Beginning of the Maelstrom is about a quest to save
our cosmos (the Helix) from forces of evil which
intend to take control of it. Lord Maelstrom is the
unseen architect of this ominous control. The Helix’
s Savior: Part One is the earliest attempt by
Alexander, a surviving member of the Ancients, to
counter these evil forces of darkness. Alexander
has the unusual magical power of the assumed
exterminated human subspecies, the Ancients,
members of an ancient society (thus earning its
name) which fell long ago for an unknown reason.
Alexander’s mission is to counter the diabolical
forces from Maelstrom and his agents. Before then,
Alexander must recollect his past and harness his
gifts to save the Helix.
