Thomas Hunter closes his eyes in the twenty-first century and opens them in a Black Forest two thousand years in the future. Ancient prophecies foretold an apocalypse that destroyed Earth, but Elyon created a new world called Green where the unseen became visible. The evil Teeleh waited in darkness until Thomas arrived, opening a gateway that allowed devastation to spread across the land. Thomas and his Circle fought back against the dark forces, but now they face their greatest crisis. His beloved son Samuel has abandoned him and gathered enemies for a final war. Hope seems lost. Thomas must find a way back to his original reality to discover the one thing that might save both worlds. The fate of Green and everyone Thomas loves hangs in the balance as father and son stand on opposite sides of an ultimate battle.
