Caius Koinos has survived The Vicissitudes - climate change on an abrupt, violent, and swift course. With a desire to help people and to find meaning and purpose in a chaotic world that dispersed or drowned everyone he knew, he risks his life volunteering for search and rescue. But when oceanic deluge forces him into the British Columbia wilderness, his path leads him to an isolated mountain town full of climate change refugees. Here, rumours fly that a genetic mutation - a direct result of atmospheric change - has taken hold in many individuals, yielding telekinesis. Caius knows he's one of them.
Two warring secret societies will literally pull Caius into their underground sanctuaries. One will start a rebellion for a better world. The other seeks quiet peace. He wants both. But both would make him a sword-wielding murderer.
THE EMPTY MOUNTAIN examines the individual search for truth and meaning in life set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Canadian wilderness, combining high-flying sword-fighting action with eastern philosophy.All Rights Reserved
