The Heart of Tarkon by SC Meakin (top 10 inspirational books txt) 📕

Mankind believes he is the greatest intelligence on this Planet, and so do many others on similar Worlds scattered throughout the Universe. But some people know different. They know that every World is overshadowed by a Being of Planetary proportions, whose impeccable intelligence and incredible power far surpass mortals. Called Great Makers, these majestic Beings are the initiators of Life and its Keepers. They do not occupy thrones of grandeur, dictating with a rod of iron the daily activities of ordinary people, instead, they are the mindful ones, carefully influencing creatures like Man on towards his highest potential.

- Leaving behind a life of idleness when awakened to latent powers inside him, the young Hanor is encouraged by Brandor - a knower of the Mysteries, to travel to Tarden to help develop his potential. Hoping to be be of use against the coming tide of evil, Hanor’s loyal brother and best friend however, upset the proceedings when they follow him and his guide - Kifter. Tame the journey is supposed to be, yet it soon turns to one of discovery and daring, hardship and loss. Mysteries become as rampant as the evil preparing to strike. Death unleashes a series of events that results in the return of a precious Stone to The Freelands - The Heart of Tarkon. Giving hope amongst the growing darkness, its light and power is but the start of an even greater story, where mortals discover life exists on a scale far beyond present understanding.
