Felim Blake has a dream as a child as a result of which he becomes haunted throughout his adult life by the conviction that he has been commuted to a parallel universe. Partly because of this belief and frustrated with his mediocre and faltering career, he becomes jaded, embittered and destructive causing ripples of discord in an otherwise wonderful marriage to his beautiful wife Iseulte. He decides, while on a motorcycle trip, to write a book of his life as it was and how he would like it to become. He then builds a circle of standing stones on a magical glade and then the book becomes a spell, an extraordinary incantation that takes a grip on his life. Felim becomes thrilled at first, then terrified, then remorseful as events take place that create a mortal rift between him and Iseulte. He continues to write in the hope that he will be restored to his rightful universe and with his lost love. Little does he know, at that time, that terrifying answers await unasked questions while Felim is on his quest.
