Among their number is Markriss Denny, whose path to future excellence is marred only by a closely guarded secret: without warning, his spirit leaves his body, allowing him to see and experience a world far beyond his physical limitations.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nOnce inside the Ark, Denny learns of another with the same power, whose existence could spell catastrophe for humanity. He is forced into a desperate race to understand his abilities, and in doing so uncovers the truth about the Ark, himself, and the people he thought he once knew.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCOURTTIA NEWLAND\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of seven books including\u003ci\u003e A River Called Time\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Gospel According to Cane\u003c\/i\u003e, and his much-lauded debut, \u003ci\u003eThe Scholar.\u003c\/i\u003e In 2016 he was awarded the Roland Rees Bursary for playwriting.
