It is only the first of two more to come, making in total the Parables of the 24th Elder Series. Alternate Description: Beyond the dreary skies, which are known well to those in the year 2041, lies the Kingdom of Heavenly Creatures. But for one boy, only 12 but yet quite astute for his age, those same dreary skies part and shine light on the realities from beyond. A new land gives new hope and reveals a glimpse of His plan. Is heaven what Timothy Petrov always envisioned it to be? Yet, aside from the quirky behavior of the creatures beyond, there exists still an order that sheds perspective on the quality of creation. A creation that possesses organization, much like what humans on earth attempt to perfect, only in this case it is without flaw. The three-leveled angelic hierarchy is rather complex, however at the same time it is only the outer shell of an existence that Timothy will soon discover himself to be intertwined with. And as organized as it is, there are still exceptions to be discovered, for the first angelic creature he meets has a special title: Eryana, Arch-guardian of the Elders.
