Pathway of the Gods

As the young disoriented Simon Hadley finally gets a grip on his repressed sorcery skills, he puts all of his efforts into finding his missing friends. Eventually, reunited, they strive to avoid recapture as they also try to come to terms with the different society that is emerging under the umbrella of the Directorate Treaty. Their previous adversary, Ithamar, the black modern-day Sorcerer, has been killed by the Ark, but the wealthy and ruthless cartel that he allied with is achieving repressive political power throughout the western world, with their contrived imposition of the widespread Anti-terrorist Treaty. In the past two years the world has split into two diverse groups, and as events escalate out of control to a likely nuclear confrontation, a remnant of the ancients' magic intervenes to assist them in escaping this turmoil into the far reaches of outer space. As they struggle to make a place for themselves in a warring feudal society, Simon realizes they have followed the ancient footprints left by the alien Carzars, and begins to accept the concepts of the prophecy devised by these aliens in antiquity, which explains his checkered background and foretells of an enigmatic future.
