The next fantasy adventure story in the chronicles of Anthony Delleroe and the magical world of NeverEarth, "The Rose Petal Thief" again finds the memory-awakened man at college. But this time, what comes through his closet door isn't an old friend or even someone he knows. Rather, it is a small, cloaked figure apparently intent on nothing more than petty thievery.

All people, all children, have adventures in fantastic, magical worlds of talking animals, living legends, and myth. But all children, eventually, grow up and forget.

Anthony remembered. Anthony remembered and returned. But now saddled with someone who's never experienced another world, apparently not even as a child, he must face a different sort of challenge as he quests to retrieve the mundane item that was stolen.

He must return to NeverEarth.
