Before the firmament breathed life into legend, man was alone, watching the skies. After the heavens returned man’s gaze, all were fearful, fleeing that which was long sought. Revelation, destruction, and rebirth – a cycle exposed in noble fashion, with light coloring the air in crimson-red hues. It was an unheard of omen bearing unknown consequences. As kingdoms rose, empires fell, and the gods were blamed. Such became normal on Atmos, where the line between reality and dreams had long been blurred.

This is the story of Atmos’s northern continent, just before a period of hardship. An unusual time of peace was preserved despite a bloody history, yet hidden forces rebel against it, vying for power during a critical time of change. As one boy would come to understand, few would be safe from what was to come.

In a new world, the center of mankind's greatest civilization holds an indispensable gift known as the Dream Engine. This machine holds the records of old in the form of visions that can be shared directly with anyone. All chronicled events can be viewed by anyone who wishes it, but a problem has occurred. The Dream Engine now forces these visions onto people, inserting fragments of antiquity into the dreams of many. Every bestowed experience then disappears from record as if it never existed. Panic ensues, as the valued history of man slips through the fingers of every dreamer in the vicinity. All are encouraged to document and submit what they witness, but the accounts are messy, and an even greater issue has emerged. Within the Dream Engine, there is evidence of sabotage.

Second Album Launched

I have just published the album for the second book, which I ultimately had to split into two volumes because my website builder will not let me go beyond 30 songs per album. The included lyric booklet will keep the original order of the tracks, with 32 total songs. Pricing for each album will start at eight dollars, averaging fifty cents per song as mentioned before. I would also encourage anyone downloading Plight of the Gods to combine the albums in your own music folder, though I cannot force this. It is simply that while I did split the tracks at a good point, the tracks are still part of one continuous narrative. Once again, the music is free to listen to on the website before making a purchase.

Work on the third album will begin in the next few days, though I am tempted to work on redoing the book series trailer utilizing a song made specifically for it. I will have to see how my time is best utilized. Until then, happy listening!
