Pages : 392
Book Description
Chuck Kingsley has been chosen. His whole life, he's grown up in the shadow of his estranged, yet successful father. Since birth, everything has been meticulously planned out for Chuck, from school to his future career. All he wants is to live a normal life, but normal is out of the question for Chuck. When teenagers start to disappear all over New York, Chuck learns that magic is real and there's a world called Acanesia that's full of it. Not only that, but he gets summoned by the Queen, who has a strange request. Caylene Casselle wants to be free. Everyone she knows would be thrilled to be the Princess of Acanesia, but she doesn't think it's that glamorous. Wearing long dresses and attending Magical Court meetings can get boring after a while; and for Caylene, it's torturous. Meanwhile, dark forces are gathering strength. Monsters that have hidden in the shadows for decades, including the vicious Oglaturantas, are wreaking death and destruction once more. The Queen is holding a competition to find a group of powerful teenagers who just might be able to save the kingdom from a brewing war. For some reason, she believes a boy from the Other World is the key. When the opportunity arises for Caylene herself to compete, she risks everything she knows to fight for her kingdom. Together, the two uncover deadly secrets from the past, including a lost weapon that could be their last defense, if they can somehow find it before the monster army does. They're up against dangerous enemies of all kinds, as they fight for the survival of not just Acanesia, but both their worlds! Tyler Snure, a 17-year-old senior high school student, has loved reading and writing stories since childhood. He started writing creatively at the age of seven and worked on this book for over five years as a teenager. The Jewels of Fate is his first published novel. Tyler lives with his family and dog in Ontario, Canada. His long-term goal is to continue writing and create a series from The Jewels of Fate - so more to come! www.SnureStories.com
