Publisher's Synopsis
Alex Schaffer is an ordinary boy with a not-so-ordinary life. That is until everything changes, and the line between reality and fantasy isn't clear anymore. When Alex runs away with his almost-too-loyal friends, they find themselves thrown into a life of strange new worlds that harbor dangerous villains and dark, centuries-old secrets, never before known to man-kind. The kind of secrets Alex and his friends don't want to be a part of, and the kind certain people will stop at nothing to keep hidden. Feeling responsible for putting his friends into such dangerous positions, so far from their families, Alex will do anything to get his friends back home.
