Synopsis

A fantastical, mysterious adventure with many unexpected twists and turns for fans of Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, and King Arthur.

No one ever told Deston the fae were real. He never imagined King Arthur was a real person, either, or that Excalibur had a twin brother sword. And these are just a few of the secrets his mother has kept from him.

But after Deston's mother mysteriously vanishes and he is shipped to France to live with a distant relative he's never heard of before, he and a tenacious French girl, Margaux, get lured into the fae realm of Tir na-nÓg where he learns everything he believed to be true is a lie. For come to find out, his mother didn't just vanish, she was kidnapped by an evil solitary faerie. And if Deston can't bring her and the King of the Fae back to Tir na-nÓg before the full moon rises, darkness will reign over the high realm and Deston's family and the entire fae race will be destroyed.

As Deston and Margaux race through a strange new world filled with giant wolves, six-foot tall bats, and other mystical creatures, one question nags at him—how is a fourteen-year-old kid with no magic supposed to defeat true evil when the fae couldn't? The only thing he knows for certain is he's not going to give up without a fight. And this will either be the greatest adventure of his life or his last.

About this title

Product Description

Deston Lesperance grew up believing faeries and monsters were nothing but bedtime stories mothers told their children. However, after his mother mysteriously vanishes and he stumbles into the mystical realm of Tir na-nOg, he discovers the shocking truth that these beings are not only real, they hold the key to his future. With his new friend, Margaux, and Excalibur's twin brother sword at his side, Deston races against time to find his mother and the Light Crystal before the full moon rises on the autumnal equinox. The odds are stacked against him and the obstacles they face push the limit of what two teenagers can handle: an attack by gremlin-like creatures; captured by 6 foot tall vampire bats; hunted by a giant wolf, and almost lost forever in the mist of Avalon, but Deston is not about to give up. He'd made a vow to do whatever it takes to bring his mother back-even fight the devil himself if he had to. The thing is ... when he made that pledge he had no idea how close he'd come to doing just that!"
