What would you do to keep from losing the one thing you can't live without? What would you sacrifice? Who would you sacrifice? This is the question, the dilemma that faces Gabriel Rosier. Although he is a talented teacher of forensic anthropology, Gabriel's life, his passion, is music. When he is called in by law enforcement to examine some unusual skeletal remains wrapped in cocoon like shrouds with their hands missing, Gabriel has no idea his life is about to be thrown into chaos. Unbeknownst to Gabriel, his hands have been infected with a "force" a painful, powerful energy that changes his life forever. As he slowly loses everything that holds meaning to him, he discovers he has been chosen to lead a strange, ancient Order called "The Threshold of Anu." Gabriel is misled to believe that the Order is benevolent and it is nearly too late when he finds out the terrible truth...the real reason he was chosen. But Gabriel is up against more than he could possibly imagine and he is forced to believe in things he did not think possible.
