ABOUT THE BOOK

Seventeen-year-old Jared leads a normal but boring life. Then, one night, an oval-shaped stone with strange markings lands in his backyard during a strange thunderstorm with green lightning. As Jared explores the power of the stone, known as an Incognal, it begins transporting him to and from a strange alternate world called the Kingdom of Onteria.

Jared attempts to keep the Incognal and Onteria hidden from his family. But when Jared’s mother discovers the Incognal’s presence, the secret life she’s been living (for over ONE HUNDRED years!) becomes exposed. It turns out that the Incognal did not appear randomly but rather chose Jared for a destiny previously unknown to him. Will Jared overcome a difficult odyssey to fulfill that destiny, or will dark forces in Onteria prevent him from doing so? Read and find out.
