Marvin's life was ordinary very ordinary. He lived alone in the beauty of the countryside but one day everything changed. Circumstances added up and Marvin found himself in the most wonderful place anyone had ever seen or could imagine. Carlan was so incredible that he thought he must have been dreaming but he wasn't. That was only the start of his adventure. From that day onwards his life would never be the same. He would face danger but he would also experience protection. He would meet creatures of all descriptions from the hideously ugly to the incredibly beautiful. He would meet the girl of his dreams and would save a country from oppression. Marvin had never looked for fame or position. He was happy to live the simple life but his meeting with King Salaman, Prince Korin and Chancellor Garroch changed all that. Rags to riches. Yes. Obscurity to distinction. Yes. Humility to pride. Not in the slightest. Marvin never looked for power but it was given to him. And to those he had influence over, their lives improved. Ordinary people in extraordinary situations. How do they respond? When a nation is under oppression and about to give in completely to tyranny and evil, a hero can be raised from the most unexpected of places. Also and perhaps most important to you, dear reader, it is one of the great tales of reconciliation and restoration. Read this book and believe that you can rise above and defeat any enemy you encounter. Dave Campbell
