Description
<p><strong><em>Have you ever awoken from a vivid dream and wondered which side of waking was real?</em></strong></p><p>Burt Higgins' retirement is not going well. His children have grown, and his wife has gone off to earn a late-life degree, leaving him alone in his sprawling suburban home. With too much time on his hands, he broods on the state of the world, obsessively following the worst of cable news and the Internet. Increasingly angry at the state of affairs, he nurtures a fantasy that a dark lord from another realm has foisted these problems on humankind. If only he could transport to that world, he'd confront the demon and use the magic found there to defeat the beast and end despair forever.</p><p>On a particularly bad news day, while housebound in the midst of a snowstorm, he retreats to his study to shut out the world and immerse himself in his books. When, on a whim, he lights a candle purchased in an obscure Prague curiosity shop, a magical guide appears and offers to take him on whatever quest he chooses. When he asks to become a hero in a fantasy realm, he discovers a more complex world than he expected, and battling evil with magic turns out to be far from his greatest challenge.</p><p><strong>EVOLVED PUBLISHING PRESENTS</strong> a specualtive fantasy adventure sure not just to entertain you, but to make you consider your life, your dreams, your goals.

Story Behind The Book
My story of how befriending my ex for 13 years affected my life. Learn what happened in the end. My ex and I became very good friends after our divorce. We were married for nearly 3 decades. After I left him 13 years ago he never verbally abused me again. This was a healing time for me and our family during this time. Recently he shut his son & I out of his life when he remarried. I always knew this day would come but I somehow thought he had changed enough in the last 13 years as not to do this to us. My relationship does not matter at this time after all I am the one who ended the marriage because of abuse and unfaithfulness. But I do feel his one and only son deserved to be treated differently along the way. Choices...we all make them...some selfish and some sacrificial. Then we have to live with the out come. Someday he will know if he made the right choice. I think he already knows. Read my book, relax with me, cry with me or even laugh with or at me. Because laughing is so very healing to your body.And this is what this book has done for me. It not only healed my spirit and mind but my body also.
