Time of the Heathen, Vol 1

The Time of the Heathen is an epic, fantasy adventure of an apocalypse not of humanity but of the gods. In the story, a professor J. B. Harkness, as collected a series of myths that tell an improbable tale of the destruction of one civilization by aliens and the founding of another.

This layer of polluted strate is evidence that the fabled, fire catastrophe actually took place in the distant past. Ewan and Alysa, two graduate students in a university, are sent on an epic journey across a natural world filled with dangerous savages, pagans, poets, and priestesses, gods and goddesses who struggle for control and supremacy of the White City. The couple's experiences, their decisions, may unsettle everything you believed about the natural and the supernatural, myth, truth, and the future of humanity.
