Bombs destroyed all the major cities of the world almost two centuries ago. The bombs opened rifts. Magic and "myst" flowed into the world. Electronic devices no longer work. Only simple mechanical devices. Man learned to farm again, in curving rows that "myst" can't gather in. For decades, the "myst" has gained strength slowly. Destroyed people, fields, villages a little at a time. Because the "myst" is scattered, unfocused. When the "myst" finds its champion, will man survive?
