There are Alternate Laws at work in the world, says the Chantry Guild; Walter Blunt has pledged his life to them, and to the principle of destruction as a positive force.Even more disturbingly, the Alternate Laws appear to work.After centuries of hope and progress, and the triumph of science, something strange is happening to mankind.
