The Everlasting Spring: Beyond Olympus is an epic trilogy of romance and heroic true love spanning two thousand years in the tumultuous advance of Western Civilization. The Storyteller is an old man who understands and appreciates the heroes and heroines, the saints and sinners, who made world changing history sharing transcendent love and self-sacrifice needed for Western Culture to survive, and create The United States of America.When he was young and foolish naïve and swaggering with false bravado the old man frolicked in the good life and took it for granted, until a cold Christmas Eve when a lovely young woman broke his heart. His soul was frozen in the absence of hope, as the tragic death of romance brought darkness with agony and despair. But the trajectory of his life was altered; blessed by a light so bright he was inspired by the vision, and started to write.He walked with his characters, brave and bold, remembered by historians, some new and some old, and miraculously survived, with few regrets. His life was replete with trials and tribulations of a kind known only by those who dream, daring defeat, and find peace in their passion for truth everlasting.Once called a hero, the old man perished the thought. He knew better people, those who risked everything for true love and equal justice during the dark nights of their souls, and their time in the light. They were immortals, seeking knowledge, with facts, found from deadly experience. Their odyssey's touched all while they followed the sun, the moon and the stars, just as the old man was doing when he met Benjamin and Boudica and four others more, then chronicled their journeysin a corps of discovery to find spiritual treasure the most precious of all.Francis Audrain
