In return, they entered into a compact with God to guard a holy object. This sanctuary became a refuge for many of ill-repute, as the Friars cast no judgment and took in all who were in search of solace. Known as Alsatia, it did not suffer like the rest of the world. No Plague affected it. No Great Fire burned it. No Blitz destroyed it. Within its walls lies a secret to existence--one that has been kept since the dawn of time--a bevy of creation, where reality and romance, life and death, imaginary and real share the same world. One young man's entrance into this realm sends a shockwave of chaos through time. What lies at the center of this sacred realm is threatened for the first time in human existence. 610 20 $a Carmelites $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Friars $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Whitefriars Street (London, England) $v Fiction. 651 0 $a London (England) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Science fiction. 800 1 $a Moorcock, Michael, $d 1939- $t Sanctuary of the White Friars ; $v bk. 1. 941 $a 2 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722045136.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20200528055936.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8AEE3076B41D11E4B48B3FA5DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
