The Ascent - by Christopher Walker (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

Poof!

Our whole lives can change in an instant.

And John Atwater-a skilled engineer and army veteran, who has plenty of battle scars from his time serving in the elite group called The Undesirables-knows this better than anyone. John's life is all about routine, discipline, and reliability-the tools he uses to cope with his anxiety. But that all changes when his boss sends him on a "routine" business trip to Scotland.

While in Scotland, he finds himself thrown into a beautiful yet troubled new world called Mhorelia, a magical place where he encounters mythical and dangerous creatures, must fight for his life in extreme climates, and faces the ultimate test to save Mhorelia from tyranny. On this perilous journey, he must embrace the unknown with courage while also being vulnerable enough to truly connect with others again, through mutual trust and undying loyalty and love.

In The Ascent, Christopher Walker, author and wayfarer, poetically weaves the perfect combination of adventure, thrilling action scenes, romance, the magical and mythical, the power of eternal friendship, and the beauty of poetic justice.

Adventure awaits. So, welcome to Mhorelia, all you fantasy lovers; come and join John Atwater on this soul-stirring quest. Will he succeed in helping the troubled people in this enchanting new world? Will he learn that, with the help of loyal friends and loved ones, he can step out of the darkness of his past and find the light of a new beginning?
