Inquisitive siblings find their ancestory is wrought with disaster; they soon find a more sinster secret from afar, and a madman from the past.
Darren and Sonya use a powerful computer program to research their ancestry, soon discovering that their lines were terrorized by untimely death every few generations. A child in 14th Century Scotland finds an artifact from the sky that makes him worth bestowing of immortality. Now the siblings must find out who or what has been killing every other father for the last 650 years.
Aided by a powerful and sentient computer and a delightful couple from the edge of time, they discover the true source of the madness inflicting their ancestor--the Rolai, a race of galactic 'seeders' whose only faults are their own good intentions. Will it be too late to stave off an insane immortal? And will the cost of his prize be worth the Rolai's intervention?
