The Elias Chronicles

"In the spirit of C.S. Lewis, the fantasy is never about the fantastical; it's about deeply human and moral concerns: identity, voice, virtue, family, and conflict. A joyous, satisfying, life-affirming read!"

HANDS SWEATING AND HEART RACING…

Elias is a boy on the verge of adulthood, carrying a burden far larger than his small Hungarian village. Faced with an impossible choice, he is thrust onto a perilous quest into a supernatural realm—a world where ancient powers, dark forces, and mystical beings test him at every turn.

Guided by his grandmother's wisdom, Elias must seek out Zoltan, a mysterious sorcerer who holds the key to the omens shadowing his path. But to reach him, Elias must conquer a shape-shifting serpent that plagues his every move and master the power of a mysterious four-circle amulet his grandmother entrusted to him.

Filled with sword and sorcery, rich Hungarian folklore, and deep moral courage, The Amulet: Journey to Sirok begins an unforgettable portal fantasy series about coming of age, discovering your true voice, and finding out who you are meant to be.
