Book excerpt: In the dateless past, aeons before we began the recording of history, this story, long-forgotten, was tucked away in the depths of memory. Now, memory stirs . . . The Princes of The North have broken their silence. From the Ancient Ones who once walked this world in that eternal past, comes a breath-taking panorama: an interlude in the arc of courage that makes love possible. An Archangel goes renegade and the Heavenlies tremble. In the beginning, Elohim created the Heavens and the Earth. And there was war in Heaven!
