Tracy Barnes is no ordinary Milwaukee teen. Music pulses through her veins, visions haunt her dreams – and just days before her seventeenth birthday, she discovers she’s an Oracle, heir to a legacy as old as time itself.

When a family trip to a 12,000-year-old temple in Turkey unearths a mystical flute that bends gravity itself, Tracy’s destiny is suddenly unleashed. But so is something far darker.

Sabine, a rival seer with a trail of blood and chaos in her wake, has her own plans for the ancient artifact. And she’ll stop at nothing to complete a prophecy that could end the world.

With only her instincts, a gravity-defying flute, and the echoes of ancient wisdom to guide her, Tracy must enter the spiritual realm and face Sabine in a battle where music is magic, and one wrong note could trigger Armageddon.

When small-time enforcer Billy Bayer betrays his mob boss, he expects revenge, what he gets is far stranger. Captured by the secretive descendants of the ancient Lemurian civilization, Billy is thrust into a hidden world that claims responsibility for every major event in human history.

Imprisoned and re-educated, Billy awakens a dormant power within himself, an extrasensory gift the Lemurians have guarded for millennia. But with knowledge comes rebellion. As Billy begins to question their sinister ideals, he forms a crew of unlikely allies to sabotage the very organisation that gave him his power.

Yet, one question looms: can a man rewrite a 12,000-year-old prophecy that foretells doom for mankind? The answer lies deep in the Brazilian Amazon, where renegade anthropologist Dr. David Steel and the embattled FUNAI Foundation race to protect indigenous tribes, and perhaps, unlock humanity’s only chance of survival.
