The earth has been ruined; plague is rife and people huddle behind city walls, underground or in remote villages. There are no animals, no birds – and no freedom. And the divide between rich and poor is growing ever greater.
Into this world comes Chevalier, an unassuming tax inspector by day but a secret law-breaker and risk-taker by night who decides to experiment with a new virtual reality headset – CIRCE. Suddenly, Chevalier finds he can dip in and out of a world long ago and far away where his deepest hopes and fears are met, where there’s magic in the air, and where his spirit and bravery can emerge.
With a collection of gods, goddesses, heroes and heroines both ancient and modern, Chevalier takes on the spirit of the legendary Gawayn; only as Gawayn in the virtual world can he save the devastated real world.

A masterful book from a master storyteller. Phillip Mann creates a fully-realised world, alive with fascinating characters, vivid descriptions, historical and mythological allusions, and universal truths that touch the heart of what it is to be human
