The Starmark

Mark was whisked away to the magical world of Pelagrim as a child, hand-picked by a golden god for an epic adventure. It should have been a dream come true, but his storybook journey ended in tragedy, and Mark was sent home in disgrace when his best friend was killed in a terrible accident. Now a thirtysomething in San Francisco, Mark carves out a mundane life for himself back on Earth. He works hard, goes to therapy, and even helps other former “voyagers” at support meetings. His relative peace is thrown into chaos when the elf who served as his childhood guide appears and offers him a chance to go back, an opportunity that has never been given to another adult, let alone one branded with the starmark. Joined by a group of other adult voyagers, Mark is tasked with saving a lost girl, but ends up uncovering a deeper mystery that sits at the very heart of Pelagrim’s ancient magic.If you've ever read a classic fantasy story and wondered what happened to those courageous children after the fairytales were over, The Starmark is a book for you. It's a novel about facing the childhood traumas that shape us and growing beyond them to live a healthy and authentic life. Maybe changing the stories we tell about ourselves can actually change our reality and even help the people we love most.
