Description
Earth is a prison and you're living in it. It's called The Construct and its keepers carefully manage the rise and fall of humanity in order to extract soul energy to fuel the galactic expansion of an alien race... but we'll get to that.
When an enigmatic magic known as the Astrig Ka'a turns D'avry's life upside down, he finds himself in a struggle to save humanity, not only in his own time and place but throughout Earth's untold histories as well - histories replete with mechanized armor, steampunk airships, wolf-borne goblins, and creatures crafted from the very void between worlds. Now D'avry's dreams have become a playground for this world-bending chaos. When he saves the girl of his dreams, in one of his dreams, he inadvertently brings her back and must figure out what the Astrig Ka'a is trying to tell him and why the keepers of the Construct want so badly to kill a crippled girl from the future. The answer to these questions may be the only hope that humanity has, not just to escape its prison, but to survive as a specie

A Note From the Publisher
Eric's base camp is at the foot of the Sierra Nevada in NorCal (currently burning...) where he lives with his wife and three adult sons (two now, actually). His constant companions are two chihuahuas and ADHD, the first of which he's considering medication for. His work primarily appears on the galactic interweb as bits of static between other important stuff. Which is to say, it's pretty thin. But you can check out excerpts and short stories on his author page: https://enlard-author.weebly.com/
