Simon Forma, creator of the Janaforma combined and modified the Human and Tyrowsian genome to create the prototypical Janaforma race. Now, in its fifteenth generation, the Janaforma remain robust and adaptable and they take joy in their sexual triadic natures where one can be born, not as a male or female, but as a life giver, livebearer, or consort. Their lives continue to be guided by their 3C gene, which manifests through the Janaforma as the sacred principals of Community. To the Janaforma, Community is an undeniable space within each soul, a synergistic melange of altruism, self-sacrifice, and loyalty. Jana Sante is a Janaforma lifegiver and gifted psychic that lives aboard the starship, La Ventana. At 27 bio-years of age, Sante's fears are visceral as le (he/she) grapples with the responsibility of knowing too much. When Sante meets the brilliant and charismatic consort, Miro Rugen, Sante senses big changes are brewing in the Orion Spur. A few hours later, the enigmatic Evose Bogwa arrives aboard La Ventana and begins making many demands on Sante's psychic prowess. These demands will lead Sante on a mind-altering and transformational journey through The Permeable Web of Time.

What are the cosmic forces that draw people together? Is it a karmic dance of yin and yang? Or, is it the yearning within each soul that longs to heal the ills of the past? When the Gathosian beauty, Iosobell, joins the order of Trinity Witches, her psychic skills astound her tutor, Sister Viobella. Four years later, mentors and peers alike assume that Iosobell will continue her studies on New Delphi and become a high priestess; however, she shocks everyone and accepts a modest position as a music teacher on the small, Headwater planet of Sutcay Tay. Élan is 15 years old when he first kneels before the Shardasko master, Kyron, and begs for acceptance into the Sutcay Tay School. Intrigued with the possibilities of mentoring a Human, Kyron accepts Élan as a neophyte. Now, Élan is 22 years old and prepared to undergo the final life-and-death test of a Shardasko warrior, the quarrying. When Élan and Iosobell meet, the skills of a warrior and the cunning of a witch will join forces in an attempt to alter the course of reality. The ramifications of their encounter are so enormous that even these two advanced beings cannot predict what the final outcome may be.

Life is difficult in the "genetically-correct," world of the future, especially when society labels you a "Casual." The Earthbound Casual, Jane Hibernia Smith lives in a reconditioned space pod on the Southern banks of Lake Erie and is lucky enough to have a job as a Stellar Cartographer at Atlas Map Company. Nevertheless, she hates her job and she hates her life. On the cold winter evening of February 28, Hibernia finds herself in a Toledo bar called the Pink Slipper. Sometime after 11:00 pm, a dark and swishy Trinity witch, named Bell, enters the bar and offers to read Hibernia's tarot. The reading is extraordinary, but by now Hibernia is tipsy and does not seem to notice. Bell gestures at two cards with a red-lacquered nail and tells Hibernia, "The Tower has fallen and you stand unshielded, perhaps for the first time in your life. The Wheel whispers as it turns, telling me that your future awaits. It will lift you up and take you with it. You will be going on a long trip to a faraway place. You will go farther than any Human has ever gone before." Hibernia awakes the following morning to a braver part of herself. It is February 29, 2662 and as the sunset begins to consume Eastern Europe, we find Hibernia aboard a space shuttle bound for Earth's moon. A few hours later she will meet Sante and Cle, two genetically engineered humanoids that call themselves The Janaforma. Together is a love story and how love infuses lovers with loyalty, altruism, and self-sacrifice. Join Hibernia, as she tells her story of how love gave her the tools she needed to discover the best parts of herself.
