  Fully dramatized cerebral horror-mystery and fantasy epic. On a lost continent during Roman times, Epinanaus, a renowned historian, has upset the Emperor Bolgud by rebuking the decadent palace and carnal indulgences. Enraged, the Emperor sends him on an impossible military expedition into the lands of the Centaurs. Although assumed to be dead, the historian survives and decides to retire, dwelling on the outskirts of the Empire where he studies philosophy, becoming a Sage and contemplating the existence of the All. He establishes a solitary hermitage in the desert: "The Well of Souls." 
  A traveler arrives one night seeking shelter. Against his better judgment Epinanaus lets him in. The unexpected guest, having traveled the continent, speaks of mysteries, of great deeds, bizarre cults, terrifying creatures, and political intrigue. He wishes to convince Epinanaus of an ancient conspiracy still at work. It would take Faith for Epinanaus to believe the secret history. If he cannot, as it seems, the cults and forces of darkness will enslave all. 
  The guest is Hepthe, a Christian hunted by the powers of Hell for his sins, and a insurrectionist. With a plan to convert his host from Rationalism to Faith, and to the righteous revolution, he seeks Epinanaus' help to overthrow the Emperor Bolgud. But it cannot be done without trust in a subversive organization: "The Mad and Scared Dogs" whose dealings are quite shady. Hepthe adds that Epinanaus must give his life to restore the old Republic. 
  Hepthe tells why this sacrifice should be made and why only Epinanaus can do it. To show him, he prays for prophecy and communicates with the angels...foreseeing the sinister plans of the Emperor Bolgud and his loyal wizard Zuphagen... 
  The prophecy reveals something unexpected. If Epinanaus will not be the hero, then God has another chosen one: The Emperor himself. For the mind and heart of that man will change when he meets the love of his life...

  Adam Turner works the lonely mid-dawn shift at his local radio station. From midnight to 6 a.m., he fills the quiet hours with old tunes, aimless chatter, and calls from the occasional night owl. It’s a far cry from his glory days a decade ago, when his voice was on prime-time radio and his name lit up billboards. Now, it’s just him, an empty studio, and a few listeners—drunk students heading home or truck drivers on long hauls.   
  At 12:45 a.m. one night, the routine shatters. The caller’s voice is cold, the stakes chilling: “Stay live on air until dawn, or this woman dies.”   
  For the rest of the night, Adam is trapped in a dangerous game. The caller’s questions cut deep, forcing him to confront his fall from grace and air his secrets for all to hear. As the hours drag on, Adam races to uncover who’s behind the call and what they really want, all while staying on the line to keep a stranger alive.   
  But when the truths get darker and the demands more personal, Adam faces an impossible choice: How much of himself will he sacrifice to save someone he’s never met?
