    About this ebook

    This is tale about how guilt acted as a powerful enough force to transport Mark Rose to a world of beauty, mystery and monsters. The trouble is knowing what or who the true monsters are. As light and dark magic tussle for supremacy, wielded by sorceresses, could there be such a thing as grey magic? Was Mark Rose too far gone along Highway I-28 to ever go back home?
