The ancient and mysterious Book of Persivann, hidden by the Santiagos in the misty peaks of the Venezuelan Andes, lays waiting for its secrets to be discovered. Just before they travel to Christinas home in the U.S., Rafe has a terrifying shamans journey, where he receives a warning and is chased through the rain forest by something dark and unholy. Once in Minnesota, long-held secrets about Christina and her sister Ellens ancestry are revealed and explain why the most powerful dark force being on the planet wants them and the Book of Persivann. The dark creature is Ahriman, a fallen angel living on Earth in human form as the ruthless and powerful master of darkness. His true goal is too horrible to contemplate, and he believes the Book holds the secrets he needs to carry it out. An all-out attack by Ahriman and his army of flying creatures succeeds in capturing Christina and Ellen, inflicting horrifying wounds, and leaves Rafe and his brother Pablo for dead in the depths of Lake Minnetonka. The master now holds the injured sisters in his private research facility on his estate across the lake from the girls home. He only needs the Book that he believes will give him the next step in his diabolical plan and he believes Christina knows where it is. If he gains this knowledge and shares it with the dark force hierarchy, the sisters will live a life of horror and Planet Earths shift to the fifth dimension could explode in disaster instead of a step into a bright, new dimension.
