On countless worlds across countless plains of possibility, there exists some form of humanity, of people, and they all share the same creators, a race of beings older than time and of unknown origin called the Sojourners. These omni terrestrial pioneers literally seed the universe with life, and as they go they leave behind a number of their own to guide the process of evolution and, through reincarnation, leap frog through time and pass along the history of each generation to the next line of Sojourner elementals.
Yet there was one Sojourner who looked at what it had created and saw nothing but inferior bastard offspring, not children to be nurtured, but thralls to be ruled. It broke off from the Sojourner religion and rebelled against it. It became known only as the Other. And so, across the multiverse of time and space, there was war between the Other and the Sojourners. And now the war has come to Earth.
Three people – a Bengali mystic, the son of an African shaman, and a prodigy turned schizophrenic who sees things people shouldn’t see – become caught up in the life of a man who started life as a gifted, loved and loving child, but who through a tragic acccident of Fate was usurped by the essence of an evil, ancient and unforgiving, and sets forth on a mission of destruction. It is up to the Sojourner faithful, few in number, to find among them the power to overcome the Other and by doing so, forever change the lives of those either fortunate - or unfortunate - enough to be close to them.
