When fifteen-year-old Kyle Dunlop discovers two gold coins near the
entrance to a seaside cave, he can hardly wait to look inside to
find the rest of the treasure. However, instead of unearthing a
pirate's hoard, Kyle and his three friends stumble upon a secret,
subterranean world inhabited by goblins, elves, trolls, and other
fantastic creatures.
As strangers in this unusual world, Kyle and his companions are
detained by goblins until they are able to convince the Goblin King
that their intentions are honorable. With his suspicions allayed,
the king holds a feast for his guests and, afterwards, he presents
Kyle with a gift and a golden opportunity. Seemingly overcome by
greed, Kyle exchanges one like gift for another and unwittingly
unleashes a curse that sends him on a journey like no other he has
ever been on. It's a race against time and Kyle has to either break
the curse or forfeit his life.
Join Kyle and his companions as they come face to face with a
carnivorous razorback, encounter gigantic, man-eating spiders,
battle a sea serpent, play havoc with an army of invading giants,
and flee from an angry, fire-breathing dragon-all intent on
stopping them from reaching Darkalfheim in time.

returned to the planet. Mankind, though intellectually advanced has
become spiritually sightless and bound by fear and insecurity and

the Scientists have the opportunity to meet and learn from each
other. But the Otom must reach enlightenment if they are to
survive, and some of the Scientists have plans that threaten their
goal.

understand that's just how their world works.When Grocia is
approached by a mysterious man bearing a cryptic message about
rebellions, deserts, a Hooded One, and magic swords, Grocia begins
to understand that something big is on the horizon. Ferlenn Dri
wants to prepare him for what's to come and what his role will
be.There's a rebellion growing, and dark magic is about, turning
day into night. Its agents are raising an army of untold wrath. Two
swords of an old, forgotten legacy are about to meet, and war with
the kings looms. And Grocia, a boy who never passes on a dare, is
caught in the middle of it. He must choose a side and decide how
much he's willing to sacrifice for people he has just met and for a
larger world he's never truly known.
