Book Description
In a world called Lanedon, five Artifacts enabled the High Council to keep the evil Lord Maligor at bay for centuries. But Maligor is cunning, and he has used powerful sorcery to open a portal to a parallel world where he has hidden the sword Aurcrin—the greatest of the Artifacts—so it can never again be used against him. This other world is a place called Earth. Krem Connelly just graduated from a college preparatory school in the Chicago area. His life has been a lot like his name: odd and obscure. But unbeknownst to Krem he happens to be a bloodline descendant of a special family in a parallel world. While backpacking in France, he finds a sword that was never meant to be discovered. When he grabs it, it opens a portal to a place called Lanedon. Upon stepping through he begins a journey to pursue a destiny that he does not understand, that only he can fulfill, and that will determine the fate of Lanedon. He must find the other bloodline descendants and help them acquire their Artifacts if they are to defeat Maligor. He must also discover his true self and come to terms with the history he has lived on Earth, and the history he has inherited in Lanedon.
