This is an Epic Fantasy Adventure Novel set in today's world. ----------------------------- Merrick has a job. A girlfriend. A life. But upon the death of his father, he finds out that his past is a lie and that he is not even a member of the human race. Instead, he discovers that he belongs to an ancient species that has co-existed with mankind since its inception and whose members can use sound to command the elemental forces of nature. Merrick does his best to come up to speed and master his craft in time to take control of his destiny and defeat his sociopathic brother. But without a lifetime of experience, he wields his newfound power like a child with a gun, and with equally disastrous results. Join Merrick on an epic fantasy journey that takes him from the suburbs of Washington D.C. to the Highlands of Scotland and to the jungles of Mexico, as he strives to overcome his own weaknesses, confronts a family of formless, ethereal dragons, and races to discover his true self in time to save the world from a fiery end. ----------------------------- This contemporary fantasy novel deals with topics such as death, but it contains no gratuitous violence. It was written for adults but is suitable for teens and young adults, ages 12+.
