"Change the tides of history. A tall order for a runt named Perry McGown and his ragtag band of friends. But Perry is bound and determined to complete this mission, no matter the odds. He must prove himself in the face of a gathering storm of powers beyond his imagination. Accompanied by a ferocious ex-legionnaire named Stuber, a con artist named Teran, and a tinkerer named Sagum, Perry barges his way into a world where nothing is as it seems, old truths become lies, and myths become reality. In his quest to find "The Source", he must rapidly learn his place in the new order of things, or he and everyone he knows will be destroyed. And also, possibly, the entire world."--Page 4 of cover
