Mouse lives in a richly woven Age of seers, senders, prophets, Principle Families and powerful Ladies. Fighting to remain visible, he hides his ability to see into the minds of others -- the myriad manifestations of thoughts, emotions, regrets and the smoldering complexities of human betrayal. As a new Evil sweeps the landscape it twists human minds into a horrifying compliance. Hope for the Age lies in the choices Mouse is reluctant to make. He must give up his anonymity and channel his powers to join with forces beyond any he has known. Together their combined strength and summoned allies may yet defeat the unremitting, overwhelming advance of Evil. We learn much about the intricacies of humans minds and their secret interactions as we join Mouse on his vital mission of love, compassion and salvation.
