The first volume in an ambitious fantasy series with characters you won't forget. Unlike Damon Grell, the fallen hero of his favorite series of books, Oliver Miles isn't magical and his life certainly isn't worthy of a story. Watched over by an oppressive caretaker, bullied at school, and with no friends or family to turn to, Oliver's only means of escape or happiness is through The Damon Grell Chronicles and the world of Elysium in which it takes place. But Oliver's life isn't what he believes it to be. When a dark witch arrives, searching for a hidden powerful magic, Oliver is propelled into Elysium, where he not only discovers that the world of fiction he loves is very much real, but it's also his home. Despite the disappointment that this version of Elysium differs from the one in the books, it does offer Oliver something he never thought he'd have: Sofiya, Darius, and Belle, three friends who quickly bond with Oliver, joining him in his search for the mysterious figure known only as the Storyteller, who is tied to both his past in Elysium and the world he grew up within. Caught between the new friends he longs to save and a dark secret that might unravel everything he knows about Damon, Oliver finds that the fate of the world, as well as his own life, is tied to ancient darkness that wishes to destroy it all.
