‘You cannot change the future when you escape to the past...’
When Daniel, a high school student in Memphis, Tennessee discovers that he is the sole heir to his great grandfather’s multi billion dollar company – previously kept secret since its founding – he becomes plagued with a recurring dream of the D-Day invasion of Normandy in 1944 from the perspective of a certain Sgt. Harrison Davis. Little does he know that this dream signals the beginnings of his journey into mastering a dimension outwith our material realm.
Meanwhile, Don, a librarian from Taunton, Massachusetts journeys on a quest to unearth a 4,000 year old relic of the Akkadanian Empire, completely unawares that this discovery will also ignite the start of his long road to understanding his role within this game of fates, a game which aims to envelop the world in shadow by resurrecting an ancient darkness once thought defeated and banished by the clandestine group known as the Elaë’thion in a civil war long ago.
In the midst of these story arcs, a mysterious figure known only as The Phoenix Angel oversees all movements, a puppeteer manipulating all strings. Where do his loyalties lie, and moreover, how does his story affect all spun within this web of time?
The debut novel in the epic tale of The Exusero Chapters, Arcanum is a novel which breaks the boundaries between science-fiction and fantasy, taking one on a journey to save the world from apocalyptic disaster whilst testing loyalties to all involved within this web of destinies. Through three different timelines, it introduces one to the realm of The Arcanum, a place of raw creation and energy. As the power of this realm finds its way into the world we take a journey of understanding with Davis, Don and Daniel as their stories become intertwined, with each action affecting all others. An epic tale of love, loss, loyalty and betrayal, Russell masterfully introduces this new world outside our own, and partnered alongside his passion for physics wonderfully creates a paradoxical story of timelines through the first two parts of this saga; Foundations and Arcanum.
The Exusero Chapters: Arcanum is a must read for anyone passionate about literature which brings together science and fantasy, impending disaster and the slim chance of hope, whilst trying to piece together where the true loyalties of all lie.
The beginnings of a master saga.
