Wisdom hath builded her house, she hath hewn out her seven pillars:

(Proverbs 9:1)

The world is not as we think it is: a hidden war has been going on for 4,500 years.

A reporter investigating the mysterious death of a Roman Catholic priest discovers the man to have been living an equally mysterious double life. Things become further complicated when he believes he has run down a young woman on the road who subsequently vanishes without trace. Then the strange dreams begin.

Who is the girl? What is the story behind the priest’s strange lifestyle? And how are the two connected? As the reporter probes ever deeper into these mysteries, the stranger the landscapes around him become, ultimately leading him to confront the truth about himself.

In Wolfram von Eschenbach's medieval romance Parzival the Lapis Exilis refers to a stone fallen from heaven, synonymous with the Holy Grail. The Wanaai, an indigenous people of Pacific North America, know it too and call it the Galgal.  Jacob Shepherd is about to go on an unlooked-for Grail quest of his very own.
