Why does Pilgrims' Passage matter? Why can greed and deceit still manipulate us? Why do people choose power over family? Working to address these questions and more, Pilgrims Passage: Rebuilding the Past is a journey brimming with adventures through turbulent times during the transition into the twenty-first century. For Paul Bardeck and Claudia Weiss, discovering a thousand-year-old monk's journal fuels their quest to rebuild a mysterious ancient monastery perched upon the foothills in the Slovakian High Tatras, with the promise of releasing boundless energy stored within ancient ruins, as well as the Book of ONE. Concurrently, Karl Vloda's seemingly unquenchable thirst for wealth and power, fueled by the Black Star Pact's dark energy, seems to make the quest for ancient truths a sideshow. As the pilgrims' paths entangle, will the promise of timely truths finally come to light? Does standing against the powers of darkness really matter today?
