Thirteen-year-old Al Mathews always considered himself ordinary. He didn’t believe in magic, monsters, or anything out of the ordinary—until the day he was attacked by a Pawn. Chased by a shadow and forced to defend himself from a fencer, Al's world is about to be turned upside down.

When his mom’s job moves them to a new town near the Mississippi River, Al hopes to leave his troubled past behind: no friends, constant bullying, and the label of "loser." But trouble seems to follow him wherever he goes.

Now, with a group of unlikely friends, Al finds himself caught in a battle between good and evil. As dark forces close in, Al must make life-or-death decisions, racing against time to save those he cares about—and uncover the answers he needs—before it's too late.

From the start, it's easy to become a fan of Al yet I wanted to know how what happened in the prologue connected. I didn't know what was coming next and couldn't wait for more. This book has flairs of magic/super powers, demons, hand-to-hand combat, humor, and maybe romance coming? who knows but I'm looking forward to Al's next adventure and what comes next! Thank you for this series!!

a magical, adventure-filled series

It’s not fantasy for fantasy's sake.. it’s grounded in a world where magic and everyday struggles collide. What makes it compelling is how Al’s journey isn’t just about battling darkness out there, but facing the doubts and fears within. He’s not your typical chosen-one hero.. he’s a kid learning how to lead, to trust, and to stand up! (not with swords, but with integrity, grit, and heart!!) The magical elements are thrilling, but it’s Al’s emotional growth that gives the story its real power. It reminds us that bravery often looks like standing your ground, even when you're unsure of the outcome.

Bravery beyond battles
