ABOUT THE BOOK

Book 2 of 3: The Basalt Pulse Series

What if the mountain had been calling you your entire life — and you only heard it when you finally became quiet enough?

The Basalt Pulse: Volume II is the electrifying continuation of Diana Deak’s self-discovery fiction series — a literary adventure that drives 4,130 kilometres from Lyon across seven countries to the foot of Mount Kazbek in the Georgian Caucasus, where an ancient waterfall carries something that no map has ever marked and no science has fully explained.

Sam and Albert built what they promised to build after their first mountain. The academy is running. The training centre is changing lives. And yet — underneath everything — the pulse has never stopped.

When a documentary on a Wednesday evening shows Sam a crack in the earth at the foot of a Caucasian mountain, he knows before the camera pulls back what it means. Fourteen months later, two men and a 1994 Citroën named Gloria are pointed east. Sofia. Ankara. The Military Highway. The Jvari Pass. And then: the hollow in the eastern face of Kazbek that appears on no tourist map, where a waterfall fed by ancient basalt channels has been returning people to themselves for ten thousand years.

What readers are discovering inside:
✦ A road expedition across Bulgaria, Turkey and Georgia — vivid, precise, unforgettable
✦ A guide named Dato who has spent 30 years knowing what the water does — and why
✦ A 1838 map of the mountain by a scholar who wrote: “they say the mountain carries”
✦ The science behind the living water — and the miracle it produces
✦ Two men who discover that the mountain never called them — they called themselves

Perfect for readers of Paulo Coelho, Cheryl Strayed, and Robert Moor’s On Trails — and for anyone who has ever felt a frequency they couldn’t name pulling them toward something they couldn’t yet see.

This is not a book about finding a mountain.
It is a book about discovering that what the mountain returns to you was never lost.
It was only buried.

The Basalt Pulse is a series of transformational travel fiction for readers who want their adventure with depth, their self-discovery with adrenaline, and their literary fiction grounded in the real pulse of the living earth.
