Synopsis
Suzanne Helling, a young woman in 1980 Los Angeles, is pulled back to the land of Gryylth, where she is known as the warrior Alouzon. After a dream about Solomon Braithwaite, she and his ex-wife Helen Addams return to Gryylth, now eighteen months later. There they investigate the destruction of the town of Bandon by modern weapons, which leads them to the pacifist nation of Vaylle and a threat called the Spectre.
