GENRE: Children's Adventure An Unofficial Minecraft Book for Kids Ages 9 - 12 Book One: An Unknown Past He is alone, lost, and with no memory of who or what he is. All he knows is his name: Steve. Fleeing through the night, pursued by half-glimpsed foes, Steve is rescued by the brave and beautiful Alex. Alex has appointed herself as the defender of a small village that finds itself under near-constant siege by the Mobs under the invincible Draugr: the Skeleton King. As Steve settles into his new home, learning the skills that will allow him to survive in this strange, hostile world, he continues to search for the answers to his own identity. At the same time, he faces other, more urgent questions: what does the Skeleton King want with them? How can they stop him from destroying the innocent villagers? What dark shadow lies across Alex's past? And who is the grim, dark figure with the glowing white eyes? Book Two: The Skeleton King Captured and pressed into service by the skeletons, Steve searches for an escape route deep underground. Meanwhile, on the surface, Alex fears that Steve has been captured by Draugr. Putting her own fears aside, she resolves to seek him out and rescue him. But to do this, she will have to infiltrate the enormous, labyrinthine castle of the Skeleton King. There she knows she will find dark corridors lined with marching skeletons, cages of ravenous zombies, and caverns filled with Creepers. What she doesn't know is that there she will be forced to make terrible choices, discover dark secrets, and worst of all, face her own deepest fears. Will she be able to escape once she passes the dark gates of the Skeleton King? Can she survive against such fearful odds? And what will she learn of Draugr's true plans? Book Three: The Mystery Revealed The Obsidian Cube: the all-powerful key to control reality itself. He who possesses it possesses the means to control the world...or destroy it. Searching for a way out of his underground prison, Steve stumbles upon the vast cavern in which the Cube lays. Meanwhile, Alex languishes in the Skeleton King's clutches as Draugr marshals his army of Mobs to take the Cube. From there, with its power, he will sweep over the entire world. To take the Cube, he needs Alex, and it was for this reason that he has pursued her all this time. But as they all descend upon the cavern of fire, they find that someone else is waiting for them. Someone far, far worse than Draugr and all his army. In facing this new threat, Steve and Alex will find themselves tested to their limits, yet at the same time, the stranger may hold the key to the secrets that mark the foundation of their lives.
