Book Blurb: Set around 200 years in the future, Echoes from a Time Passage tells the story of Markas, a dancer from the plane of Ezskiasia, and his journey to the Earth plane (Australasia) in his quest for both his sister and father who have disappeared, but also to find the person, April, whose image has been in his mind since he was a child. Though the book centres around the love between Markas and April, the themes centre around the arts and spirituality, with the arts being a conduit for Self realisation.
