Overview

Welcome to a mythological dream time in which nothing quite makes sense, yet everything has a logic of its own. Powerful goddesses linger behind the curtains-one has brushed her fingertips over your eyes, laden with an opiate like bee pollen on a summer's day...

...You are about to fly on the wings of Parnassus to a realm where the empty tombs of the Etruscans are filled with sunlight; where the Seven Hills of Rome are wild and barren, filled with wildmen before their golden age; and where heroes and gods, warriors and goddesses, clash on the fields of history and mythology. You will meet figures of myth and history, like a beautiful princess imprisoned in a tower after being raped by the War God. She gave birth to twin sons swaddled by Fate in tragedy. One murders the other, and the killer founds Rome. His legacy includes a defiled cemetery that must forever by ritually cleansed, day after day, for over a thousand years, so Rome may survive.

Two Egyptian scribes maintain the library in which the Sibyl's scrolls are hidden. They are what Darwin is after. Emperors and goddesses would kill to possess them. Darwin desires their knowledge. Amalthea guards their secrets. You need them as your only ticket home from a journey that is both wonder and nightmare. Welcome to the quest for the Sibyl's Urn. You are not the first. You will not be the last. But will it be your last adventure? Turn the pages and find out. But have care...
