Apeiros: Continuum Book One (Continuum Series)

Apeiros is Book One of the metaphysical Continuum Series by Ardyce West. Writer and artist Sophia Delaney has led an average life of mixed fortune. Now divorced and coping with the impending death of her enigmatic father, Sophia is asking the inevitable mid-life questions of mortality and existence. Then everything changes in a split second on a rain-slick highway. Sophia’s car hurtles into the median, and for a brief moment, she leaves her body and enters the mystical ethers of no time or space, where she realizes the wisdom within her soul’s journey. Otherworldly entities welcome her from the next dimension, and she’s given a choice to either stay, or return to reconcile a life not yet fully lived. Sophia makes her choice, and from that moment on, only one thing is certain - she will never be the same. She returns to her earthly life empowered with spiritual gifts she previously did not comprehend. Since the accident, persistent dreams of a young woman in ancient Greece haunt Sophia, leading her to seek the counsel of a Lakota shaman who tells her that her near-death experience opened her awareness to eternal life. In that past life, she was the Greek woman of her dream vision – the original Delphic Oracle. The shaman reveals that he has been waiting for Sophia to come to him. He gives her an ancient chalice passed down through generations of his Lakota ancestry; a sacred chalice once used by the original Oracle herself. Empowered by the talismanic chalice, Sophia embarks on a journey through dream visions of other past lives that reveal how to utilize her new abilities for the greater good of humanity. Her quest leads her to a mystical enclave of fellow travelers whose lives have intertwined throughout their collective eternal existence dedicated to Apeiros – the eternal, endless expansion - The cause of all unity and measure of all things.
