Oakhaven, Level Green is an idyllic village where life moves at an unhurried pace until an apocalyptic dream unleashes a cataclysm that all but destroys the population of planet Earth and hurls the villagers into a nightmare dreamscape, which drags a reluctant sage out of retirement and forces the townsfolk into the role of heroic defenders. Are the Skywalkers allies or foes? Is the magic of the Peaceful Folk strong enough to deliver them from the hands of dark forces?
Delphine and her ghostly hounds float out from the clouds of time to join the quest, not only for survival but to set up new communities on the planet. Patrick rallies to the cause, fresh from the hell-fire of global warfare, and Leprechaun Branaghan Peat too becomes embroiled along with all the colourful characters of the town, of the planet Ascerious, and of various other levels, both higher and lower than Level Green.
This fast-moving tale of wonderful adventures, spiced with humour and mystery, highlights the perils of environmental havoc, greed and folly, but does not lose sight of the potent healing power of right intention, love and magic.
The words ‘The Rising’ in the title of the book represent a new dawn, the power of light and goodness, and an awakening.
