Other people may see thirteen-year-old Marcus Kanenas as an outcast
and a nobody, but he sees himself as a survivor and a dreamer. In fact,
his favorite dream is of a world far away, a world where magic is as
common as air, where animals tell jokes and trees beg people to pick
their fruit. He even has a name for this place – Farworld.
When
Marcus magically travels to Farworld, he meets Kyja, a girl without
magic in a world where spells, charms, and potions are everywhere, and
Master Therapass, a master wizard who has kept a secret hidden for
thirteen years, a secret that could change the fate of two worlds.
But the Dark Circle has learned of Master Therapass's secret and their
evil influence and power are growing. Farworld's only hope is for
Marcus and Kyja to find the mythical Elementals – water, land, air and
fire – and convince them to open a drift between the worlds.
As
Kyja and Marcus travel to Water Keep, they must face the worst the evil
Dark Circle can throw at them – Summoners, who can command the living
and the dead; Unmakers, invisible creatures that can destroy both body
and soul; and dark mages known as Thrathkin S'Bae.
Along the
way, Marcus and Kyja will discover the truth about their own heritage,
the strength of their friendship, and the depths of their unique powers.
