Ekanta
Luke is seeking escape by exploring a new coastline formed after a cataclysm that changed even the geography of the Old World. A careless mistake leads to a near fatal accident that results in him being brought to an island community - the Ekanta - where he finds himself increasingly drawn into an unfolding prophecy.
Most groups in the Ekanta are concerned with seeing what is going on around them according to the their various belief systems. Binding all together is the Prophecy from the original spiritual Order on the island, now adopted by the Foundation that has built the Ekanta.
The Prophecy tells of the reincarnation of Lalitchandra, which is to take place in the Ekanta. However, all is not what it seems. Entangled with the Prophecy is also a Covenant by which the parents of the prophesised child will receive a huge part of the immense wealth under the control of the Foundation.
As the residents of the Ekanta approach the next full moon, their conflicting intentions and beliefs about the prophecy begin to play themselves out, and Luke finds himself unexpectedly caught at the very centre of what is happening.
As the story progresses towards its climax, the psychological space in which the events take place becomes more and more removed from normality. With an increasing blurring of the distinction between inner experience and actuality, a story of love, death, and relationships, develops. Together with the sheer power of nature, all the elements weave themselves together in a story that is more a "who will it be"? than a "whodunit".
