Congratulations! You are the owner of an authentic Idol from The American Idol Company. This Idol was made for the sole purpose of worship and reverence in exchange for blessings and protection. To use this Idol in any other way could result in damage, injury, and/or the cancellation of warranty. We at The American Idol Company wish you success and satisfaction in your spiritual journey. In an America where militias, doomsday cults and self proclaimed Prophets are as commonplace as gas stations and fast food restaurants, The American Idol Company is born. Operating under the belief that scandal and controversy will increase sales, the company founders manage to insult everyone from the Pope to the Ayatollah, inspire a generation, and come dangerously close to starting World War 3. “A hilarious, fantastic and crazy adventure that had me forgetting Douglas Adams is no longer with us!” ---Robert S. Wilson, Bram Stoker Award-nominated editor and author of the Empire of Blood and Ray Garret/Lifeline series.

Ahead of him a sort of ragged opening was appearing, as if someone was tearing a hole in the smoke. And licking round the opening--leaping red and orange flames, hissing and crackling. Neil felt as if he was going to throw up. The room, the whole house, seemed to be spinning round him. He staggered and fell. The floor tilted beneath him and he slid toward the opening. He opened his mouth to scream but nothing came out ....Mega-forest fires, millions of acres of dead trees, and a cult-like government that's torching the world's remaining forests ... Is this really what the north will look like in the near future?

The ancient world reveres and dreads the fierce ha-mazaans. Now, an Oracle has prophesied their destruction. Heir to the Defender’s Throne in the refugee city of Themiscyra, Cyra is eager to fulfill her role as protector of the ha-mazaan sisterhood. Instead, she is betrayed, kidnapped as war-bounty, and shipwrecked with a handful of warriors in a foreign, hostile land. As Cyra leads her people on a perilous odyssey home, she is forced to choose between new love and old loyalties, and between the old ways and the future she was promised—a future she considers a curse. Too late, Cyra will discover that those she trusts most are pursuing destinies of their own, and some will stop at nothing to see their treacherous prophecies fulfilled. Will Cyra yield to her promised fate when the future of the ha-mazaans depends on it? And if she does, will the legendary story of the greatest women warriors the world has ever known be lost to history forever?
