Past

Across the globe, multiple individuals struggle to reconcile encounters with bizarre entities—and to understand their distinct role in a new, frightening future rapidly unfolding before all of human civilization.

With increasing frequency, people across the globe begin reporting mysterious sounds and sightings that seem to defy the laws of nature. Many sense a pervasive change looming: Dr. Kagiso Mosupyoe has been contacted about an astonishing relic dredged from the ocean; Elena Ramsey's Hawaiian honeymoon becomes a cosmic revelation; David Kim's polymath godfather has original transcriptions of antique texts; Dr. Charles Ward glimpses the impossible at the bottom of the ocean; and Neal Paddock, new proprietor of a centuries-old pub in rural England, has heard tales of a certain group meeting there every hundred years.

They are among a select cadre of people, from North America to Africa to Australia, who encounter strange beings seeming to exist between mind and matter, beings who may represent an ancient culture shrouded in myth, and who take these people to the very limits of themselves—all to prepare for the arrival of something beyond natural understanding.

The awakening has only begun.

EVOLVED PUBLISHING PRESENTS the first book in the "A Progress of Light" series, a unique science-fantasy both psychedelic and psychological, which follows six individuals as they struggle to understand their distinct role in a new, potentially frightening future.
