***
Moses, a poor boy accused of murder and banished to Elisium, finds out that exactly a loop (441 years) ago, on the same day, Solomon, a young prince running from his father's murderers landed in Aden and transformed the whole world, and now Moses has to do the same.
However, an explorer has made Moses's daunting task near impossible by unearthing the portal connecting the two worlds and discovering that everything that exists on one planet has its exact copy on the other, including humans. When the people of the two worlds created identical by nature meet, they realize they are on opposite ends of the spectrum of development . A conflict ensues where the rising Aden overpowers the stagnating Elisium to start a cycle of exploitation. Now Moses, the supposed reincarnation of Solomon the Conqueror, has to set things right by triggering the Transition - a process that puts one world in the ascendancy at the start of every loop - to bring Elisium on par with Aden. The Transitioner can control elements and show miracles by using the tremendous powers of the Amulet of Transition but these same powers can cause massive destruction as Solomon found out when he blew up Elisium's capital.
To save Elisium and return to his beloved Aden Moses has to defeat Aden's despotic king who, with his huge armies and deadly weapons, is hell-bent on keeping Elisium under his foot. On a fateful afternoon, Aden's forces drive Moses into a corner to end this Dance of Two Worlds forever. Moses, and Elisium's hope, are at gunpoint but destiny has an ace - Jennifer - up its sleeve to realize an unfulfilled destiny and make the two worlds identical, again.
