"It's a tale that's equal parts X-Men and Harry Potter with a voice and a cast all its own. Catalyst Grove moves you along with its simple but effective style, an intriguing structure, and young heroes one can't help but root for." - Michael Alan Peck, author of the award winning novel The Commons "Aegis is a young adult modern fantasy novel.
