"Shader is a triumph of fantasy!" (Journal of Always) "Derek Prior always produces masterpieces of storytelling, with great characters full of life, relentless plots, and gripping and intense fight scenes." (Mitchell Hogan) When a powerful artifact is stolen from the Abbey of Pardes, the holy knight Deacon Shader is sent to retrieve it. But events have already spiraled out of control: plague spreads across the land, the dead rise from their graves, and an ancient evil has awakened. As Creation itself hangs by a thread, Shader must confront the contradiction that defines him: Either he is a man of prayer with a wavering faith, Or the deadliest warrior of his generation. The fate of all the worlds will be decided by his answer. "Like Bernard Cornwell on 'shrooms!" (Dinorah Wilson) "... an epic fantasy across three books that is wild, fast-paced, has fantastic characters, spreads across countries as well as worlds and religions, and is absolutely one of the best fantasy trilogies in existence." (Melinda LeBaron)

When the world was a much younger place, Lyndon and Helen grew up in an idyllic coastal setting and fell in love. There is nothing unusual about this, except that they experienced this in many past lives. Furthermore, what they perceived as real sometimes did not make any sense, especially in their dreams. Arthur Koestler wrote that dreaming can be seen as “sliding back towards the pulsating darkness, of which we were part before our separate egos were formed.” During the fourth century BC, Plato maintained that what we see and touch is not reality, but only shadows as ethereal as the reflections from a fire in a cave. The illusion of reality is how we comprehend the shadows. But beyond this imperfect perception is Logos, the intangible “collective consciousness,” as Karl Jung once coined, which binds us all and permeates throughout the living cosmos. Here is an idea that the combined experiences and wisdom of all people throughout the ages lie deep like water in the well of the unconscious individual mind. Together, amidst their numerous destinies within the ever-changing interdimensional flux, Lyndon and Helen eventually found their utopia. Here they remain as young lovers, sharing their subliminal reality with us. Is this the stuff of reality, dreams, or madness? As Cervantes declared in Don Quixote, “Maddest of all is to live life as it is and not as it should be.” Perhaps Logos really is the mind of God.
