Teens Nadia, Afsana, Yibinathi, and Min-Ji are strangers. They live in different countries, with their own demons to conquer, and their own dangers to face. But when the four teens are pulled into a Thura Gate-a bridge between our world and the magical realm of Amaris-they come together to discover a universe larger than anything they ever dreamed...and peril greater than anything they ever feared.
Amaris hovers on the brink of destruction: the evil Queen Sathariel has risen, and her Dark Forces are gathering. Amaris' protector, The Chosen-a teenage boy prophesied to destroy Sathariel and save the world-has been captured and imprisoned by the evil queen.
The only way to save him, and to break Sathariel's hold on Amaris, is to find a trio of magical weapons that just might be enough to free The Chosen and destroy Sathariel.
No one who's tried to find the weapons has ever survived, so it's up to four strangers from Earth, who will have to put aside their personal and cultural differences, conquer their fears, and risk everything to save The Chosen.
But they'll have to move fast. Sathariel's power has grown: she has broken the bonds of death to create an army of immortal soldiers that will help her complete her conquest of Amaris...and perhaps even set her sights on Earth.
Acclaimed journalist and storyteller Zoe Nauman invites you to take an epic journey into a world of fantasy, mystery, and adventure, where the only thing more powerful than magic is the strength shared by friends. Fans of L'engle's A Wrinkle in Time, Tolkien's The Hobbit, and Lewis' Narnia series will delight in this young adult coming-of-age fantasy
