On a dig in southwestern Indiana, Earth Keeper Lily Redfern, a dedicated scientist and unworldly young Terran woman, is the chosen Earth Talisman. Struggling to stop an earthquake that threatens to split North America in half, she gets help from Carr Madoc, the Protector-Consort chosen to guard her and supply her with his strength. In New York State, Algernon Brody plots to create chaos in the world for his and his Destroyer friends' financial gain. The earthquake in Indiana was only the beginning. His Air Keeper wife, and the chosen Air Talisman, Autumn hates him for killing her parents and abusing her. Trent Steed, his half-human/half-Terran aide, loves Autumn and will do anything to get her away from the vile Destroyer. What Brody does not know is his act of greed will unbalance Earth and trigger the beginning of end times. Can the two Talisman couples restore balance, or will Brody's foul acts signal the end of all life on Earth?
