The Rings of Azimuth: Book 2 in the Scepter of the Gods Saga

By Mark Mills

The Scepter of the Gods is a prehistoric, ancient item of high technology crafted to wield spiritual power. The Rings of Azimuth are the connective pieces of the scepter. Launching full steam into the quest to find all five of its pieces, Alex and Mila convince Phelia to return to her hometown of Perth. None of them have much of a clue yet as to why the entire scepter is so important or where to find the remaining pieces. They hope to find something in the University library to help figure out what the scepter is and how to find these rings, the Wings of Aeolius, and the Opherus of Gravitus. With Alex having the Rod of Truth, they devise a plan to search for these pieces while considering options to retrieve Gaussian's Eye from the gods of Tekka.

Imagine that humans develop star travel in the next hundred years. With evidence that an ancient, alien race visited Earth long ago, our descendants set out to find their home. Archaeological discoveries point the way. We would likely imagine that after several thousand years they would be incredibly advanced, but what if our ancestor star travelers find people who seem to be less evolved than the people of Earth? Would we be compassionate or opportunistic? They could be easy pickings. What if our descendants choose to exploit the descendants of those who jumpstarted our evolution? What if those people are convinced that our descendants are gods?

Fast-forward nearly 100 years and truth, peaceful living, and spiritual power only exist in a forgotten, overwritten past. Our heroes are but a remnant of those values, but they resolve to expose Tekka's lies and restore Adamah and its people. They will have to push against powerful forces while learning that they are descendants of the oldest, most powerful race in the Universe.

Mila's incredible abilities and Alex's unwavering courage open Phelia's mind about the Ruach, but their bond is tested. Alex, Mila, and Phelia delve into the mystery behind the scepter. With the sometimes helpful and ever-annoying Koss, they find that answers often come in the form of harder questions. With Koss spouting old TV commercials and characters going to and from the sky via a beam of light, the narrative takes on a science fiction thread. They try to pull truth about their world from Tekka's complex web of disinformation and rewritten history. The mystery of Koss' origins may hold important keys to our heroes figuring out what they are up against. They find new allies while Phelia clarifies her dream to become powerful.

Peter's betrayal in The Rod of Truth is stinging Phelia to her core. Cracks in Tekka's illusions grow wider while Phelia draws closer to Tekka's clutches as either an adventurer or an adversary. Will Phelia's lust for power, fame, and fortune completely derail their plans to remove Tekka's grip on Adamah or will she succeed in becoming more powerful than the gods themselves? Who will become her allies and who will regret becoming her adversary?

The Rings of Azimuth is a spellbinding read and a masterfully woven tale of adventure, magic, technology, and self-discovery. Richly drawn characters drive a plot filled with twists and turns.
