Elsanoka is a part of a community born with the responsibility of maintaining peace between the former gods, known as Eradene, and humanity, whose touch is poisonous to them. She walks the delicate line of living in the past and fighting against humanity's mounting fear of the Eradene, who each control elements ranging from gravity, to time, to even life itself. When a man slays one of these cosmic beings, he gains that being's powers. Esirio Osarius is imprisoned in an oblong box after slaying countless Eradene, and Elsanoka is charged with keeping him there. During Elsanoka's journey, her faith in her community and humanity itself is put to the test. As others join her journey, from a duke to a swordswoman, and even the Eradene of present time, she must open her eyes to the truth lurking in the shadows.

Buck Sellers couldn't remember when he had not been a part of the fishing industry on Florida's southwest coast. He knew these waters like the back of his hand. When offered the chance to make some extra money by simply steering a shrimp boat for an inexperienced captain through the Placida Channel at night, he agreed. This proved to be a decision that would destroy his family and ruin his life.Hiding on a shell mound island outside Boca Grande, Buck began plotting his revenge. As he dug one evening during a rainstorm to even out the sand under his makeshift tent, his fingers felt a strange object--a gold cross with seven green emeralds in it.Buck had never been a religious man, but he took this as a sign from God. He tied the cross on a fishing line and hung it around his neck. For the first time in his life, Buck prayed and asked for God's help. As he sought justice for his family from the waters of south Florida to the night clubs in Miami, north to the mountains of Georgia, and back to the farmlands of Homestead, Florida, the story of the cross Buck found on that shell mound and how it protected him from all who would do him harm spread, creating The Legend of the Emerald Cross.

Through the gateway of a forbidden item, she is pulled apace into an underworld of crime and intellectual debouchment. And as her life spirals, she contemplates, both in her life and her studies, the conspiracies, schemes, and wars that echo through eons.I Dream is of three very personal stories of three people on epic quests and paramount journeys. It is of the inner dialogues of doubts, fears, and hopes that plague them every step of the way. A story of perceived giants, their grandiosity stripped away to reveal the very real, vulnerable, and approachable personage within. Destiny, as described by those destined for greatness, but told during the rise, when not even they could believe.

To argue that life is not about winning the battle but about fighting the fight and keeping the faith. I Dream is a story about perseverance, overcoming, and finding yourself and your place in the world. It is the inner monologue of destiny itself, as transcribed by the hand of fate.

In the same way the NASA astronauts mentioned in this book kept their feet moving forward, worked hard individually, and, as team members with others, reached for the stars, you too can make your dreams come true. On September 12, 1962, President Kennedy said, "We choose to go to the Moon in this decade and do the other things not because they are easy but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others too." I think the others he mentions are those who came before us and explored and challenged themselves to discover greatness within their own being. This can be attained by any of us including me, you, your family, your friends, and the people around the world who are willing to do the hard work in their lives. In seeking the thrill of accomplishment, be sure to stay focused on your goal. Now make the choice and be respectful and responsible on your path to greatness no matter how small or big that greatness is in your wonderful life.
