The Heart of the Living Mountain - Paperback

There were once six great high kingdoms; now there is only one. The prophecy of destruction is realized as the high king's power wanes and criminal families take more control of the land. Adventure calls to six individuals to prevent the collapse of the structured world.

One is an ancient man who lived many lives and died many deaths. He gave up on the world and sought only to die one last time, but that was forbade him. Another is a young boy who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth but was forced to learn the value of hard work, good morals, and earning what he had. Another is quite the opposite; he was born to a mother and father with almost nothing, but when given the opportunity to obtain riches, albeit illegally, he takes the chance. A princess who finds herself unprepared for the adventure set before her must learn how to rely on herself and communicate with others. A young girl who simply wishes to find an adventure. And a slave to a life of sorrow who only wants to be free from her bonds and the threat of death and live life in the sunshine of openness.

From the presence of the high king to multiple lone wastelands and everywhere in between, from the depths of the world to the skies above the kingdom, they travel and are tested in ways they could not have foreseen even if they did know what they were destined for.
