Publisher Description

Follow your dreams if you dare, for your future is only a few steps away. Let your heart and dream guide the way. This is the story of a man who as a child was captivated by the stories and adventures of his grandfather. The old man had been a seafaring mariner often referred to as a pirate and could spin a yarn of exotic places, dangerous battles, and the recovery of unknown amounts of silver and gold. But to this wide-eyed young boy, it was the exotic places and people that spurred his imagination, especially that of a legendary place, a place that his grandfather called Shangri-la. Now that the man was grown, he sets off to follow his adventurous heart and explore all the places his grandfather had told him stories about as a child. His adventures take him to a variety of locations around the world, but the wildest of all his adventures starts as he chases after a dream and the entrance to a legendary valley that has been sought after for centuries. To his dismay, he discovers another mysterious valley instead, and although just as beautiful and picturesque as his grandfathers story, this valley harbored trouble. The valley was in dire need of help against flying monsters and an old forgotten hatred, which brought the monsters to life. This courageous adventurer finds himself caught up in a love of the land, strange new abilities, and a mysterious woman and her child. Above all, he manages to follow his adventurous heart and explore the exciting new world around him, while discovering Shangri-la is really . . . Come follow our wayward adventurer as he finally discovers what his grandfather had been trying to tell him with all his tales of mystery and exotic adventure.
