The Crust Walker: Not All Guardians Wear Armor

by Martin Murphy, George Guida (Editor), Margaret Daly (Illustrator)

What if the monsters in your dreams were real—and you were the only one who could stop them?

Griff isn’t an ordinary man. He’s been walking the Earth for lifetimes, guarding the balance between light and darkness. Known as the Crust Walker, he can see the invisible, read energy, and enter the dreams of others to battle the ancient forces that prey on the innocent. But this lifetime, Griff is tired—of fighting, of remembering, of the weight his soul carries.

During a quiet fishing trip in Upstate New York, Griff meets Ernie, a five-year-old boy haunted by terrifying night terrors. But these aren’t just dreams—they’re echoes of a past life, and dangerous entities from another age are closing in. With only ancient wisdom, elemental energy, and a deep connection to the Earth, Griff must teach Ernie how to fight before it’s too late.

Blending spiritual warfare, reincarnation, elemental rituals, and the mystery of unseen realms, The Crust Walker is a powerful, visionary novel that explores what it means to protect, to awaken, and to remember who we truly are.

Perfect for fans of Redfield, Millman, and Young
