Really kept my interests to the end. A few twist through out the book, not too obviously, but throw someone off a little. (

Epigraph

The Ghost in Man, the Ghost that once was Man,
But cannot wholly free itself from Man,
Are calling to each other thro' a dawn
Stranger than earth has ever seen; the veil
Is rending, and the Voices of the day
Are heard across the Voices of the dark.
--Tennyson

Dedication

This one is for Greg, Nathan, and Robin

First words

Somebody died here once. I'm convinced of it. Somewhere here, in this huge garden. I feel them watching me.
