Flight Of The Gryphon

Katera would rather die than allow the elders to present her at the altar of Kopa Na An. Her twin sister, Adrella, never returned after her Summons to the altar. Craving an end to her suffering under the merciless rule of Askinadon, Katera plots her own demise. Her plans are foiled when Mikolen rescues her as she plunges hundreds of feet down a waterfall to her death. The attractive stranger releases her from her forced servitude to Askinadon by removing the high-tech device implanted in her head. Encouraged by her freedom, and her attraction to this mysterious man, Katera asks him to free her people from Askinason's unrelenting grip. Mikolen is close to completing his 10-year project to repair the machine that will return him to his era. Helping Katera can only thwart his efforts by exposing him to his archenemy Askinadon. The only thing he still needs is the exotic matter stored inside the Orb in Askinadon's lab. With it he can end his exile in this hellish world and create a wormhole to complete the stargate that will carry him home. He has only to steal the Orb as his last act in this world. Yet, something compels him to risk it all, to gamble on--what--Mikolen can only look into Katera's green eyes and wonder. How did everything get so complicated?
