Ranger Nader had always been ordinary enough: a kid with a gamer sister, cousins who saved him from boredom, and a grandfather who loved maritime tales. When a girl at the park slips him a crystal dog tag, a bolt of lightning wakes a lifetime of lineage: magnetite crystals in his bones, the title, "Keeper of the Forest," and an impossible, magic axe that whispers in his dreams. By the time his parents vanish, Ranger's ordinary life has been replaced by responsibilities nobody warned him about-that axe is the Keepers' last line of defense for the Cedars of God and a relic from a war against Gilgamesh, a king who learned to steal the sun's wrath and set the world on fire. Now Gilgamesh is leaping through time, fueling himself on stolen lives. If Ranger doesn't learn to "be" the axe, the demi-god will take if from him and make Earth his furnace. Ranger Nader & The Sunstruck Phantom has been honored with many awards. It was a finalist in the Indie Excellence Awards and the Independant Author Network Awards and won its category in the Global Book Awards and the International Book Awards. "If Harry Potter were a Lebanese-American teen in the future, descended from Ancient Phoenicians, the plot for "Ranger Nader" would be the perfect blend of these stories." BookLifePrize."Five Stars A superbly plotted magical adventure, stylishly and flamboyantly written." The Wishing Shelf. Don't read another book where the kids got to school to become wizards; read one where they battle evil while training to crew a Guardian Ship, fight demi-gods, ALSO have magical powers, AND is based on history and mythology.
