A call from a young woman he barely knows catapults Myron Kenichi Watson, his fiancée Carole and his sister Alice into a desperate struggle for the survival of the human population of a far-distant world called Éhofen.
Éhofen – a people shrouded in legend and mystery, past masters of the physical and mental sciences – people whom the humans of Earth only dimly remember in legend, in folklore, in myth –
Elves
Assassinations, both foiled and successful, are but the least of his worries as Myron learns about the Éhofen people, as are tasks of debugging and restarting their globe-spanning artificial intelligence that has been under attack, paralyzed for nearly 1,000 years. More difficult is how to inspire the people of a Monarchy gone stale to accept outside assistance from the very people whom the Éhofen have for millennia avoided and mistrusted. Revolution is in the air as ambitious politicians seek power, their world’s population slowly dies, their Monarch retreats into apathy, and their government can look forward only to extinction from the effects of an ancient biological weapon progressively weakening their genes.
But nothing can approach the challenges faced when an enigmatic presence, an ancient and fully telepathic, highly intelligent entity living in the very soil of the Coastal Province, chooses Myron, his fiancée Carole, and Élowynn Carmischal, Heir to the Throne of Éhofen, to be its representatives to the people of the Coastal Province -- and what that will do to his approaching marriage.
