Thousands of years ago, mankind had a close spiritual relationship with their gods. But when they began seeing the world through wicked eyes - when they stopped worshipping the gods, and lived in fear and distrust - man fell out of favor with the gods. And when the statue of the goddess Bachué was stolen and a life taken, the gods cursed the people. What was once a paradise had become a world of good versus evil, a world that could be unpredictable and cruel. In present-day New York, Ilene has had a humble upbringing in a loving, close-knit family. Life is good and getting better, but the theft of a family heirloom artifact leaves her family shaken. It’s as if a veil of protection has been lifted, leaving the family vulnerable and exposed to life’s miseries. Ilene needs to find answers before the next generation inherits “The Curse”, and the descendants of the Guardians and the World Trekkers must come together to right a wrong that mankind brought upon itself thousands of years earlier.
