Siblings Hunter, Brigham and Connie love to spend their winter break with their Grandparents. A typical outing to the farm leads to an unexpected turn of events and the children are transported to a place from their story books. The land of Valdrial is no stranger from visitors in times of trouble. But this time, things have changed. Prayer and religion have been banned by the Emperor since the last time Valdrial had visitors. The Emperor has burned all religious books, he has killed all known priests and false preachers roam the land teaching the dangers of faith. All this has left a land full of fear and suspicion.
In their search for a way home, the children meet, Farmer Gus, an exile that has been waiting for the return of these visitors. With the help of a Farmer Gus's animal friends, Hunter, Brigham and Connie become entangled in a quest to teach the people to have faith again, to stop a false priest and prevent a war from ravaging the land.

Almighty Beings: Beings of Chaos
"My purpose was clear, my power absolute, my senses attuned to the subtle symphony of sin and suffering. But then... an inexplicable anomaly shattered the familiar cadence of my reality. A soul, inexplicably pilfered from my very grasp, led me to a creature of unbridled chaos, a being unlike any I have ever encountered. Her scent, her very touch, assails my senses and twists my being into an unfamiliar, agonizing torment. My ancient wrath, once a formidable instrument of order, now battles against an overwhelming, inexplicable pull. I pursue answers with relentless intent, striving to categorize her, to understand the source of this disquieting influence that threatens my control and the very fabric of my existence. I am left to question if I am truly losing my millennia-honed grip, or if this creature is, indeed, the most exquisite form of chaos I am doomed to endure."Complete
