It has been a year since the incident that stranded the Continental ship Eureka outside the galaxy. The unprecedented use of a limitless portal technology has provoked the galactic Imperial powers to go on the defensive, preparing for war. The Elves and Santa are largely to blame for the state of galactic politics; despite their intentions being for the greater good, things have only grown worse... After failing the Mission, Tiberius is resolved to keep his people together, determined not to forsake his commitment to the masses. Tiberius was told he would be the last Santa, that he must now separate himself from the Elves. Yet Tiberius refuses to listen to anyone, sure that he will find a solution to keep the Mission going. Time is running out, his control is slipping; the distrust amongst the Elves is reaching a flash point. Forced to evacuate their home and scattered to the stars, the Disciplines struggle to coordinate their Elves and keep their organizations running. The galaxy's people, great and small, need help and guidance. For some Elves that means having to rely on themselves and not their Disciplines. All must find innovative ways to keep the galaxy from disintegrating into chaos. The fabled Key Stones are the Elves' last hope to save the Mission and return to their home. But they are not the only ones on the hunt for the mysterious objects. Returning from the stranded Eureka, the Elfin ship Vega resumes the search for the Key Stones while being pursued by the sinister Shinsei; a Rune Master who has been plotting in the shadows and is revealed to be the mastermind behind Emiko and the rival of Merlin. Kyanite Astro, a young elf struggling with basic Rune control and his own identity, will be forced into a face-off with Shinsei that will ultimately determine the fate of the Elves and the galaxy. About the Magi Charter series: For over two thousand years the legend of Santa Claus has endured. His is a Mission of peace as outlined in the Magi Charter, given to the first Santa by the Child. From humble beginnings, following that First Christmas, the Santa lineage has been passed down through the ages. This epic adventure tells the story of those Santas from the founding of the North Pole and the origin of the ancient elves, to our modern times where the world's problems affect even those in the secluded complex of the North, and concluding in the distant future which finds Santa and the elves committed to their mission on a galactic scale where Christmas traditions are barely recognizable. In every era, those committed to the Mission must find a way to deliver that which is needed most to those most deserving.

“Lash is capable of explaining the mind-bending concepts of Gnosticism and pagan mystery cults with bracing clarity and startling insight. . . . [His] arguments are often lively and entertaining.”—Los Angeles Times Fully revised and with a new preface by the author, this timely update is perfect for readers of The Immortality Key. Since its initial release to wide acclaim in 2006, Not in His Image has transformed the lives of readers around the world by presenting the living presence of the Wisdom Goddess as never before revealed, illustrating that the truth of an impactful Gnostic message cannot be hidden or destroyed. With clarity, author John Lamb Lash explains how a little-known messianic sect propelled itself into a dominant world power, systematically wiping out the great Gnostic spiritual teachers, the Druid priests, and the shamanistic healers of Europe and North Africa. Early Christians burned libraries and destroyed temples in an attempt to silence the ancient truth-tellers and keep their own secrets. Not in His Image delves deeply into ancient Gnostic writings to reconstruct the story early Christians tried to scrub from the pages of history, exploring the richness of the ancient European Pagan spirituality—the Pagan Mysteries, the Great Goddess, Gnosis, the myths of Sophia and Gaia. In the 15th Anniversary Edition, Lash doubles down on his original argument against redemptive ideology and authoritarian deceit. He shows how the Gnostics clearly foresaw the current program of salvation by syringe, and places the Sophianic vision of life centrally in the battle to expose and oppose the evil agenda of transhumanism, making this well-timed update more relevant than ever. “Sometimes a book changes the world. Not in His Image is such a book. It is clear, stimulating, well-researched, and sure to outrage the experts. . . . Get it. Improve not just your own life, but civilization’s chances for survival.”—Roger Payne, author of Among Whales
