A Novel by Delta Charles.
A Time in Awakening is a story about war and struggle, a compelling story filled with thrill and adventure. But it is also a love story; a story about a man and a woman with a lifetime of waiting, yearning, and longing; of searching for the dream, and the vision of each other. It's t an inspiring spiritual journey.
It's been said that stories are gateways to other worlds, and I believe it, but sometimes, if used wisely, they can also lead us to a different life, one full of magic and love that we could actually create and live... Are you ready to cross over into yours? If so, let's start this journey then, but hang on tight and keep a weather eye on everything around you and beyond. There's a storm coming; it may as well be already here, and things as we know them are about to change for good.
Three years after surviving the First Battle of Fallujah, former Marine Chris Connelly drifts through a life stripped of purpose. Haunted by loss and pain, he embarks on a solitary road trip—a search for meaning that becomes a healing journey. It leads him to Awakening, a mountain town where 1953 flows at an isolated pace, guarded by timeless Keepers and agents of an unseen Balance. Here, visions of a woman guide him toward a collision between a Divine Plan and the power of an eternal love.
Thrust into a past that feels like home, he meets a woman who mirrors his soul—a healer with timeless eyes and quiet power. Their connection defies the orderly currents of this place. To stay together, he must awaken a dormant inner light and rise to meet her level of being. Guided by ancient guardians and challenged by the Balance and a race against time, he faces a final choice: remain the warrior fate designed, or become the healer his love—and the world—needs.
His final trial demands not the warrior’s violence, but the healer’s courage. To stay with the woman he loves, he must transcend his own scars and challenge the rigid laws of a universe built on balance. In the end, only a sacrifice born of pure selflessness can elevate their souls to a higher state of being—an awakening together into a renewed existence, where love proves to be the ultimate, enduring force, and their bond becomes the foundation of a life they were always meant to share.
