In a world where Earth intertwines with realms of fantasy and science fiction, a humble boy is bestowed with a divine destiny, thrusting him into a journey of self-discovery and perilous adventure.

Our story begins on Earth, but an Earth with a past steeped in fantasy, myths, and legends. From humble beginnings, a boy is given a divine destiny, a chance to make his mark on human civilization, but he must embark upon a life-changing journey. Our hero struggles to understand what he has been given and what to do with it, losing himself in doubt and loneliness as he confronts the dark side of humanity.

Coming of age, Zen finds strength in himself, builds a family from a motley collection of strangers, and discovers love. His newfound friends help him open up, learn to trust others, and eventually understand his reason for fighting. The trials he faces throughout his quest amplify as his power increases, and he even sparks the ire of those in the spirit realm, who doubt any human can wield such power successfully.

As Zen grapples with the weight of his purpose and the sacrifices it demands, he learns that the true power lies not in his abilities alone, but in the bonds of love, friendship, and the resilience of the human spirit.\

Review:

If you would have told me this was the author’s first book, I never would have believed it. This was a breathe of fresh air and one of my most enjoyable books so far in 2024. 

It was nearly impossible to put down and a story I never wanted to end. You follow Zen on his travels of self-discovery. This was an amazing coming-of-age story. You can find a little bit of Zen in all of us. His ability to overcome obstacles and self-doubt to be a hero. 

The world that Albert transported us all was amazing. You feel like you are there and seeing things as Zen moves around. The Character development and growth were amazing. They were very relatable and true to what you wanted them to be. 

I was pleasantly surprised when I started this book as it is not normally my cup of tea, but I am so glad that i did. I recommend this book to anyone who is looking for a coming-of-age story. I am looking forward to seeing what is in store for us with book two.
