"A complex adventure and an emotional journey that explores themes of magic, sacrifice, heroism, survival, and the struggle between right and wrong." -Reader's Favorite Magic isn't real. Everyone knew that, and Cole was no exception. Their "perfect" world was founded on science and designed with three, beautiful, futuristic cities for its citizens to live in. Cities without poverty, homelessness, or crime. Creating this utopian world was easy to do, as long as these "problems" were relocated to a distant fourth city called Rhomac. Cole has been stuck in Rhomac for years, barely getting by on his low-paying job at the mine. He doesn't remember anything about his family or his past, and he doesn't particularly care. His plan is to work at the mine until he has the money to move to one of the preferred cities. Unfortunately, a chance encounter turns Cole's entire plan upside down, and simultaneously reveals there is much more to his past than he originally believed. Magic is real, and somehow, Cole can control it. With his life on the line and a huge secret to hide, Cole is forced to run, leaving his old life behind. But magic is dangerous, and Cole realizes both friends and enemies are equally determined to use him for their own purpose. In the end Cole must make a decision, and the wrong choice could cost him everything. The first in an exciting new series for both boys and girls, this middle grade and young adult novel is filled with suspense, action, and danger. The unique blend of sci-fi, dystopian, and fantasy elements creates an exciting book that readers won't be able to put down.
