The Ones Who Stand at the Crossroads
Noble Manning
For sixty-three years, Noble Manning built a life on denial… of magic, of intuition, of the quiet truth humming beneath Cedar Springs and his family’s hardware store. He chose practicality over wonder, safety over sight. His wife paid the price chasing visions he refused to honor. His daughter fled the gift he taught her to fear. Now the town is stirring, the past is knocking, and Noble’s lifelong lie is collapsing. He must decide whether to keep hiding from what’s always been inside him, or risk everything to finally see.
Jenny Martinez
Jenny Martinez doesn’t deny the unseen, she organizes it. Guided by her grandmother Rosa’s ancient wisdom, she perceives patterns others miss and grounds magic in systems that endure. A single mother by necessity, a builder by nature, Jenny understands that transformation without structure becomes chaos. Where others burn or break, she stabilizes. As Cedar Springs awakens, Jenny becomes the quiet force capable of holding change without being consumed by it.
The Night Walker
The Night Walker appears when places remember who they truly are. Moving between what is and what could be, he guides souls who arrive at sacred crossroads unprepared for the cost of awakening. Ancient as the cedar grove and unsettling as truth itself, he does not persuade…he asks. His tools shift shape. His presence bends reality. And his question is never gentle:
Will you cling to the illusion of what you know… or bear the cost of seeing what has always been?

Meet the Author
The Ordinary World
For most of his life, Mitch lived in the visible world, building companies, chasing outcomes, collecting the markers of success.
From the outside, the story worked. From the inside, something was missing. One by one, the achievements that once mattered began to hollow out.
What remained was a quiet question he could no longer ignore: Is this all there is?
Entering the Void
Then it happened. The shift didn’t arrive gently.
It came all at once, an unexpected rupture that dissolved the meaning of the life he’d built.
What followed was not loss, but disorientation. The familiar compass failed. Old ambitions fell silent. In their place emerged a vast, uncharted interior space: unnerving, luminous, and impossible to unsee.
The Pathway Through.
For months, Mitch wandered that inner terrain without a map. He wrote. He questioned. He sat in stillness, waiting for something - anything - that made sense. Then, one morning, a book seemed to call out from the shelf: The Alchemist. It wasn’t instruction, it was permission. A signal.
Soon after, deep in meditation, a transmission arrived: not as words, but as vision. Alive with symbol, story, and mythic resonance. He wrote relentlessly, as if recording something already waiting to be remembered. Six weeks later, a core narrative emerged.
Sacred Crossroads was born.
This book is not a lesson, it is an invitation.
A doorway for those who sense they’re standing at the edge of something more… and are willing to step through.
From being in the void, to emerging with a map, follow Mitch's story through the the awakening of Noble Manning in Sacred Crossroads. and see if you can take the next step.
