Seventeen-year-old Apollo Zhen had been living two lives for as long as he could ever remember but after seeing his grandfather dead on the floor in his own house. One day he had found his grandfather’s journal containing unbelievable stories about strange creatures, magic, and evil forces. In the old book he had discovered the location of a very interesting portal in the woods. To his amazement there he found the portal and the magical world of Lumene. There he had made friends with all sorts of creatures though it seemed that not everyone there was enthusiastic about him entering the realm.
