THE PROFITS GO TOWARDS SPRAY/NEUTER/VACCINATION/TREATMENT OF HOMELESS DOGS. "Don't enter our land with iniquity or greed Failing which you will be destined to bleed Don't stray away from the path of Glede Always trust your instincts and follow the lead." - The rules written on the map of the underworld. Aden Greene is a ten-year-old Texas schoolboy who lives with his single-working mother Dana and grandfather Butterworth. Dana loves her son, but...there is an undying fear in her heart that keeps her from giving him a normal childhood. A mischievous, sarcastic woodpecker Beacan becomes his new best friend. Nevertheless Aden's human friend, the funny, food-loving geek, Brandon, wonders if the bird can be trusted. Adversity binds the friends together when they learn that Aden is the descendent of a race of supernatural beings whose parallel universe - Eldenland is now threatened out of existence. With a crushing deadline of three days and three nights looming above their heads like swords, the friends set out on a quest to the deepest bowels of the underworld. The journey ahead is perilous. The friends must travel by stealth through the land of mind-controlling creatures and flying centaurs who zealously guard the territory. Dark, headless riders and blood-thirsty beasts lie in wait in the forbidden forest of Dreyrwood. If they survive, the ultimate test awaits them. The Devil himself has his eyes set on the prize - Aden's soul.
