Produktbeschreibung
At his father's urging, a teenage boy finds himself working in an antique store while learning arcane skills and knowledge from the owner. While exploring the basement, he unintentionally converts a black coal from the dawn of creation into a mutating manuscript engraved on gold. When a much-feared magus finds out, the boy's mentor destroys the manuscript and casts it into gold ingots to prevent the magus from accessing the knowledge it contains. But the boy receives a psychic image of the text and becomes a carrier of the golden codex. The magus, keen to have the knowledge for himself, enslaves the boy in another realm, where he discovers that resistance, even valiantly fought beside a company of champions, is no match for the powerful master. To escape the realm he must enter a deadly contest that promises freedom for the winner and death for the vanquished.

Autorenporträt
William Sandberg is a Canadian writer enchanted from early years onward by stories bound to other worlds, fantasies and hidden realities that crystalize to a transpersonal reality. While focussed daily on the usual career concretions, he always shaved off some time for "the story" that he would one day ink in. He studied surrealist and fantasy writing with Michael Bullock for several years in Vancouver, and that propelled him into an odyssey of decades where the shores of perception and dream drift and mingle. Enriched yet unfulfilled, he broke away and returned to "the story." The fragment called The Golden Codex is how it starts.
