Reality is an illusion…

And Joshua Triplow is just your average kid living in what he believes is the best place on Earth: Corona, California. Only a recurring nightmare begins to plague him – and all the other kids in the best place on Earth. A nightmare of a man in black… the very same who haunts his father’s tortured childhood.

In the relentless nightly assault on his son, Bob begins to understand that what has been left behind half a world away, in another lifetime, has found a way to thrive… He learns there are no colors but black in a place far over the rainbow and that it continues to hoard the most vulnerable in a wrenching existence.

It is here that Bob will fight for his sanity and Joshua will confront countless lost souls… and a menagerie of clocks maddeningly ticking away the hour to nowhere. To the endless plains of Black Eternity. To nothingness…

The Destroyer of the Math Gate has not been idle in the sun’s turn since he nearly defeated the Fylking, his ancient enemies. Wounded, bitter and bent on reprisal, the immortal warlock has gathered an army. He has acquired a spell that will damage the veil between the worlds. And he is waiting.

Now that the gods have found me… I’m destined to die.

In a game between gods and monsters, my fate is entwined with my heart, and saving Atlantis, saving Poseidon… could mean sacrificing more than my life, but the lives of all the monsters that came before me and all the ones yet to surface.

My name is Aless, and according to Apollo’s prophecy the Dark Gods will rise because of who and what I am.

Hades wants me to join him. Zeus is still bitter about an age-old prophecy that the dark gods, the monsters of Tartarus, will rule Olympus. And Poseidon is the key to everything, maybe even my heart, but his son, Triton, rules Atlantis, and I accidentally killed his daughter, Coraline.

Can I save myself, let alone the future of Atlantis from the coming war between the gods?
