Odyssey of the Dark Realm

By C E Lovick

Odyssey of the Dark Realm: Book Two of the Monarch Mystery Series

Halloween night should have been a victory for the Light. Instead, Elias Blackstone and his best friends, Jess and Charlie, are left with unanswered questions. Their two elderly friends, Professor Quincy and Millie, the White Witch, have vanished without a trace.

While the teens search for clues, the truth grows far darker. Dr. Viktor Corvinus is more determined than ever. More than that, he has claimed the Devil's Pearl. With its infernal power, he begins constructing the Black Gate, a cursed gateway meant to unleash Satan upon the world.

But Corvinus draws his strength from more than the Pearl. The Dark Realm itself fuels his growing power. Outmatched in the real world as the light begins to fade, a desperate choice is made. Elias and his friends are sent into the Dark Realm, where they are granted new powers and an impossible mission. They must trek across its perilous landscape, endure its savagery, free their friends and families imprisoned within, and destroy the hellscape-only then can they strike at the heart of Corvinus's power and give humanity a fighting chance.

Time is running out. The Black Gate is rising.

If they fail, darkness will reign-and humanity will fall.
