This they must prevent at all cost.

"I've always believed that the longevity and durability of traditional cultures in the face of impossible adversity is testament not only to the strength of the people, but indeed may be seen as a clue to the existence of "magic" in the modern world!" says the author. Mr. Sutton goes on to add "I suppose that learning from the past is something we all need to improve to preserve the way we live -- something that's going to be necessary, quickly!" He went on to explain that in his understanding, mankind has been around for a long, long time, and has had to learn the major lessons of how to make society work, over and over again because the wisdom and knowledge of earlier civilizations seems to always be mislaid or forgotten. "10,000 years ago, ice destroyed whatever had gone before, and a new society had to be built, but maybe some of the lessons from before the ice still exist...somewhere safe, guarded away from the world?" Could our future survival be assured by lost lessons from thousands of years ago? This book, the first of a trilogy of novels, considers this idea and its impact upon people suddenly thrust into unwanted confrontation.
