Jackson Taeric lived in a small town of Hartengle, Canada, leading an average and uneventful life. That was until one eventful winter's day. He was chased into a small clearing within the forest he passed through hundreds of times before. In this glade he stumbled upon a gateway, and woke up to find himself in a distant and strange land, gripped by war. In this new world, the Night, a powerful group of grey-skinned people, launched a seemingly unprovoked attack against the Eternai, who have coexisted in peace for centuries. The Night press on their conquest of the land of the Eternai, whose loyal citizens struggle to band together and repel the invaders. Jackson must chose a side, for the decisions he will make in this distant land could lead to the downfall of an empire. Fantasy Fiction Book for Ages 9+
