Set in the present day, the world of The Seeing Eye Opens mirrors our own, familiar and ordinary, until the threads of time begin to unravel and the impossible becomes real.
Far beyond this era lies the world of TIONlan, a distant future scarred by apocalypse and rebuilt by those who dared to survive, a place where time itself has become both a weapon and a curse.
In 602 A.D, near the end of his reign as Pope, St. Gregory the great brought together scholars, philosophers, and historians to consider the state of humanity. Years of plague, and warfare had given him cause for concern regarding the health of the human soul.

A year later the group re-convened in Rome to discuss their findings and they concluded that human kind had been given a malady from soon after Adam and Eve left the Garden of Eden.
Scholars had discovered ancient Judean texts that indicated that Eve was, in fact, Adams second wife, his first being called Lilith who was made from the same clay as Adam and proved less sub servient to his demands.
When Adam complained to God, Lilith was cast out of Eden to make for Eve who, made from Adam's rib was more willing to serve Adam.
As the population grew, Lilith's disease spread until God himself saw what she had done and created the great flood to cleanse the world from her foul influence, but it was not enough and her malignancy has been growing once again
On hearing what his committee had discovered Pope Gregory was determined that no word of this should ever be made public for if people were to discover that God had failed them, they would be distraught and anarchy would ensue.
Instead, he decided that the symptoms should be re-categorized as sins giving people the hope they could be cleansed of their wrong doings and maintain the church's influence.

This theory forms the backbone of the Tionlan trilogy as the central characters search for a cure to Lilith's virus and a way to administer it before society rips itself apart and all human
life is wiped out.
