Johannes Volkner leaves for the moon in order to join an undertaking beyond him, or indeed any one person. Meeting several other individuals who joined this group by chance or by being offered a solution to their problems, he finds himself in a world of magic, technology, and constant danger. Meeting figures from history and mythos alike, he must unravel a series of distorted times and places with an unknown purpose against a timer, as a small part of the organization 'Heliopolis', while trying to understand hidden dangers from all corners. ------------------------------ New chapters release every Monday and Friday evening, between 5 and 7 PM EST. ------------------------------ ADDITIONAL DISCLAIMER: Chained Spirit Caller (CSC) is proud to proclaim that AI is NOT used in any way, neither in writing the series, or in the cover art used, which was commissioned from an artist who has chosen to remain anonymous.
