Looking for the last remains of human life, a lonesome wanderer must find his identity and the reason for his journey. The fallen Earth holds secrets, an ancient war that will show him he is not alone. With old forgotten feelings of mistrust and sorrow, the Wanderer will have to navigate his path and remember his past. The journey is long, filled with thorns and friendly people with hidden agendas. And unfortunately, not all have his best interest at heart. The Wanderer will have to stay neutral and true to his path if he wants to uncover the truth.

He finds an unexpected guide in a woman who feels familiar. Will he choose to keep traversing these lands, lost as before, or will he take her guidance to find the answers his heart so deeply desires? ————— The Wanderer wishes to find another one of his kind.

Praise & Reviews "I absolutely loved following each man's story , background, and bias as situations arose with members of the church and their student groups. It was heartbreaking and tender, packed with real and raw emotion that just pulled at your heartstrings and gave the reader a lot to think about. Such an inspired story that I couldn't put down! " - Ash Knight, author "I absolutely devoured this story! It provides an inside look at a group of young seminarians trying to navigate through the duplicity, corruption, hypocrisy, and traumatic experiences of the religious systems perpetuated by the Catholic Church. I loved the different points of view of the characters during the 1980s and their insights on love, self-identity, and self-realization ... the struggle between good and evil is revealed within the delusion perpetrated by the powerful men of the Vatican City... a must-read! " - Lali A. Love, award-winning best-selling author "Dell'Olio flawlessly details the conflict of being gay and Catholic in an intolerant time. He opens a window into priesthood, Church politics, and corruption. This book is perfect for anyone dreaming of something more, finding the strength to believe in yourself, or searching for where you belong. One of the easiest five stars I've ever given. " - Halo Scot, author "A complex journey of immersive self-discovery between faith and identity. A great read, talented author." - Rory Michaelson, author "This book is many wonderful things. I highly recommend this for those who want an authentic account of growing into self." - Anya Pavelle, author "Good storytelling, a wide range of characters and a heartbreaking tale . I felt intense anger at the Roman Catholic church one minute, and pure joy at a love story the next." - Conor J. Bredin, author "This was a fascinating journey . Take the journey with these three men and see what you think for yourself. Your conclusions may surprise you as they did me." - Starred Review, 5/5 "A deeply original and honest book that took me into a world I could never know. What a terrific book." - Chase Hackett, author "I wasn't disappointed. I loved the characters; I enjoyed following their many adventures together." - S.S. Long, author "A multi-layered treat. This book was a fascinating romance-against-the-odds and I'd recommend it to anyone who is LGBTQ+ friendly." - Matt Adcock, author "The struggle between faith and sexuality is on full display in this dramatic story. I fell in love with the characters and rooted for them as they learn to love and be loved." - Starred Review, 5/5 About Mario Dell'Olio Mario Dell’Olio has published five books, two were finalists for the Wishing Shelf Book Awards.

Amazon US Amazon UK Amazon CA About the Author Quinn is an award-winning Canadian short-story writer and a versatile novelist who has published two 5-star internationally acclaimed novels: The Package, a biblical-archeological conspiracy thriller set in Istanbul, and No Good Deed Goes Unpunished, a noir psychological suspense thriller set in New York City. Reviewers have compared The Package to the works of best-selling authors David Baldacci, Steve Berry, Dennis Brooke, Dan Brown and Raymond Khoury and No Good Deed Goes Unpunished to the works of best-selling authors John Hart and Raymond Chandler. I won an Honorable Mention Award in the 85th Annual Writer’s Digest Short Story Competition (2016). Quinn earned a BA in American History from McGill University. Back in July 2014, I was sitting with my wife and her nephew, sipping mint tea, and we were discussing novels. I mentioned I knew how to write. So I sprang to my office computer and an hour or so later I had dashed off two paragraphs which became the kernel of The Package. The rest is history as they are wont to say. I write thrillers, whether historical or contemporary, crime or conspiracy, because those are the type of books I like to read. @AuthorBryan Previous Next

A Hero's Hope An Exciting Rip-Roaring Story of Hope, Courage, and Revolution Esperanza has it all planned out: She will tell Don Raúl that she can’t marry him, break off their engagement, and persuade her parents to let her marry the man she loves instead. After all, Artie is a hero. How could any parent object to welcoming such a brave man into their family? However, it soon becomes clear that the jealous Don Raúl will not give her up as easily as she had hoped. When Artie’s heroic sacrifice becomes the talk of the town, Raúl realizes that his bride’s heart lies elsewhere… and he decides to use the information to his advantage. Forced to choose between her own freedom and Artie’s, Esperanza must take desperate measures to save the man she loves. But as revolution looms and even families begin to turn against each other, danger lurks around every corner—and she soon learns that the greatest threats can come from the places you least expect. Esperanza will do anything to protect Artie. But with Artie’s attacker still at large, a vengeful Don Raúl determined to hang him for treason, and a bloody revolution brewing all around them, will her efforts be too little, too late? Led by strong female characters, A HERO’S HOPE turns the common damsel in distress trope on its head. Based on real historical events, this thrilling page-turner story of love and courage in the face of adversity follows characters on an emotional journey through laughter, tears, passion, and heartbreak. —————— There are fates worse than death. Being forced to watch the woman you love marry the man you hate is one of them. Artie always knew that Esperanza was out of his league. The beautiful daughter of a wealthy landowner, she sees him beyond his ragged clothes and lack of social status. But unfortunately, Esperanza’s parents are not so open-minded. Blinded by money, they are determined to marry her to the ruthless Don Raúl regardless of her feelings on the matter. Artie has to find a way to save her, or he will lose her forever. But standing up against the Don will earn him a warrant for his own execution. There is only one way to stop Raúl from using his life as a bargaining chip to force Esperanza’s hand... but will Artie have the strength to go through with it? —————— Praise and Reviews: "A rip-roaring, romantic adventure that is impossible to put down.
