One Great Love, One Great Adventure, One Great Year:
By Tamara Veitch DeFazio and Rene DeFazio
Magic happens. Sometimes as writers we are amazed where
the story takes us and the lessons we learn along the way. As we researched for
our novel we came across an ancient mystery that evoked such wonder in us that
we asked ourselves “why isn’t the whole world talking about this?”

We were fascinated by what is known as The Great Year
Cycle; a naturally occurring phenomenon written about in thirty-one ancient
cultures from China to Mexico. Plato called it the Great Year, the Mayan’s
called it the Grand Cycle and in India it has been known as the Yugas for more
than five thousand years.

It is common knowledge that the spin of the Earth gives
us night and day and the rotation of the earth around the Sun gives us the four
seasons, but there is more! There is a ‘wobble’ in the rotation that takes
approximately 26, 000 years, composing one Great Year. Like the seasons in a
year, the Great Year is divided in to four phases: the Golden Age, Silver Age,
Bronze Age and Iron Age. These periods are characterized by a rise and fall in
human consciousness. In the Golden Age human consciousness experiences full
enlightenment and then declines through the ages losing consciousness and
causing destruction, war and disconnect.

We weave these secrets through the extraordinary
lifetimes of our characters and consider: what if reincarnation is real? Marcus
has past life memory and his soul mate Theron does not. As the Dark Age climaxes
our hero leads the way in ensuring the ascension toward the Golden Age but he
is not alone. Hisarch enemy Helghul and the other Adversaries have devastating
plans for the world and are determined to expand the darkness, fear and doubt
indefinitely. One Great Year makes a quantum leap, weaving ancient wisdom,
modern discoveries and an alternative world history together creating a dynamic
novel series.
