The Lost Island of Blackwater
Some doors should never be opened. Jack Mercer is about to discover why.
Fifteen-year-old Jack Mercer expects his biggest problems to be school, homework and surviving another ordinary day in the seaside town of Greyhaven.
Then he discovers a mysterious brass Compass.
It doesn't point north.
It points towards doors.
Doors that shouldn't exist.
When Jack is drawn to the legendary Blackwater Island, he discovers a hidden world of ancient gateways, lost timelines and terrifying forces that have been waiting far longer than humanity has existed.
But Jack isn't an ordinary teenager-and the Compass didn't choose him by accident.
He is a Navigator, one of the rare people capable of opening paths between worlds. More dangerously, Jack may be something that shouldn't exist at all: a Doorless Navigator, able to cross boundaries that even the ancient creators of the gates cannot control.
Joined by the unpredictable Jax, the mysterious Alex, and allies whose loyalties aren't always clear, Jack is thrown into an adventure where every answer reveals a bigger mystery. Living networks awaken. Forgotten enemies return. Different versions of reality collide. And Jack discovers that the Mercer family has been connected to Blackwater for far longer than anyone ever told him.
With his family, his world-and eventually countless other worlds-in danger, Jack must make impossible choices.
Because someone wants control of every gate.
Something else wants them destroyed.
And Jack might be the only person capable of stopping both.
But saving the network comes with a terrible consequence.
Jack opens a door that was never supposed to exist.
And something on the other side has been waiting for him.
Fast-paced, mysterious and packed with cliffhangers, The Lost Island of Blackwater is the first adventure in The Blackwater Chronicles, an epic five-book series for readers
