While dashing through the airport, four siblings (aged 5 through 15) pass through the wrong gate and find themselves transported to a different place entirely:
the in-between world that links
all the many realms of the cosmos
Even if they wanted to go back to their parents in the real world, that decision is taken out of their hands when the bridge home is destroyed behind them. They have no choice but to move forward and explore the nilands of Overtwixt, strange floating islands linked by countless bridges—stone bridges and rope bridges and winding staircases and soaring arches, every kind of bridge imaginable, and more besides.
And towering above them all, the imposing fortress niland of Twixt itself... where the Vizier rules with an iron fist, turning bridge after bridge into rubble so the peoples of Overtwixtcan never escape.
Confronted with this strange new world—and the evil that threatens to destroy it—the four siblings must answer the same question all new visitors to Overtwixt face:
Who will YOU choose to be?
In pursuit of absolute power, one of the four ruling members of the Pantholon sends his demigod son D'Akaio on a series of missions designed to undermine his rivals; as D'Akaio's fame grows among the common people, so too do the stories told about him (eventually becoming the very legends that informed Norse, Egyptian, and Greco-Roman mythology).
Meanwhile, D'Akaio's half-sister Adana launches her own private war against the Pantholon, working with an underground resistance movement to quietly rescue the women and children who are scheduled for sacrifice before the gods.
Events build toward a confrontation between brother and sister, even as the City and its depraved society speed toward prophesied doom.
But there are those who would halt these preparations: mercenaries and even traitors within the ranks. What motivates them to betray their world is unknown, but they will stop at nothing to prevent the newest branch of United States military from fulfilling its mandate.
From the shadows of rural England to the bowels of Area 51's Groom Lake installation, from the most remote corner of our planet to geosynchronous orbit thousands of miles above, the Gryphens Saga comprises a single well-researched and believable story about humanity's real-world response to the threat of alien invasion.
