Mage of Realities

Some doors aren't meant to be opened. Some men aren't meant to be found.
Draven Harlock lived a quiet life in a hand-built cabin on the shores of a crystalline lake in the shadow of the Grand Tetons. A man of few words and hidden power, he spent his days fishing, reading, and maintaining the delicate balance between our world and the ones beyond it. Until the Secret Federal Authorities found him.
They came at dawn-black helicopters, tactical teams, and handlers in suits who knew his real name and the impossible things he could do. But before they could drag him into a cage disguised as a research facility, Draven stepped sideways through reality itself. He vanished. He awoke in the rugged Catamounts near Pikes Peak, Colorado-another high-altitude lake, another lonely cabin, but a different world entirely. The air tasted sharper. The mountains loomed with unfamiliar menace. And the authorities weren't the only ones hunting him. Something ancient and hungry had followed him through the rift... and it was already learning how to hunt across realities.
Now Draven must master his fractured powers, navigate alliances with locals who sense he doesn't belong, and stay one step ahead of both government hunters and realities bleeding into one another. Because if he falls, every world he's ever touched could collapse with him.
A story of wilderness magic, pursuit, and the thin veil between what is and what could be.
