In Futures' Past begins with a clan of people, twelve tribes, who separate themselves from evil by using magic wards and enchanted barriers to divide them from all malevolence. The evil ultimately grows strong enough to penetrate the barriers and forces them to defend their world and create a balance of good and evil. There are many lessons to be learned here about embracing the interactions between good and evil. In Futures' Past is an epic reminiscent of Robert E. Howard, with a few twists.
