The Arrival:
A Story of the Awakening of an Urban Yogi: Modern Magic and Mysticism

In this mesmerizing debut novel, author Daniel Williams weaves a spellbinding tale of spiritual awakening, urban fantasy, and mystical transformation. When Daniel discovers he can perceive the Bardo—a realm between worlds filled with ancient wisdom and shadowy entities—his ordinary life in the city transforms into an extraordinary journey of self-discovery.

As Daniel navigates between reality and the mystical plane, he encounters enigmatic guides: a mysterious raven, his shadow self Kage, and spiritual teachers who appear in both worlds. But with growing power comes grave responsibility. When his attempts to help others through mystical means backfire, Daniel must confront the darkness within himself before it consumes everything he holds dear.

Readers of Paulo Coelho's The Alchemist, Richard Bach's Illusions, and Ram Dass's Be Here Now will find themselves immersed in this contemporary meditation on:

• Modern spirituality and mysticism
• Buddhist philosophy and metaphysics
• Shadow work and personal transformation
• The intersection of eastern wisdom and western life
• Urban fantasy grounded in authentic spiritual practice

Drawing from authentic mystical traditions and personal experience, Williams crafts a compelling narrative that bridges the gap between spiritual fiction and practical wisdom. The Bardo Chronicles speaks to seekers, mystics, and anyone questioning their place in an increasingly complex world.
