The Mountain's Mark (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798182345040)

When an occupying force descends on the quiet mountain town of Hunter, John Hawthorne does what he's always done - protect his family. But when the invasion turns brutal, John leads a desperate escape into the ancient tunnels beneath the mountain.

What he finds there isn't shelter. It's destiny.

Marked by a power older than the town itself, John becomes the unwilling heir to a forgotten legacy - the Guardian, chosen by the mountain to stand between destruction and survival.

As the enemy tightens its grip and the valley burns, John must confront the truth buried beneath the stone: some battles are fought with bullets, others with sacrifice. And the greatest threat isn't the army outside... but the transformation awakening within him.
