QUEENSLAND, Australia, April 9, 2009 — From the Mescalero Apaches to the ancient Chinese, the Elements of Man — fire, water, air and earth and winter, spring, summer and autumn, respectively — have played a pivotal role in many cultures. In his eye-opening debut novel, "The Seasons Within," author Leon Davis explores the fascinating theory of personality types and behavior rooted within early East Asian philosophy while compelling the reader to trust the unfamiliar and the unknown.
Packaged within a captivating narrative, the book's complex acumen is made accessible for the reader. In the story, protagonist Jonathon moves to New Zealand, where the outlook for him feels as bleak as the frozen winter landscape — until he befriends local boy Taylor. United by their youthful curiosity and appetite for mystery, they are drawn relentlessly to their meeting place, an eerie park that conceals unearthly secrets. There, under the guidance of a reclusive sage, they are given insights into nature and the human condition as they are initiated into the teachings known as the Elements of Man.
The unlikely pair is propelled on a powerful quest for understanding where they encounter mystical creatures and energies. With the unfolding of the seasons, the secrets of the park — and of nature — are revealed to them as they teeter towards a test of their own faith and courage.
Ideal for readers seeking greater understanding of their identity and intuition, "The Seasons Within" meshes past and present, the physical and metaphysical, to produce entertaining insights that illuminates as it entertains.
