The world is destroyed.

For a thousand years, the Rehloy lived in isolation, developing a special relationship with nature. Theirs was a spiritual life, ethereal, in some ways divine. But change was in the air.

Something was coming, something ominous.

Loy and Beyond is the continuing story of a native people with extraordinary abilities, who face the invasion of a barbarous and technologically superior one.

It is the coming-of-age story of a child whose extreme sensitivities have forced him to live in seclusion. It is about his mother, who once liberated, is forever changed.

It is about a Shaman's journey, and another's rise. A new generation emerging, and an old and distant one arriving.

It is the story of the Ontarans, the first great civilization to rise out of the ashes of the past. Who, in attempting to conquer this new land and weaponize the violent beasts native to it,

discover something far more valuable and potentially far more dangerous.

Loy and Beyond is about first contact.

Industry Reviews

"Rich characterizations bolster this engrossing series' second installment." - Kirkus Reviews

"Todd David Gross has written a true epic that transports the reader into a future world full of the profoundly mystical and strangely familiar. It is a place of captivating beauty and terrifying danger that challenges our assumptions about the nature of humanity and our relationship to the world around us. I loved it." - James T. Powers, author of Shadows Over Dawnland, and Ancient Wisdom, Modern Hope

"Captivating... arresting... haunting.... Seamlessly continuing from Book One, Loy and Beyond leaves an indelible impression long after the last page has been read. I was quickly caught up and carried away in the skillfully crafted story of epic adventure, dangerous encounters, and shifting currents. Subtly woven throughout are whispers of wisdom that give one moments of pause - insights that both haunt and inspire. Throughout, the book seems to stir awake something within that feels like an aching for something once-known yet long-forgotten and now- needed. So excited to dive into Book Three!" - Kimberly Rudder-Breed

"In this second installment of the Loy trilogy, three storylines converge in an exciting and action-packed way. The story is replete with well- developed characters and thought-provoking ideas. It is a tale that re- veals the struggle in all of us between our higher possibilities and our lower functions. Once started, it is difficult to put this book down and it leaves the reader eagerly awaiting volume three. Kudos to the author for achieving something very special!" - James Conboy

"Loy And Beyond draws the reader into the primitive yet sophisticated world of the Rehloy. The author has an immersive style, and as the story evolved, it became so intense I could not wait to see where it would go next. The complex societies and overall fantasy were both intriguing and very satisfying. Reminiscent of Clan of the Cave Bear, the twists and turns of the story revealed roots of a civilization like our own, and provoked questions about life as we know it. I loved every minute of it." - Claudia Shwide-Slavin

"Loy And Beyond is a compelling story that resonates on so many levels. By telling the story out of time, it captures the zeitgeist of our own, teetering on both destruction and a new age. The novelistic approach to the esoteric content added a depth to the story that was fascinating. A rare achievement." - Michael Malloy

"Loy and Beyond charts the continuing saga of the Rehloy tribe and their inevitable contact with the Ontarans. Gross is keenly adept at the evo- lution and intertwining of his characters, and the contrasts between the two cultures. From the pureness of mystical beings to the darker strains of form and substance, the reader becomes deeply immersed in this ever-widening tale. Beyond the action-adventure, the inner life and synergy between animals, plants, trees, and the spiritually- aware, pulsates through this book. This symbiotic relationship not only nour- ishes the characters, but causes the reader to pause and recognize the importance for all living organisms to coexist. Simply put, this intrigu- ing story, with its twists and turns offers sustenance for the soul. It is a great read." - Joan Fisch
