It is available worldwide, everywhere books are sold. ### Synopsis When an otherworldly being crosses paths with Gabriel, a psychic investigator living in the year one billion, his world gets turned upside down. As missing pieces of his past suddenly emerge, Gabriel realizes that his dreams of a coming apocalypse are true. He must assume the mantle of The Last Steward of the Light. His only hope lies in an old book of magic his grandfather gave him, and the unlikeliest of friends — the Angel of Death. At its core, The Luminous Ones is about ascension, reclaiming hope, and celebrating the fact that we are far more than human — we are ageless, eternal beings that are only beginning to understand our capacity for magic. The key characters are energy alchemists, particularly the immortals, who personify universal energies such as Transformation, Hope, and Love. ### Publication Information - Author: Nicholas Ashbaugh - Publisher: Nicholas Ashbaugh Productions, LLC - Title: The Luminous Ones - Publication Date: October 31, 2020 - Library of Congress Control Number: 2020917497 - WorldCat listing: https://www.worldcat.org/title/luminous-ones/oclc/1243901197 ### ISBNs - Paperback: 978-1-7357268-0-9 - Hardcover: 978-1-7357268-3-0 - ePub: 978-1-7357268-2-3 - Kindle: 978-1-7357268-1-6 All editions are written in English.
