Josiah bar Judah has always been a dreamer, though it is his capacity to discover deeper truths within the mystery of music that has drawn the attention of the Patriarchal Council. The young Hebrew boy has been told that his people once were a great nation, chosen and loved by Elohim Himselfbut that was before The Forgetting. The Age of Miracles had long past, and his fellow Israelites now toil under the oppression of the Pharaoh, constructing the "Grand Palisade" in defense against an unseen army from the east; a massive invasion prophesied by the Divine Oracle. Yet despite their difficult circumstances, Josiah finds seeds of hope among his fellow Hebrews; the rediscovery of an Old Covenant has revealed the promise of a Messiah who will deliver the People of Elohim from their bondage. And now, a mysterious yet elusive soul dwells among thema man known as Orpheus, also called "Song Bearer". Many believe that he himself is the "Anointed One", while some whisper that he is none other than the fallen Prince Corban, a quasi-legendary figure who lost the favor of the Pharaoh in the midst of the Great Tribulation.As war looms on the horizon, the Hebrew people struggle to discover where mythology ends and reality begins. Are the stories and teachings in The Writingstales of men called Adam, Abraham, and Mosesmere folklore and analogy? Or does mankind possess a history marked by his tumultuous yet persevering relationship with its Creator?Through this christening fire, a Divine Canticle, composed before the beginning of time, seeks a temporal venue, with humanity itself serving as the chosen instrument of this universaland finalOpus of the Eternal Sovereign.
