The River

by Keith Burns

Have you ever felt like you just didn’t belong and there was more out there for you? For as long as Seth could remember, he always had this feeling. From his home in Colorado where his Aunt Judy raised him as her own, to the coast of California where he lived a simple life; he was always searching for his purpose in life but never able to find it. Until the day when his life took an unexpected turn after he is called back to Colorado to visit his deathly ill Aunt.

As Seth’s aunt lay dying; she reveals that the life he knew was not really his life at all. On her deathbed she gives Seth a map drawn on an ancient scroll and the name of a man that will help guide him to his birthplace and the life he was destined to lead.

With just a map and the name of the man he needs to find on the other side of the world; he will go on a journey of self-discovery, hurt, and pain, but in the end, realize his destiny was far greater than he could have ever imagined.

On his aunt's deathbed, Seth is told he should return to the isolated village in Turkey where he was born, it's where he belongs. With the help of a guardian angel, Seth returns to find out he is one of the Chosen. He is marked to be the guardian of a place that people have pondered the existence and some have even searched for.
The story moves quickly and holds your attention the whole time.
