SUMMARY
They use blood to walk through
time and sigils to port worlds; they are Magi. They are the Legacy. They are
three. One ancient book, the Book of Woes, can either restore or condemn the
human race—depending upon who uses it. The Legacy seeks the mastery of this
Book. At the moment, dragons have it and one of them is a lover scorned.The
first of three is new to the game. Bruce Caieden is still playing catch-up as
Egyptian gods Set and Horus teach him the Magi way. Will his role in
the Legacy cost him his soul mate, his life? The second, Maramore, immortal and
cousin to the brothers Caieden holds the secret, the big picture; an immortal
must die, the Ankh Principle must be isolated, the Ennead sated and Order must
prevail to restore the ancient machine known as the Atum Origin aka the Rea
Novum. The third, Tolen Caieden, is a soldier of secrets and keeper
of true lies. Since his grandfather’s untimely death, he is also the custodian
of the Legacy. Maramore, Bruce and Tolen must find a way to satisfy the contradicting
terms of the Legacy—and stop a defunct, ancient order’s plan to Shift the Circle of Life. They need
blood to walk through time. They need blood to master the Book, and
they need blood to stop the Shift.
But there are more than two sides; there are four.

PRAISE
"Very well written, intriguing story line and curiously developed characters. I enjoyed the complexities as much as the intellectuality. Refreshing take on the genre."

"...we enter an intricate web of political intrigue,
mixed with time travel, Nazi treasures, and even magic.
The author sets the stage of the Nethertwain with some
skill, crafts his long list of characters to battle and keeps the action moving
from page to page."

and imaginative magick that even includes time travel, the Pope and Nazi
treasures...a very powerful and stimulating read and rewarding with its
intellectual depth and well-constructed foundations. McGonall’s command of
language is superb..."

"... woven with such intricate detail...McGonnall's
diction is fantastic... his use of language will feel oddly refreshing and
stimulating... a thrilling tale, The Breach Between is a special book because
it isn't bound to just one mythological idea."

and Dani, A Walk on Words
"McGonall wove a tale with words in the same way a
master swordsman wields his weapon...this book reads like a testimony to a love
of words and double entendres. Love, ambition and familial ties wrapped up with
a spell or two ... is what the reader can look forward to."
