SPLINTERS IN TIME -- "A Journey into a Long Distant Past" follows Part 1 -- "Future's Vision," of Volume III in the series Ba El Shebub's Gift Awakens. This series features the magical adventures of twelve-year-old Aarvid and his nine-year-old sister Mona. Together, they must deal with the fact that Ba El Shebub's Magic has chosen them to become its wielders, but first they must prove they are worthy of that choice. Part 2 -- IDOLS and GODS Transported by the Magic into times past, Aarvid and Mona, as well as their friend Tishba find themselves left to their own devices. Bereft of their use of the Magic, brother and sister must overcome powerful evil and in the process become agents of change. Their journey into the long distant past takes them back to circa 2060 BC; the time of the Magic's creation when Dark Magic threatened to destroy Ba El Shebub's Magic before it had been fully created. Next, their journey takes them into a time of great religious and political upheaval; a time when idols and numerous Gods ruled mobs whose pursuit of perverse pleasure and use of sacrifice took advantage of innocent children and powerless adults. Limited in their access to the Magic, they are left to depend on their own resourcefulness as they face dangerous and powerful foes. With the outcome in doubt and their fate apparently doomed, Aarvid and Mona, and Tishba continue to believe in each other and refuse to yield to overwhelming odds. As a result, they become perceived as the personification of agents of the One God -Abraham's God-; messengers whose coming had long been foretold. Part 3 - SEEDS for DESTRUCTION When the threesome finally arrive at Abraham's settlement, they become entangled into the conflict between brothers Ishmael and Isaac. Their final leg through this ancient time takes them to the city of Sodom where perversion reigns. With the use of the Magic no longer denied to them, Aarvid and Mona must fend off the perverse evil that confronts them; in the process the city of Sodom is destroyed. Part 4 -- OF SLAVES, SARACENS, and KNIGHTS The final leg of their journey through times past takes the threesome to the time of the Crusades during the 'Battle of Acre' to recover the Tome of Magic.
