A cryptic prophecy. A dangerous quest. An explosive family secret. And a crow with a white feather who is more than he appears...
Mortal peril is twelve-year-old Ty Baxter's new normal when he teams up with the weird girl from school to help an injured bird and suddenly finds himself trapped in a strange, magical world.
As Ty struggles to control his own emerging magical Talent, he and his new friends find themselves in a desperate gamble to save their missing families before the tyrant emperor of Arcania uses his dark sorcery to transform them into birds, enslaving them forever as soldiers in his enchanted avian army.
And if he survives all of that, he's probably still going to get grounded-if he ever finds a way to get back home.
An action-packed fantasy adventure filled with hilarious snark from award-winning author N.P. Thompson, the Arcanium saga thrusts unsuspecting seventh-grader Ty Baxter into a dangerous new realm of intrigue and magic where he must band together with a group of unlikely friends as they fight to save two worlds from a dark sorcerer with an enchanted army of crows. Will appeal to fans of Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, and The Cronus Chronicles. Will effortlessly hook readers and keep them eagerly turning the pages until the very end. - Kirkus ReviewsAn incredible adventure! - Readers' Favorite
