Otherworldly magic collides with modern times, and the fate of two worlds hangs in the balance
Cal MacDonnell is a happily married New York City cop with a loving family. Seth Raincrest is a washed-up photographer who has alienated even his closest friends. The two have nothing in common — except that they both suffer from retrograde amnesia. It’s as if they just appeared out of thin air thirteen years ago, and nothing has been able to restore their memories. Now their forgotten past has caught up to them with a vengeance.by Edward Lazellari

Otherworldly magic collides with modern times, and the fate of two worlds hangs in the balance
Cal's and Seth’s lives are turned upside down as they are stalked by otherworldly beings who know about the men's past lives. But these creatures aren't here to help; they're intent on killing anyone who gets in their way. In the balance hangs the life of a child who might someday restore a broken empire to peace and prosperity. With no clue why they're being hunted, Cal and Seth must accept the aid of a strange and beautiful woman who has promised to unlock their secrets. The two must stay alive long enough to protect their loved ones, recover their true selves — and save two worlds from tyranny and destruction.
Good or bad, when trying a new author half the fun is the anticipation. Only the author can ruin what seems to be one hell of a read by delivering a heaping, steaming, turd. But until then I live in hope that this will be as advertised, awesome.
