a heat ravaged Scotland. One, the alluring Penumbra is a siphon for wrongdoing and bent on evil and corruption. She is the Star Bringer, accompanied by her dark Shadow. The other, Aether the Unicorn Queen seeking goodness and her partner Zear a unicorn. With the Star Masters for the dark and the Star Sisters for the good.

Into this epic conflagration comes Airna the Star Born fighting for the light. Her quest is to eradicate the Shadow, a device deployed by the Watchers for the promotion of evil and to feed their endless craving for entertainment and for the dark.

The saga culminates in a battle of galactic dimensions with Airna pulling down her massive powers through the magical conduit of the ancient standing stones of the Ring of Brodgar on the island of Orkney and the brightest magical star in our skies, Arcturus.
